There is a legend about the origin of the Spring Festival.
春节的来历有一种传说。
In ancient China, there was a monster called Nian, with long antennae and unusual ferocity.
中国古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽，头长触角，凶猛异常。
Nian lived deep in the sea for many years.
“年”长年深居海底。
He did not climb ashore until New Year's Eve, devouring livestock and hurting people's lives.
每到除夕才爬上岸，吞食牲畜伤害人命。
Therefore, on New Year's Eve, people take the old and the young to escape to the mountains to avoid the harm of the Nian.
因此，每到除夕这天，村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼逃往深山，以躲避“年”兽的伤害。
Later on New Year's Eve, an old beggar from outside the village told people how to drive out the Nian.
后来有一年除夕，从村外来了个乞讨的老人，告知了人们驱赶“年”兽的办法。
Originally, Nian was most afraid of red, fire and explosion.
原来，“年”最怕红色、火光和炸响。
Since then, every New Year's Eve, families stick red couplets and set off firecrackers.
从此每年除夕，家家贴红对联、燃放爆竹。
Households have bright candles and wait for the new year.
户户烛火通明、守更待岁。
In the early morning of the Eleventh day, we have to go to relatives and friends to say hello.

This custom has become the most solemn traditional festival among Chinese people.
这风俗越传越广，成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日。

一、贴春联 —— Post new year's scrolls
每逢春节，无论城市还是农村，家家户户都要挑漂亮的红春联贴于门上，辞旧迎新，增加喜庆的节日气氛。春联的另一来源是春贴，古人在立春日多贴“宜春”二字，后渐渐发展为春联，表达了中国劳动人民一种辟邪除灾、迎祥纳福的美好愿望。这一习俗起于宋代，在明代开始盛行。
二、吃饺子 —— Eat dumplings
春节的第一顿饭都是吃饺子。煮饺子时，要鸣放鞭炮。为驱邪恶、求吉利，有的地区烧火煮饺子要用芝麻秸，意味着新的一年像芝麻开花节节高，日子越过越好。饺子要煮得多，必须有余，意在有余头。就餐时，除每人一碗外，还要多盛一两碗，意在希望人丁兴旺。
三、守岁迎新年 —— watch in the New Year
守岁是中国民间在除夕的习俗，又称照虚耗、熬年、熬夜。指在除夕夜一家人团聚，熬夜迎接农历新年的到来。除夕守岁是最重要的年俗活动之一，守岁之俗由来已久。
四、放鞭炮 —— touch off the firecracker
放爆竹是中国传统民俗，已有两千多年历史，相传是为了驱赶一种叫年的怪兽。当午夜交正子时，新年钟声敲响，整个中华大地上空，爆竹声震响天宇。在这“岁之元、月之元、时之元”的“三元”时刻，有的地方还在庭院里垒“旺火”，以示旺气通天，兴隆繁盛。
五、拜年 —— pay a New Year's call
拜年是中国民间的传统习俗，是人们辞旧迎新、相互表达美好祝愿的一种方式。古时“拜年”一词原有的含义是为长者拜贺新年，包括向长者叩头施礼、祝贺新年如意、问候生活安好等内容。
