The Chinese New Year Essay
Chinese New Year is the most widely celebrated tradition in Asia. The tradition is usually celebrated on the first day of the first month on the Chinese Lunar calendar. This tradition is rooted in centuries old customs and is one of the most popular public holidays in China. Apart from China, this tradition is also celebrated in many Asian countries like Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, and Japan. There are many values and rituals tied with this tradition. For example, people would wear red clothing, decorate the house with red paper, and give children lucky money in red envelopes. According to legend, it is said that red can drive away bad luck, which is why the color red is highly emphasized. In myths, our ancestors would...show more content...According a popular myth, the origin of this day lies in the fight against Nian, a beast in Chinese mythology. The beast would visit cities and eat cattle, crops, and even people. In order for families to protect themselves from the beast, they would place food at their doorsteps so that the beast would not harm them. One day during a family dinner, the family noticed how the beast was startled by seeing the color red. Word of this spread to other friends and family. Soon, from then on, on the first day of every New Year, people would hang red paper lanterns and other red objects to scare off the beast. They would also light bamboo stalks in order to scare the beast away. After some time, the beast stop coming to the city all together. However, by this time relatives and family had already adopted the habit of getting together to protect each other from the beast.

The Chinese have been celebrating the New Year for
5,000 years. The New Year traditions have included setting
off thousands of firecrackers and painting parts of houses
bright red. Also, grown-ups have traditionally given red
envelopes of money to children and unmarried adults for good
luck. Families feast on dumplings, chicken, and fish, and
watch the dragon and lion dances. In some cities in America,
the dances have evolved into parades of dancing dragons
and lions surrounded by colorful flags, banners, lanterns and
drums to drive away the evil spirits. Have you ever seen a
dragon parade? Over the years, I have seen several over the
years in Chinatown.

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.
