12. According to legend, the tradition of the Chinese New Year
began long ago with a fight against a man-eating beast called
the Nian. It had been devouring villagers all over China. The
villagers had asked for the help of a great lion spirit, which
came and attacked the Nian, driving it away. The following
year, the lion spirit was protecting the Emperor's palace, so
the Nian attacked the people again just as it had been doing
for centuries. To defend themselves, the people used
bamboo and cloth to make huge, brightly colored statues of
lions and dragons to scare the Nian away. The people carried
the statues and danced around the villages with them. This
was the first dragon parade.
