The story of the spring festival

Stick to the end of this year.

In ancient times, there was a fierce monster scattered in the mountains. People call them nian. It is ferocious in nature, only eats birds and animals, and changes its taste every day, from kowtowing insects to living people. Later, people gradually mastered the activity law of "Nian", that is, every 365 days, people go to places where people live in concentrated communities to taste fresh food. The haunting time is after dark, and when the rooster crows at dawn, they return to the mountains. After determining the date of the ravages of 2008, people regarded this terrible night as a gateway, and came up with a set of methods to close the New Year's Day: every family prepared dinner in advance, turned off the fire, cleaned the stove, then tied all the cowpeas, sealed the front and back doors of the house, and hid in the house to eat the "New Year's Eve" because this dinner was uncertain. In addition to inviting the whole family to have dinner together to show harmonious reunion, we should also worship our ancestors before eating and pray for their blessing to spend the night safely. After dinner, no one dared to sleep, so they sat together and chatted with courage. Gradually formed the habit of not sleeping on New Year's Eve.

The customs of the Spring Festival

The New Year's Eve dinner is really lively. Everyone is scrambling to make new year's dishes, and the wine and meat are everywhere. Men, women and children all put on new clothes, put up red couplets outside the door, and put up various New Year pictures in the house. All the houses were lit all night, and guns were fired day and night. People who work outside will go home for a family reunion dinner and worship their ancestors unless they have to. That night, no one slept except very young children, but everyone stayed up late. The scene of New Year's Day is completely different from that of New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve, the streets were crowded with people. On the first day of New Year's Day, all the stores put up boards. Last night, firecrackers piled up in front of the door, and the whole city was resting.
