In Chinese New year, I think I will say “Kong Hei Fa Choi” to everybody..I think I will get a lot of money.!
Yes..let me introduce the Chinese new year..!
Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, starts at the beginning of spring. It occurs(发生) somewhere between January 30 and February 20. Each Chinese year is represented (再提出,象征)by a repeated cycle of 12 animals, the rat, ox, tiger, hare or rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. Chinese New Year is China's biggest holiday.
Its origin is ancient(远古), but many believe the word Nian, which means "year", was the name of a beast(兽) that preyed on(捕食) people on the eve(前夕) of a new year.
In one legend(传说), the beast, Nian, had the power to swallow up all the people in a village in one big bite. Village people were very scared of Nian.
One day, an old man came to the villagers' rescue(营救), offering (提议)to subdue Nian. The old man asked Nian, "I know you can swallow people, but can you swallow other beasts of prey(被捕食者) instead of people who are by no means your worthy opponents?"
Nian accepted the old man's challenge and swallowed the beasts that had harassed(厌烦的)the villagers and their farm animals for years.
At the end of the legend, the old man disappeared riding off on Nian. In this legend, the old man turned out to be an immortal god.
In the end, Nian is gone and the other beasts of prey are scared into hiding in the forests. The villagers can once again enjoy their peaceful life.
The legend goes on to say before the old man left, he told the villagers to put red paper decorations(装饰) on their windows and doors at each year's end in order to keep Nian away. It is believed Nian is afraid of the color red.
The tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on from generation to generation(世代相传). The term "Guo Nian", which means "Survive the Nian" became "Celebrate the Year" and the word "guo" in Chinese means both "pass over" and "observe".
The custom of putting up red paper and lighting firecrackers to scare away(吓跑) Nian continues today.
