Long ago, there was a scary monster called “Nian” with a
long head and sharp teeth. Living in the dark sea all year round,
Nian only came up by the end of the lunar year and hunted
people and animals for food. So all people would leave their
houses and hide in the mountains. One year, the day before the
Chinese New Year, an old man with white hair visited the town
and stayed in a house for the night. He put on red clothes, lit
candles in the houses, glued red papers to the doors, and made
loud noises. Hearing and seeing these, the monster ran away at
once. Next day when people came back, they found no animals
were killed and no houses were broken. After that, every New
Year’s Eve, people did as the old man told them to, and the
monster never showed up again.
