What is the origin of observing age? 50 words

The origin of observing the Spring Festival is passed down from generation to generation. In ancient times, there was a monster named Nian who came out to make trouble every thirty nights. The fierce Nian is a carnivore, from birds and animals to living things, all of which are the objects it devours. In order to deal with Nian, people gradually explore its life law-every 365 days, Nian will rush to a crowded place in the dark, and then return to the mountains at dawn when the rooster crows.

Therefore, people regard this night as a horrible "year" and come up with various tricks to deal with it, such as keeping the old age, setting off firecrackers, giving children "lucky money" and so on, so as to ward off ghosts and evil spirits. That night, every family ate dinner in advance, turned off the fire and cleaned the kitchen, tied all the pigsty and cowshed, sealed the front and rear doors of the house, hid in the house to eat the "New Year's Eve" and prayed for the blessings of their ancestors until the dawn of the new year. Keeping old age has gradually become a custom for people to keep old age during the Spring Festival.

The Spring Festival refers to the traditional Lunar New Year in the cultural circle of Chinese characters, commonly known as the "Chinese New Year Festival". Traditional names are New Year, New Year and New Year, but they are also called New Year verbally to celebrate New Year and New Year. China people have celebrated the Spring Festival for more than 4,000 years. In modern times, people set the Spring Festival on the first day of the first lunar month, but it generally doesn't end until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month (Shangyuan Festival). In the folk, the traditional Spring Festival refers to the sacrificial stove from La Worship or the 23rd or 24th of the twelfth lunar month to the 19th of the first month.
