The story of spring festival

Narrator：郭锐锋JUMP

A long time ago, there was a monster called “nián”. The monster was big and violent[凶暴的]. He looked like a lion but he had a single-horn on his head. Once a year, the monster would run into the village, destroying[毁坏]the crops and eating the livestock[家畜]. Everyone was afraid of the monster and they would escape to a mountain to be safe.

One year, the villagers were packing up to escape as the monster was about to come. And there was an old man holding a broken bowl, walking slowly on the street and asking for food. A nice granny saw the old man, she offered him some steamed bread[馒头] and asked him to follow the crowd to the mountain. But the old man said: “if you let me stay at your home for one night, I can assure that the monster will never come back again.” While the granny was hesitating[犹豫的], the old man said: “don’t worry, I have three secret weapons to handle[对付] the monster.” The granny agreed to let him stay and then she left. After midnight, the monster came. When he was about to enter the granny’s home, he saw a three-red banner. The monster began to feel afraid but he still insisted on approaching[靠近]. Then he saw fire, and heard a scary noise caused by firecrackers. It was the old man holding a candle and lighting up a firecracker.The monster was scared and ran away. He never returned on that night.

All of this took place on New Year’s Eve. The next day when all the villagers came back from the mountain, the old man said to everyone, “The monster is scared of three things, the color red, fire and firecrackers. When he finished talking, he rode on a cloud and flew back into the sky. The old man was god coming to help the people. And ever after, Chinese people began to paste red spring couplets[对联] and light up firecrackers to celebrate Spring Festival[春节], also called Chinese New Year.
