What is the history of Chinese New Year?According to legend, the holiday began with a mythical creature called the Nian, a beast that lives under the sea or in the mountains, during the annual Spring Festival.
The Nian would eat villagers, especially children in the middle of the night. In one year, all the villagers decided to hide from the beast. An older man appeared before the villagers went into hiding and said that he would stay the night and would get revenge against the Nian.
The old man put red papers up and set off firecrackers; the day after, the villagers came back to their town and saw that nothing had been destroyed. They believed that the old man was a deity who came to their rescue. The villagers understood that Yanhuang had discovered that the Nian was afraid of the colour red and loud noises.
Then the tradition became more popular when New Year was approaching, and the villagers would wear red clothes, hang red lanterns, and red spring scrolls on windows and doors and used firecrackers and drums to frighten away the Nian.
From that day on, Nian never returned to the village again and was eventually captured by Hongjun Laozu, an ancient Taoist monk.
