The origin of "New Year's Day".

In ancient times, there was a monster called "Nian", and at the end of each year, it would run out of the cave and go to the village to find food. This monster eats everything, especially children. People are very afraid of it, and by the end of the year, every household is closed and dare not come out to play. People call this disaster "New Year's Day", and only by escaping this disaster can children grow up to one year.

Until one year, Nian Beast went to the village to find food, and a family was cooking with dried bamboo. When the dried bamboo burned, it made a crackling sound, and the nian beast was so frightened that it ran away as soon as it slipped away.

So one passed ten, ten passed a hundred, and everyone in the village knew that nian beasts were afraid of the sound of firecrackers. Everyone starts burning firecrackers at the end of the year, which is the reason for the "one-year-old in the sound of firecrackers". After the invention of gunpowder, the villagers replaced firecrackers with firecrackers.
