The Origin of Chinese New Year
The Chinese New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the Begining of Spring (the first of the twenty-four terms in coodination with the changes of Nature).Its origin is too old to be traced.Several explanations are hanging around.All agree,however,that the word Nian,which in modern Chinese solely means year,was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.
