The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. But do you know why we call it Nian
Let me tell you a story to explain the reason. Once upon a time, there was a bad monster(怪兽) named Nian. On the eve of the New Year, Nian would come up from the sea and eat the villagers. People were very afraid, so they all hid in their houses. One New Year's Eve, the monster came again. The villagers hid as usual. The monster went to the first house. Suddenly it heard a loud noise: BANG! BANG! BANG! The fireworks made the monster afraid. And it saw fire and red paper around the door. They also made the monster afraid, so it ran away quickly.
Nian never came again. The villagers led a happy and safe life. Now people always put red couplets(对联) on the door, wear red clothes, set off firecrackers and keep the house bright on New Year's Eve every year.

(2025南京江宁期末)On the 15th day of the eighth lunar month every year, people celebrate the Mid Autumn Festival. This year, it falls on September 21st. Watching the moon and eating mooncakes are some of the fun activities we do during this traditional festival.
People look up at the moon and give best wishes to each other. The full moon stands for being together with friends and family.
Also, many popular legends and poems are about the moon. They all show how Chinese people appreciate(欣赏) the moon. The most famous legend is about the lady Chang'e. Long ago, people said there were ten suns in the sky. Her husband Hou Yi shot down nine of them. The Empress of Heaven(王母娘娘) gave him a magic pill(仙丹) as a reward. This pill would make him live forever. However, Chang'e took the pill by accident. Then she flew to the moon and lived there forever.
Another legend tells the story of a woodcutter(伐木工) named Wu Gang. He had to cut down the tree because he once made the Jade Emperor(玉皇大帝) angry. But the magical tree kept growing back. So he had to work endlessly.
There are a lot of poems about the moon too. For example, Su Shi of the Song Dynasty wrote his famous work The Mid Autumn Festival, Tune: Prelude to Water Melody(《水调歌头·明月几时有》) during the Mid Autumn Festival.
