英语春节小故事带翻译短

Answer 1

The Chinese New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the Beginning of Spring (the first of the twenty-four terms in coordination with the changes of Nature).Its origin is too old to be traced.Several explanations are hanging around.All agree,however,that the word Nian,which in modern Chinese solely means "year",was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year (Do not lose track here:we are talking about the new year in terms of the Chinese calendar).
