There is a legend in the origin of the Spring Festival. In ancient China, there was a monster called Nian, with long horns and ferocious abnormalities. Nian lived deep in the sea for years, and climbed to the shore every new years Eve. Therefore, on the eve of new years Eve, people from villages and villages fled to deep mountains to avoid the harm of year animals.
On one new years Eve, an old man begging from the village came in. The villagers were in a hurry to panic. Only an old woman in the east of the village gave the old man some food and advised him to go up the mountain to avoid the year beast. The old man stroked his beard and said, if the mother-in-law let me stay at home, I must drive the beast out of the year. The old lady continued to persuade, begging the old man to laugh but not to speak. In the middle of the night, the year beast ran into the village. It found that the atmosphere in the village was different from that in previous years: the old woman of the east village, the door was pasted with scarlet paper, and the house was full of candlelight. Year the beast all over the body tremble, the strange cry. Near the door, there was a sudden bang bang bang noise in the hospital. The original year is the most afraid of red, fire and explosion. At this time, the mother-in-laws family door opened wide, and I saw a smiling old man in a red robe in the hospital. Year farmed and flee.
The second day is the first day of the first month. The people who came back from the refuge were surprised to see the village safe and sound. At this time, the woman suddenly realized, and hurriedly told the villagers the promise of begging the elderly. This incident soon spread around the village, and people knew the way to drive Nian beast. since then, every year on New Years Eve, every family puts on red couplets and firecrackers. Early in the morning, I would like to say hello to you. This custom has become more and more popular and has become the most solemn traditional festival of Chinese people.
2、中文版：春節是指傳統的農歷新年，在現代人們把春節定於農歷正月初一，但一般至少要到正月十五(上元節)新年才算結束，在民間傳統意義上的春節是指從臘月的臘祭或臘月二十三或二十四的祭灶一直到正月十九。春節是農歷的歲首，另一名稱叫過年，是中國最盛大、最熱鬧、最重要的一個古老傳統節日，也是中國人所獨有的節日，是中華文明最集中的表現。
春節的來歷有一種傳說，中國古時候有一種叫“年”的怪獸，頭長觸角，兇猛異常。“年”長年深居海底，每到除夕才爬上岸，吞食牲畜傷害人命。因此，每到除夕這天，村村寨寨的人們扶老攜幼逃往深山，以躲避“年”獸的傷害。
有一年除夕，從村外來瞭個乞討的老人。鄉親們一片匆忙恐慌景象，隻有村東頭一位老婆婆給瞭老人些食物，並勸他快上山躲避“年”獸，那老人捋髯笑道：“婆婆若讓我在傢呆一夜，我一定把‘年’獸攆走。”老婆婆仍然繼續勸說，乞討老人笑而不語。半夜時分“年”獸闖進村。它發現村裡氣氛與往年不同：村東頭老婆婆傢，門貼大紅紙，屋內燭火通明。“年”獸渾身一抖，怪叫瞭一聲。將近門口時，院內突然傳來“砰砰啪啪”的炸響聲，“年”渾身戰栗，再不敢往前湊瞭。原來“年”最怕紅色、火光和炸響。這時，婆婆的傢門大開，隻見院內一位身披紅袍的老人在哈哈大笑。“年”大驚失色，狼狽逃躥瞭。
第二天是正月初一，避難回來的人們見村裡安然無恙十分驚奇。這時，老婆婆才恍然大悟，趕忙向鄉親們述說瞭乞討老人的許諾。這件事很快在周圍村裡傳開瞭，人們都知道瞭驅趕“年”獸的辦法。從此每年除夕，傢傢貼紅對聯、燃放爆竹，戶戶燭火通明、守更待歲。初一一大早，還要走親串友道喜問好。這風俗越傳越廣，成瞭中國民間最隆重的傳統節日。
