I know many peolpe konw we have especial Chinies New Year. In China, we have another different calender and it is slower than the calender which we are using. Now, i am going to tell you a story about why we celebrat it. How do we celebrat and why we do it. You will know from the story.:)     Long time ago, there is a horrible gryphon which is called Nian. He lives in the deep of sea. every year's one day, he crawl to land from the sea and eat people. That day is called New Year's eve. So, this day people run away to hide in hill. One of New year's eve, a old begger come to countey but everybody is buzy to run away, nobody ignore him. Only a old women give him some food and tell him to run away. The old begger smail and say:'' if you let me stay at your home one night, i will help you to drive the gryphon." but the old women still say:'' run away.'' the old begger smail and say nothing.     In the midnight, the gryphon rush to country. he find this country is different than before. The old women's front gate and window stick red paper; in the house is very bright and burning with candle. The gryphon is odd yell and he shiver with his body.When he almost get door, some detonation pass from yard. The gryphon shiver again and he frighten. So that is what,the gryphon is afraid of red, flare and detonation. At that time,the old women's door was opened, a old man who wears a long red robe is smailing to look at him, then the gryphon runs away with afraid.  After New Year's eve is first day of new year, people who run away is come back to their country, they look at their country as the same before,they are supprised. The old women tell them all of things about last night. So people know the way to drive the gryphon. So every New Year eve, people stick couplet next door. Couplet is a red paper that was writen lucky worlds. People also light firework and turn on bright light. After New Year's eve, people will visit friends or go to parents home. haha, this is a story about Chines New Year.:)
