Once upon a time, there was a monster called "nian", who lived deep in the ocean. One year an old lady told the villagers that Nian was afraid of loud noises and the color red. The villagers stayed up all night, lit firecrackers, lit red lanterns, wore red clothing, danced to loud music, and banged loud gongs and drums. This eventually became a tradition and the way to celebrate Chinese New year.

Once upon a time, there was a monster called Nian.
This beast lived deep in the ocean. It would sleep every day of the year, except on the last day of the Lunar Year, when the cold winter months would turn into Spring.
Nian would come on land to attack, and eat whatever
it could find and whatever lay in its path.
One year an old lady came to the village and told the villagers that Nian was afraid of loud noises and the color red.
The next year, the villagers stayed up all night, lit
firecrackers, lit red lanterns all around their houses, pasted red paper on their walls and doors, wore red clothing, danced to loud music, and banged loud gongs and drums.
That year and every year since, Nian has never
returned. This eventually became a tradition and the way to celebrate Chinese New Year.
