Nian means Sui Ye, Xi Ye. It disappears for many years and emerges at the end of the year. When it emerges, it causes pestilence. It likes to eat humans and animals, so everyone avoids it. At a certain age, a certain old man came to a certain place and thanked someone for his advice: "I have nothing to fear in my life. I asked for a night, but I refused." I had no choice but to leave it.
That night, the power of the year came out like a plague, and no one could see it. The only house was lit with candles, and it was decorated with lanterns and red peach couplets, signaling the beginning of the new year. The old man suddenly wore new clothes and a red robe, and firecrackers came out. Nian ran away in fear without harm.
People return, but the house remains the same. He was overjoyed and asked about it, saying, "The bustling sound of the red light is something I'm afraid of every year." He was taught the technique, but there was no trace of it.
From then on, at the end of the year, everyone cleans their homes, puts up lanterns and colorful lights, replaces them with new peaches and clothes, and the whole family cuts candles until the end of the year, which is called staying up late on New Year's Eve, also known as New Year's Eve. The next day, New Year's Eve. This is called the New Year.
