In Chinese mythology, a Nian (simplified Chinese: 年兽; pinyin: nián shòu) is a beast that lives under the sea or in the mountains.

Once each spring, on or around Chinese New Year, it comes out of hiding to attack people, especially children. The Nian is sensitive.to loud noises and is afraid of the color red. The Chinese Lion Dance is known to have originated from the legend of the Nian. Thetradition began when a Nian attacked a village. After the attack, the villagers discussed how to make the Nian leave them alone.

Eventually they came up with a plan where drums, plates and empty bowls were hit and firecrackers were thrown, causing loud banging sounds that would scare off the Nian. This scared the Nian, and since that time, the Nian has not appeared in the village again. The Nian is still believed to exist, but that it is scattered about the jungle and mountains, never to appear in front of a human again.

The origin of the monster Year.

中国的过年是怎么来的，年是什么，有哪些传说？ 相传年兽头大身小，身长十数尺，眼若铜铃，来去如风；嗷叫时发出“年~”的声音，故名年兽。 古时候每到年末的午夜，年兽就会进攻村子，凡被年兽占领的村子都遭受到残酷的屠杀，头上的犄角就是武器。 人们利用年兽的三大弱点，放爆竹（会吓坏年兽），贴春联，驱赶年兽的进攻。为了防止年兽的再次骚扰，放爆竹、贴春联渐渐成为节日习俗，春节由此成为中华民族的象征之一。 当年兽被赶走以后，人们总是会高兴地互道：“又熬过一个年了。”慢慢的就有了过年的说法，也由此出现过年的习俗了。下面用中英文简单的叙说一下“年”的由来： The legend of  Chinese  new year 中国新年由来的传说 Long long ago in China, there was а beast, Nina. 在很久很久以前的中国，有个怪兽叫做“年”。 I am Nian. I have sharp teeth and giant claws. 我是年。我有锋利的牙齿和巨大的爪子。 People are scared of Nian. 人们都很害怕年。 So I would sneak into the village and scared everyone. 因此我会潜入村庄去吓唬每个人。 But I am scared of three things: loud noises, fire and the color red. 但是我害怕三件事:噪音、火和红颜色。 Let's fight back! 我们还击吧! L et's beat the drum! 我们敲鼓吧！ Let's set off firecrackers 我们放鞭炮吧！ Let's wear the color red! 我们穿上红色衣服吧！ Nian ran away and never came back. 年逃跑了，再也没有回来。 People celebrated this day every year. 人们每年都会庆祝这一天。 This is the origin of the Spring Festival. 这就是春节的来历。
