过年的传说
相传,中国古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽,头长尖角,凶猛异常,“年”兽长年深居海底,每到除夕,就爬上岸来吞食牲畜伤害人命.因此,每到除夕,村村寨寨的人们就扶老携幼,逃往深山,以躲避“年”的伤害.
Legend Story of New Year
It was said: In ancient China, there was a monster called “Nian”, which was extremely fierce with sharp horn. This monster of “Nian” lives deep in the sea all the year around.
And on every New Year’s Eve, it will climb up the seashore and attack animals and humans. Therefore, bringing along with the young and the old, the people from all villages and small towns have to run away from their hometown, and then go to remote mountains to avoid its attack.
今年的除夕,乡亲们还像以往都忙着收拾东西,准备逃往深山.
这时候,村东头来了一位白发老人.他对一户老婆婆说只要让他在她家里住一晚,他定能将“年”兽赶走.
众人不信,老婆婆劝其还是上山躲避的好,老人坚持留下.
众人见劝他不住,于是便纷纷上山躲避去了.
On the New Year’s Eve of this year, as usual, villagers are busy themselves in doing out and collecting their stuffs, then ready to go to mountains again.
At this time, there comes a white-headed elder from village east. He asked one old lady to let him stay at her home tonight, and also promised that he could drive this “Nian” monster away.
The people didn’t believe what the elder said, and still persuaded him to run away to mountains with villagers together. However, this white-headed elder still persisted in his own opinions. So finally all villagers run away from their town, leaving this elder alone to stay at the village.
当“年”兽象往年一样准备闯进村子肆虐的时候,突然传来白发老人点响的爆竹声,“年”兽吓得浑身颤栗,再也不敢想前凑了.原来,“年”兽最怕红色、火光和炸响.这时大门打开,只见院内一位身披红袍的老人哈哈大笑,“年”兽大惊失色,仓皇而逃.
When “Nian” crashed in to the village and prepared to cause damage like last year, suddenly the elder fired the crackers and then there come out a huge sound.
The monster of “Nian” was horror-stricken badly, and then didn’t dare to come closer the village any more. Because “Nian” is afraid of red color, firelight and the huge burst sound.
Here the elder in red opened door, then laughed and laughed. The “Nian” become whey-faced, and finally run away in a flurry.
第二天,当人们从深山回到村子里的时候,发现村子里安然无恙,这才恍然大悟.原来,白发老人是帮助大家驱逐“年”兽的神仙.同时,人们还发现了白发老人驱逐“年”兽的三件法宝.
从此,每年的除夕,家家都贴红对联,燃放爆竹,户户灯火通明,守更待岁.
这风俗越传越广,也就成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日“过年”.
Next day, when the villagers came back to their hometown, they were so surprised the villages stayed in a whole skin without any damaged or messy conditions.
Until now, they understood that that white-headed elder was supernatural master. And he had already helped the villagers drive the “Nian” away from their living hometown.
Moreover, people also found three trumps used for driving “Nian”. That elder left these wonderful trumps for the people here.
On every New Year’s Eve since then, every family will stick on red couplet, fire the crackers, and also keep their houses be bright. People of the whole family will stay together and wait for the New Year coming.
This especial custom spreads wider and wider, and then finally becomes the most ceremonious Chinese traditional festival “Spring Festival”.
