Tradition New Year celebrations in China dates back several thousand years back. About how it began, says one of the many legends. Long ago, in the mountains lived a terrible, savage monster who tormented people. Beast called Nian. She was a tiger's head and body larger than an elephant. Nian was so strong that one of his zawycie enough to move mountains. Every day, he ate 100 wild animals. In winter, when he lacked food, descended from the mountains and attacked the village. Devouring everything that stood in his way, including humans. 
Once arrived in the village An elderly man who offered to help residents get rid of the monster. Without hesitation, he went to look for the beast and asked her a question: I hear you're very talented, but if you can not devour other beasts and not men who are not worthy of your opponents?. Raised honor the monster began to devour other beasts prowling in the mountains and forests that have harmed people and their pets. When he finished his work Nian older man who turned out to be an immortal god, mounted the beast and flew toward the sky. God has left another clue villagers. It turned out that the Nian and other beasts are afraid of three things: a red color, brightness of light and noise.
When winter came, and another time when the Nian and other beasts usually attacked the village, all the families gathered in their homes, caught fire and started seeing the light. They did a lot of noise at the same time to scare off the beast. Door frames were hung with red papers, which were signs of happiness. The next morning, villagers from their homes and powychodzili congratulated themselves another victory over the beasts, which did not dare their attack. Everywhere one could hear cries of Guo Nian, which meant a great joy to preserve life. Today also is the most common cry heard during the celebration of New Year.
Since then, every year is celebrated to commemorate the victory of the then and the tradition of red ornaments hanging on the door has survived to this day. Chunli (for so they are called) are hung everywhere. Another mandatory element of the New Year celebrations are the firecrackers. They are fired virtually anywhere, causing an incredible noise.
