年的传说简介（英文）短一点

Answer 1

According to legend, in ancient China, there was a monster called "Year" with a long tentacles and sharp teeth; it was fierce and fierce."Year" has lived deep under the sea for many years, and climbed ashore every New Year's Eve, consuming food to kill people.Therefore, on the day of New Year's Eve, the people in the villages and villages help the old and flee to the mountains to avoid the "year" damage.

相传，中国古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽，头长触角，尖牙利齿；目露凶光，凶猛异常。“年”长年深居海底，每到除夕才爬上岸，吞食牲畜伤害人命。因此，每到除夕这天，村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼逃往深山，以躲避“年”的伤害。

清代段玉裁『说文解字注』

谷孰也。尔雅曰。夏曰岁。商曰祀。周曰年。唐虞曰载。年者，取禾一孰也。从禾。千声。奴顚切。古音在十二部。春秋传曰。大有年。宣十六年经文。谷梁传曰。五谷皆孰为有年。五谷皆大孰为大有年。

可见，年本义为丰收时节，与怪兽毫不相干。年兽又称年这一说，毫无根据和道理。“过年”，这一中华民族最重要的习俗，从最初的诞生的本意来说就是庆祝、喜悦。而绝不是什么“吃人”、“打怪兽”、“消除恐惧”。关于爆竹习俗，目前可考据的最早明文记载于南北朝梁宗懔《荆楚岁时记》，“正月一日，鸡鸣而起，先于庭前爆竹，以避山臊恶鬼。”。在中国文化传统中，“爆竹”却有事天地鬼神之意。但此处绝无有关驱赶怪兽的记载。不知何时，爆竹被杜撰成了驱赶“年兽”这一怪物的武器。

春联习俗，起源于桃符。《后汉书·礼仪志》所载，桃符长六寸，宽三寸，桃木板上书降鬼大神“神荼”、“郁垒”的名字。“正月一日，造桃符着户，名仙木，百鬼所畏。”。《宋史·蜀世家》载：后蜀主孟昶令学士辛寅逊题桃木板，“以其非工，自命笔题云：‘新年纳余庆，嘉节号长春’，这便是中国的第一副春联。春联的起源也有敬鬼神之意。但跟怪兽也无关。（来源：年兽-百度百科）
