Dear Mr. Cao
Hello!
This new year, I have read a lot of books about the new year, and the book that impresses me most is Spring Festival.
The author of Spring Festival is an Chengna. A long time ago, there was a monster named "Nian". It had two sharp horns and covered with plum red scales. Bigger than an elephant, fiercer than a tiger. It looks terrible. Every new year's Eve, "Nian" will come to the village to eat people. One year "Nian" came again, and a young man said, "it's better to fight with it than to let it eat!" The young people nearby picked up the weapons on the ground and attacked Nian one after another. Unfortunately, they were not the opponents of Nian, so they were all eaten by Nian.
Since then, "Nian" has become more fierce, so every new year's Eve people will hide in caves. Another year, new year's Eve arrived, just as people were packing up, there was an old man begging. The old man asked people for food, but people were very busy and had no time to pay attention to him. Suddenly, an old woman gave him some food and advised him to go up the mountain to hide. But he did not hurry to eat the food his wife gave him. The old woman advised him to run for his life, but he said, "I have a way to get rid of Nian. She thought he was talking crazy, so I had to leave him. In the middle of the night, Nian broke into the village. She found a big red paper on her door, lit a candle in the room, and burned a torch in the yard. "Year" carefully came to the door, and suddenly came the "crackling" sound in the courtyard. Then an old man in red came out laughing. "Nian" was so scared that he ran out of the village. The original "year" most afraid of red, fire and explosion sound!
The next day, the people who took refuge were very surprised to see that the village was safe and sound! The old woman suddenly realized that the villagers talked about the old man's promise. People flocked to their wives' and in laws' house. They saw red paper pasted in front of the door, and a pile of unburned bamboo in the courtyard was still "popping" and several red candles in the room were still flashing. In fact, the old man is to help people mirror out "Nian" immortals.
Since then, every new year's Eve, every family pastes couplets to set off firecrackers, and every household has bright lights to keep the new year. People call this traditional festival the Spring Festival.
After reading this book, I realized that the old beggar turned out to be a fairy. I was so moved that the "year" was formed in this way. Now we also call it "Spring Festival". I think this book is very popular. I have learned a lot from it. I really want more foreigners to know and understand the true meaning of the traditional Chinese festival "Spring Festival". thank you!

The work went well
