1. ๐Ÿฒ Chinese New Year celebration history

The holiday was born thanks to the old myth about Nian, a terrible horned ๐Ÿ‘น Beast. The Chinese believed that it crawls out on the first day of the New Year and destroys everything in its path. According to legend, once an ๐Ÿ‘ด Old beggar came to the village and asked to spend the night with an ๐Ÿ‘ต Old woman, who was the only one who couldnโ€™t escape to the mountains due to her age. The old man lit a ๐Ÿ”ฅ Fire in her ๐Ÿ  House, painted the front door red, put on a red robe, and when Nian nevertheless tried to enter the yard, he shot him with a bamboo ๐ŸŽ‰ Firecracker. Then the beast got scared and ran away.

Since then, on Chinese New Year, it has been customary to decorate houses in red, let off ๐ŸŽ† Firecrackers and light ๐ŸŽ‡ Sparklers to scare off the beast.

Interesting fact: Thanks to the Gregorian ๐Ÿ“… Calendar, this holiday has been renamed Chun Jie, or Spring Festival, to distinguish it from the Western New Year. But in colloquial language, this name is also translated as โ€œNianโ€.
