Listen Later

This story tells the origins of Chinese Lunar New year, which is called "Nian" in Chinese. 中国古时候,有一种叫"年"的怪兽,“年”的头上长着尖角,非常凶猛。"年"兽住在海底,每到除夕,就爬上岸来吃人和牲畜,所以每到除夕,人们都要到深山里躲起来。 这一年的除夕,乡亲们正忙着收拾东西躲到山里去。就在这时候,村子的东头来了一个白发老人。他对一位村民说,只要他可以在村里住一晚,就能将"年"兽赶走。大家都不相信。村民们都劝老人到山里躲一躲。老人不听,一个人留了下来! 当"年"兽准备进村吃人的时候,白发老人开始放起鞭炮,"年"兽看见鞭炮,吓得混身发抖 ,再也不敢向前凑了,原来"年"兽最怕红色,火光和炸响.这时大门开了,一位穿着红色衣服的老人哈哈大笑,"年"兽大惊失色,仓惶而逃. 第二天,当村民们回到村里时,发现家里安然无恙,这才恍然大悟!原来那位白发老人是神仙,他帮助大家赶走了"年"兽。人们还发现了白发老人驱逐"年"兽的三件法宝!从此,每年的除夕,家家都贴红对联,放鞭炮,户户灯火通明,“年”兽再也没有出现了。这个风俗 越传越广,成了中国最隆重的传统节日––“过年”。
