Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year is believed to date back to 14th century BC c.when the Shang dynasty ruled.
Its origins are steeped in legend. One story says that a monster called Nian (“Year”) would attack the village populations at the beginning of each year.
Nian was afraid of loud noises, bright lights, and the color red. People used these things to drive away the beast.
Since the dragon is a Chinese symbol of power and good fortune, Dragon dances are performed in many regions of Chinaduring which a long, colorful dragon puppet is paraded through the streets, as the culminating event of the festivities.
The New Year is also the time when people clean their homes thoroughly to get rid of any bad luck left over from the previous year. (YO)
