The Legend of Nian/年兽的故事：英文版

By 莫祺

"""The Legend of Nian"" is a Chinese folktale about a mythical beast that emerged on New Year's Eve to terrorize villages. People discovered that Nian feared red colors, firelight, and loud noises, leading to traditions like firecrackers, red couplets, and lanterns-now central to Chinese New Year celebrations.

"年兽"是中国民间传说中一种会在除夕夜出现的怪物，害怕红色、火光和巨响。人们通过贴春联、放鞭炮、挂红灯笼等方式驱赶年兽，这些习俗逐渐演变为中国新年的传统庆祝活动。
