About the Spring Festival party

2. According to legend, there was a fierce monster in ancient times, with a huge body and horns like horns on its head; Eyes are round. Like two lanterns. A big mouth can swallow a person. The name of this monster is Nian.

Living in a cave in 2008, he is the overlord in the mountain. Tigers, lions and black bears run for their lives when they see it; Goats, monkeys and rabbits heard its roar and collapsed to the ground. I hunted animals in the mountains in 2008, and when I was full, I snored and slept in the cave. Whenever the cold is getting better and the Spring Festival is coming, I will run down the mountain and eat people in the village in 2008. So humans are also afraid of it, and children cry. As soon as the mother says "the year is over", the children will cry with fear.

It is said that there were two children herding cattle, one named Ashan and the other named Ashui. They are good partners and very brave. They often drive cattle to the mountains to eat grass. The family said to them, "Son, it's been years on the mountain, so I can't go!" " "

"Not afraid!" A Shan and A Shui have a plan, saying, "We will carry bows and arrows on our backs. If the new year comes, we will climb trees and shoot! " "

Speaking of which, they went up the mountain several times, but fortunately they didn't meet Nian. In a blink of an eye, it is already the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it is already dusk. A Shan and A Shui are driving the cows home. Strangely, the cow screamed in panic and curled up into a ball. What's going on here?

"Hey, let's go!" A Shan and A Shui waved their bullwhip and fanned them a few times. Suddenly I heard a strange cry. A monster ran towards the road in front of the village.

Ashan said, "Ah Shui, look, a year has passed!"

"It is strange that Nian is a fierce beast. Why did you see us and run away in fear? " The water feels strange.

"Well," said Yashan decisively, "let's go after it."

These two little shepherd boys are really bold. They kept waving bullwhip to urge the cattle to leave. The bullwhip crackled and Nian escaped even faster. "Oh, yes!" Ashan suddenly realized: "I am afraid of the sound of bullwhip!" "

Ashan and Ashui drove the cattle into the village and saw Nian running to Wu Gonggong's house from a distance. There is a bright red dress in front of Wu Gonggong's house. He turned his head in fear and ran towards the back of the village.

There is also a village over there. At this time, as night fell, I saw bright lights flashing in the windows of every household, which made it dizzy and turned away. At this time, Ashan and Ashui have driven the cows into the shed and started to catch up. They whipped the whip on purpose and ran up the hill screaming in horror.

Ashan and Ashui saw all this clearly and returned to the village. They said to the villagers. "In the original afraid of ring, afraid of red, afraid of fire. We know its weakness and can resist it in the future. "

Hearing this, the villagers quickly came up with a good idea. Everyone lit a bonfire in front of the village. Ashan and Ashui threw bamboo, and there was a crackling sound in the fire. Run down the mountain for a few years. Seeing the bonfire and hearing the noise, I ran back. In this way, the night passed and the villagers were safe. The next day, on the first day of the first month, the villagers took out red oranges, peanuts and other delicious things to eat together and congratulated each other: "Congratulations!" "

Since then, people have called the first day of the first month "Spring Festival". On this day, every household sticks red couplets, sets off firecrackers, lights red candles and wears red clothes, taking "red" as a symbol of good luck. It is said that these customs gradually evolved by boycotting the Year.
