How many stories there are about the Year Beast, and what are they?

It is said that Nian is a terrible monster. Because it is very sensitive to heat and likes to sleep, it usually lives in the mountains, and it sleeps for a whole year, and it will not wake up until the end of the year. When it wakes up, it will go down the mountain to find something to eat, whether it is a person or an animal.

People were very afraid of this monster, so they had to take their families to hide somewhere else, and only dare to go home after Nian was gone. Later, a clever man came up with a good idea. He suggested that people use the glow of burning bamboo and the loud sound of explosions to scare Nian away.

It's coming! All of them set fire to the bamboo and hid in the house. Sure enough, the terrible year beast was frightened away by the fire of burning bamboo and the loud sound of explosion, and no longer dared to come out to eat people.

Since then, people have set off firecrackers on the last night of the year.

You can take a look at the "New Year" written by Naduo, and write about the New Year Beast from another angle, which is not bad.

Legend One:

A long time ago, there was a kind of monster called "Xi", which came out to hurt people at the end of the year every year, and even the stove prince who protected the people.

I can't help it. So, the Lord of the Stove invited a prodigy named "Nian" to heaven, and the prodigy was so powerful that he used red silk and a bamboo pole that burned in the fire to "crackle" and destroy the night beast. This day happens to be the last day of the lunar month, and in order to thank and commemorate the "year", the common people removed the "eve" on this day, and called the last day of the lunar calendar "Chinese New Year's Eve" and the first day of the new year "New Year".

Legend 2:

It is said that the year beast.

The head is big and the body is small, the body is more than ten feet long, the eyes are like copper bells, coming and going like the wind; When it howls, it makes the sound of "Nian", hence the name "Nian Beast". Over time, people gradually discovered that the beast was afraid of three things, namely red, fire, and loud noises. Therefore, later people would gather together when the beast was about to arrive on Chinese New Year's Eve and paste red paper (later gradually changed to peach charms).

or paste red couplets), hang red lanterns, set off firecrackers, etc., the purpose is to drive away the New Year beast. When the beast was driven away, people would always happily say to each other, "It's been another year." Slowly, there was the saying of "New Year", and the custom of "New Year" appeared.

The Nian Beast, also known as Nian Demon, Nian Monster, Eve, Nian, and Sui, is a vicious beast in Chinese folklore and legend that will appear on Chinese New Year's Eve and attack the people to eat people. It is said that this ferocious monster was very afraid of the loud explosion, the red silk cloth, and the fireworks, and evolved into a day when every modern household was decorated with lights and fireworks. The so-called "Chinese New Year's Eve" is a festive reunion custom during the traditional Chinese festival "Spring Festival".

On the last night of every year, Nian will appear in various places to eat people, but people who don't know anything are often eaten by Nian in a daze. Legend of the Year Beast Many people are looking for the weakness of the year, but the year is invulnerable, and no matter how sharp the knife is, it can't get into a centimeter, so every time the year comes, there will be a lot of people who are eaten by the year, so people flee far away, not close to the year, for fear of being eaten by the year.

On the day of the year, an old man came to a village, he was very hungry, and an old woman gave him a little food, and the old man said, "Thank you for giving me food." The old woman said; "When you're done eating, flee to the mountains with the people! ”

The old man said, "I can help you drive the beast away." The old woman was very strange and said, "Why don't you run away," and the old man begged for nothing. The old grandmother had no choice but to go up the mountain with the people to take refuge.

It's time for the year, and the year has broken into the village. It found that there was no one in the village, and the grandmother's house had big red paper on the door, and the house was lit with candles. Nian felt very strange, glared for a moment, and immediately rushed over.

When he was about to get to the door, there were suddenly all kinds of terrifying explosions in the courtyard, and Nian was so frightened that he didn't dare to go any further.

It turned out that Nian was most afraid of red, fire, and explosions. At this time, the door of the grandmother's house was wide open, and I saw an old man in a red robe laughing in the courtyard. Nian had no choice but to flee back to his own place empty-handed.

The people who had returned from the evacuation were amazed to see that the village was safe and sound. At this time, the old woman remembered the old man and hurriedly told the villagers what the old man said.

The villagers went to the grandmother's house together, only to see red paper pasted on the door of the grandmother's house, a pile of unburned bamboo in the yard, and a few red candles. In order to celebrate the auspicious arrival, the villagers who knew how to deal with the New Year changed their clothes and hats and went to the homes of relatives and friends to say hello. The news soon spread in the surrounding villages, and the people knew how to drive away the New Year.
