scare away a legendary beast “nian”
年兽是一个残忍凶猛的野兽,古代人相信年兽在除夕夜时会出来吃人。传说年兽极惧怕红色、火光及吵杂的声音,人们就在门上贴著红纸条,并整夜点著火炬、燃放炮烛,来避开年兽。到了第二天一大早,“恭喜”之声不绝於耳,空气中弥漫著打败年兽胜利与重生的喜悦。

守岁。中国民间有彻夜不眠、通宵守岁的习俗,-家老 小或亲朋好友在一起叙叙旧,谈一下过去一一年中自己的一些收获及其经历,并且希望在新的一年事事顺利,大家相互鼓励,相互祝贺。不过,如今这种习俗慢慢有所变化,基本上都不会通宵守岁。<br>守岁<br>苏轼《守岁》: “明年岂无年,心事恐蹉跎;努力尽今夕,少年犹可夸! ”<br>吃完年夜饭,人们开始拉家常,现在是看春晚。直到午夜十二点钟声敲响以后才去睡觉。我们小时候,是十二点后,就开始放鞭炮庆祝过年,然后再去睡一觉。<br>守岁是和过去的一年告别,迎接新一年的到来。给孩子传递的是热爱生命、珍惜光阴的人生哲学。<br>Shou sui<br>Su Shi “Shousui” : “There is no year next year, worry fear waste; Work hard today, young can still boast!”<br>After the New Year’s Eve dinner, people began to talk about home, and now it is to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Didn’t go to bed until after the stroke of midnight.
