Story Introduction

1. Spring Festival

The Spring Festival marks the arrival of the new year in the lunar calendar. On this day, every household posts bright red blessing couplets on their doors and sets off firecrackers, hoping for a prosperous new year. According to legend, long ago, there was a ferocious monster called "Nian" that constantly caused panic.

The gods imprisoned Nian within the mountains, allowing it out only once every twelve months. After twelve months, Nian was freed and began wreaking havoc. People debated how to deal with Nian, with some claiming Nian feared the color red, fire, and loud noises. People posted red couplets with auspicious slogans, set off firecrackers, and beat drums and gongs.

The monster trembled with fear. As night fell, all the houses lit lanterns. Terrified, the monster hid in the mountains, never to emerge again. Nian was defeated, but the custom of celebrating the New Year continues to this day.

2. Lantern Festival

The Lantern Festival, celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, dates back two thousand years. Legend has it that in heaven, the Emperor of Heaven lived a dull and uninspired life. When he heard that people on Earth were living happily and contentedly, he became enraged. So he sent a flaming crane to the human world to burn it down on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. A kind fairy descended to Earth to inform the people of this event.

A clever person suggested that everyone light a lantern immediately. The fairy suggested that the crane be caged and the fire extinguished. When the crane descended to the human world, it was captured and placed in a cage that could not catch fire. People lit lanterns and set off firecrackers and fireworks. The Emperor of Heaven was delighted to see the fire on Earth. He believed that the crane had successfully destroyed the human world. In fact, people held a parade with lanterns to celebrate their victory. To commemorate this day, people hung lanterns or strolled through the streets carrying colorful lanterns. This is the Lantern Festival.
