What does the holiday mean?
这个节日有什么含义吗?
The term pass year is used for the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year). The word Year in Chinese characters used to mean a horrible beast. To combat the beast, the Chinese hang good luck wishes on red paper on the door and use fireworks in the belief that the beast fears red and fire. This tradition in many ways resemble the Western belief of using garlic and crosses to fight vampires.
中文中过年这个词组用以表示对春节(中国新年)的庆祝。年这个字在中文里是一种恐怖的怪兽。因为年害怕红色和火,所以中国人会在门上悬挂春联写上美好祝福,并放鞭炮来赶跑它。这个传统有点类似西方人用大蒜和十字架吓跑吸血鬼的传统。
Why New Year is so special?
为什么新年那么特别呢?
The Chinese zodiac features 12 animals in the sequence of Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. This year is the year of Snake. Each animal represents a different personality. According to legend, people held a conference with all the animals, informing them that they would pick the 12 to represent the zodiac. However, in spite of being fast, the cat was not picked as its then-close friend, the rat, did not wake it. This action sparked off a rivalry that continues till this day.
