关于“春节”的起源，有一种传说是：中国古时候有一种叫“年”的兽。“年”，头长触角，凶猛异常。“年”长年深居海底，每到特定的一天（就是现在的除夕）才爬上岸，吞食牲畜伤害人命。因此，每到除夕这天，村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼逃往深山，以躲避“年”的伤害。有一年除夕，从村外来了个乞讨的老人。乡里一片匆忙恐慌景象，没有人理会他，只有村东头一位老婆婆给了老人些食物，并劝他快上山躲避“年”，那老人把胡子撩起来笑道：“婆婆若让我在家呆一夜，我一定把‘年"赶走。”老婆婆继续劝说，乞讨老人笑而不语。 半夜时分，“年”闯进村。它发现村里气氛与往年不同：村东头老婆婆家，门贴大红纸，屋内烛火通明。“年”浑身一抖，怪叫了一声。将近门口时，院内突然传来“噼里啪啦”的炸响声，“年”浑身战栗，再不敢往前凑了。原来，“年”最怕红色、火光和炸响。这时，婆婆的家门打开，只见院内一位身披红袍的老人在哈哈大笑。“年”大惊失色，狼狈逃蹿了。 第二天是正月初一，避难回来的人们见村里安然无恙，十分惊奇。这时，老婆婆才恍然大悟，赶忙向乡亲们述说了乞讨老人的许诺。这件事很快在周围村里传开了，人们都知道了驱赶“年”的办法。从此每年除夕，家家贴红对联、燃放爆竹；户户烛火通明、守更待岁。初一一大早，还要走亲串友道喜问好。这风俗广泛流传，成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日。

That is called "year" after the monster saw pig head, sheep and so on, immediately comes, opens the mouth, wants to eat. People saw the monster came, immediately lit the woodpile, beat drums and gongs, set off firecrackers, immediately the firelight sky, drums and gongs, firecrackers sound incessant, the monster scared to flee.
Since then every New Year"s eve, every family paste red couplets, set off firecrackers; Every candle is burning brightly and every watchman is waiting for the New Year. < / p > < p > early in the morning, but also go to kiss friends daoxi say hello. This custom spread more and more widely, has become the Chinese folk most solemn traditional festival.

CHINESE NEW YEAR
Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. The 15th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade.
The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements. The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days. In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chinese insert an extra month once every few years (seven years out of a 19-yearcycle). This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year. This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year.
New Year"s Eve and New Year"s Day are celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving. The celebration was traditionally highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of Heaven and Earth, the gods of the household and the family ancestors.
The sacrifice to the ancestors, the most vital of all the rituals, united the living members with those who had passed away. Departed relatives are remembered with great respect because they were responsible for laying the foundations for the fortune and glory of the family.
The presence of the ancestors is acknowledged on New Year"s Eve with a dinner arranged for them at the family banquet table. The spirits of the ancestors, together with the living, celebrate the onset of the New Year as one great community. The communal feast called "surrounding the stove" or weilu. It symbolizes family unity and honors the past and present generations.
