元旦名称的由来
In one legend, the beast, Nian, had the power to swallow up all the people in a village in one big bite.
Village people were very scared of Nian. One day, an old man came to the villagers' rescue, offering to subdue Nian. The old man asked Nian, "I know you can swallow people, but can you swallow other beasts of prey instead of people who are by no means your worthy opponents?"
Nian accepted the old man's challenge and swallowed the beasts that had harassed the villagers and their farm animals for years. At the end of the legend, the oldmandisappeared riding off on Nian.
In this legend, the old man turned out to be an immortal god. In the end, Nian is gone and the other beasts of prey are scared into hiding in the forests. The villagers can once again enjoy their peaceful life.
传说中，“年”这个怪兽，有能力一口吞掉一个村庄的人。人们都很害怕“年”。
一天，一位老人帮村民们征服了“年”。他对“年”说：“我听说你很有能耐，但你能否把地球上其它的野兽都吃掉，而不是这些根本不是你对手的人类呢？”“年”接受了老人的挑战，若干年里吃掉了好多害人和捕食农场动物的野兽。
传说的结尾，老人骑着怪兽“年”消失了。原来传说中的这个老人是一位神仙。最后，怪兽“年”被赶走了，其他捕食的野兽也都吓得躲进了森林。村民们又过上了平静的日子。
The legend goes on to say before the old man left, he told the villagers to put red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each year's end in order to keep Nian away. It is believed Nian is afraid of the color red.
传说里讲，那位老人离开前告诉村民，每年年末都要在门窗上贴上装饰的红纸来吓唬“年”，还让年走的远远的。人们认为“年”最怕的颜色是红色。
Finally, day came and there was still no sign of the monster. The people realized the Emperor of Heaven had forgiven them and rushed outside to say congratulations to all their friends and neighbours. On New Year’s Day, people still greet one another in this way, congratulating them on surviving into the new year.
在远古洪水时代，有一种凶恶的怪兽，名曰 "年"。每到三十晚上，年就从海里出来，伤人性命，破坏田园。人们常常在天还没黑，就关上大门，不能睡觉，坐等到天亮，第二天才开门，邻里互相祝贺。
在一个除夕的夜晚，年突然进入一个村子，把居民几乎吃光，惟有两家人没事，一是一对新婚夫妻，由于穿着红袄而平安无事，另外是一家的小孩正在街上玩耍带响的爆竹，把年吓跑了。从此，人们在除夕之时都穿红挂红，并大放爆竹，凶恶的年就不敢来了。后来天上的紫微星又用火球击倒了年，把它拴在石柱上，人世间才太平了。因此，每到除夕人们都烧香，请紫微星下凡，从而有了除夕守岁的风俗。

Long ago, the Emperor of Heaven sent a monster, the Nian, to destroy the world on New Year because he was angry that people weren’t taking care of their animals properly.
