Once upon a time, there was a monster called "Xi", which came out every year to hurt people. Even the Kitchen King who protected the people could not do anything with it.
So the Kitchen King invited a prodigy named "Nian" to the heavens. The prodigy had high mana power and destroyed the Evening Beast with red silk and bamboo poles which were burned in the fire.
This day is the last day of December. In order to thank and commemorate the last day of the year, the people call the last day of the lunar calendar "New Year"s Eve" and the first day of the New Year "New Year"s Eve".
People hope that their families have red silk and firecrackers in their hands. So the red silk and bamboo poles burned in the fire gradually evolve into red couplets and red whips that every family has during the New Year. Gun

翻譯：很久以前，有種怪獸叫“夕”，它在每年的年關都要出來傷人，連保護老百姓的灶王爺也拿它沒辦法，於是灶王爺上天請來了一位叫做“年”的神童，神童法力高強，用紅綢和放在火中燒得劈啪作響的竹竿消滅了夕獸。
這一天正好是臘月的最後一天，老百姓為了感謝和紀念年在這一天除掉了夕，就把農曆每年的最後一天叫“除夕”，把新年的第一天叫做過年，百姓希望家家都有年手中的紅綢和鞭炮，於是紅綢和放在火中燒的竹竿逐漸演變成了家家戶戶過年時都有的紅對聯、紅鞭炮。
