You will be a Chinese boy, picking
up Red Envelope from Grandma, jumping to collect lucky symbolic items—oranges
and gold ingots, lighting up firecrackers to get rid of ‘Nian’, a Chinese
legendary monster, which came out to eat villagers every lunar New Year.
Villagers accidentally knew that ‘Nian’ was afraid of fire, loud voice and red
color. Therefore, every Chinese New Year, people light up firecrackers and
paste red couplet at the door to scare ‘Nian’. After that, ‘Nian’ also means ‘Year’ in Chinese. |
