Chinese New Year is so old, no one knows when people started celebrating it in the same way they do now. Traditional stories say that Chinese New Year was born out of fear and myth. Legend told of a wild beast called Nien that appeared at the end of each year, attacking and killing villagers. Loud noises and bright lights were used to scare away the beast, and thus, the celebrations were born.
