Before Chinese Lunar New Year, people usually paste lucky phrases alongside the door on red paper and set out firecrackers to welcome the coming New Year. Have you ever wondered why? These customs are related to a monster called Nian, who lives in the deep, deep sea. Nian always leaves his home to make trouble on the last day of the year. What does Nian look like? Why do people paste the phrases by the door and set out firecrackers? Grab your blanket, lay your head on your pillow, and enjoy the story of Nian. Sweet dreams!

每年農曆新年前，人們會在門上貼紅色的春聯，並在門口放鞭炮，迎接新的一年的到來。然而，這些習俗這都是因為從前有個住在海裡的怪獸「年」。年獸總會在一年的最後一天從海裡出來傷害人類。年獸長得什麼樣呢？為什麼要貼春聯和放鞭炮呢？拿起你的小毯子，躺在鬆軟軟的枕頭上，讓我們一起來聽聽年獸的故事吧～祝大家好夢！
