There i the countryside of China allyearly a Nian
Monster awoke from its winter sleep and was very hungry. That monster hunted village poeple , mostly children. A monk found out that this monster hates red,yellow and golden light and loud noises came from crackers, He called all people together with red ang yellow lanterns and crackers. When the "Nian" came then the people lighted on their lanterns and fired up the crackers so that the monster begones to flee. That was every late January or soon February. This monster gives the time about 12 -13 moons the name of this time called Year,Jahr(German) Nian (Chinese),Niên(Vietnamese). An elder Vietnamese told me about this legend of the Chinese new year 10 or 11 years ago,he meant i´ve to remember this.
That monster called "年“(nian, pinyin in Chineses), you remember so clear about the traditional story! |
