There are many stories about the start of Nian. It is said that Nian was a fierce(凶猛的) monster. Usually it stayed deep in the mountains. But in winter, it couldn't find enough food. So it entered villages to eat whatever it could catch. Villagers became frightened and moved away. Later the people found that Nian was afraid of three things—the red colour, the bright fire and the loud noise. After learning this, they thought of how to prevent Nian from entering their villages. Thus, a tradition was established(形成). People had couplets(对联), lanterns and fireworks(烟花) for the Spring Festival.
Now most people in the countryside still keep these traditional celebrations. However, the people in cities have used new ways to celebrate the Spring Festival. For example, they don't send out so many greeting cards as before. Instead they usually send short text messages to greet friends on mobile phones. And for safety, fireworks were not allowed in some large cities a few years ago, making the cities much quieter than before. It seems that all Chinese traditions are facing new challenges. Maybe when the children of the next generation grow up, they can only learn about Chinese traditions from books.
