過年為啥放鞭炮?
![小年到十五的春節習俗 中英雙語]()
關於過年還有個傳說，中國的新年跟打怪有關。「年」其實是神話中的一種怪獸，會在新年的第一天來吃小孩子、牲口和糧食。為了保護大家不受傷害，村民們將食物放在門口供「年」享用。因為「年」懼怕紅色和炮竹，過年大家便會掛紅燈籠，放鞭炮。
legend holds that the chinese new year began with a battle against a mythical beast called the nian,who would come on the first day of the new year to eat children,livestock,and crops.in order to protect themselves from the nian,villages put food in front of their doors believing that the creature would eat that and leave everything else alone.it was believed that the nian was afraid of the colour red and firecrackers,so people would hang red lanterns outside and set off firecrackers
