The origin of Chun Jie,
also known as Chinese New Year,
involves the conquest of a legendary best
Nian (year).
Nian has a very big mouth and would
swallow many people with just a bite. An
old man offered to subdue Nian.
He told
Nian that he heard Nian was very capable,
but he was unsure of Nian being able to
swallow other beasts of prey instead of
the people.To prove that he can, Nian swallowed
the beasts that harassed people and their
domestic animals.
The old man then disappeared
riding on the beast Nian. He was actually
an immortal. Nian is gone and other beasts
of prey are also scared into forests.
People
enjoyed their peaceful life and they never
forgot the old man who told them to put
up red paper decorations on windows and
doors at each year's end so as to scare
Nian away in case it sneaked back again.
