The Chinese New Year is now known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the beginning of spring. Though there are some sayings about its origin(起源), all agree that the word Nian is a name of a beast. The beast started to eat people at night before the beginning of a new year. It had a very big mouth that could take in(吞入) a lot of people at one time. People were very frightened. One day, an old man came to help and said he would stop this. Then the old man came to Nian and said，“I hear that you are very strong, so can you eat up all the beasts instead of people who are too weak to be your enemies？” “Yes，” Nian agreed with him and killed many other beasts on the earth. People were very happy because those beasts also did bad things to them and killed farm animals.
In fact, the old man was a god, and he rode on the beast Nian and left. Nian was gone, and other beasts also went into forests. People began to enjoy their happy lives. Before the old man left，he told people to put up red paper on their windows and doors at each year's end to drive(驱赶) Nian away, because Nian was afraid of the colour red.
From then on, every year at the beginning of spring, people “Guo Nian”. The word “Guo Nian” means “Go through the Nian safely”. People also make dumplings for a better new year. However, people today have forgotten why they are doing this, and they just think the colour and the food make the New Year very happy.
