chinese new year story "nian"

[@shawnhow4163]

This is the legend I've heard since young. CNY is very important for us Chinese, it's a time of reunion, joy, celebrations and unity

[@Sese_.]

I used to love this story and I still love it now! I ALWAYS imagined what it looked like when I was young

[@alejandro.hector]

I loved this story I would watch it every single day at home even after Chinese new year!

[@anotherasian530]

I remember watching this at school long ago and thinking the Nian was the coolest thing ever.

I was introduced to this video in my Mandarin Language class back when I was 8. It used to scare me due the imagery of Nianshou, but now I find I share a similar trait to the monster: a crippling fear of sudden loud noises.

[@DinoHunterrx2721]

The nian is afraid of the color red The nian: * realize it's eyes are red* Doctor: Why do you want to change your eye color? The nian: don't ask

[@alistairsanchogarcia115]

If Nian eats people then his actually eating their red blood as well

[@colinpkk3647]

Nian was shocked by all the colours and noises everywhere he went

i also celebrate veitnamese new year its the same thing as chinese new year but diffrent culture but its exactly the same

[@MrRagathi]

That's a brilliant animation. Thanks very much.

[@rama5titan928]

I just commented this in 2018 xD. This is very entertaining :0. This is why i love China, amazing song in the Lunar/Chinese new year, the Barongsai (or uhh... the.. lion thing not Nian). I LIKED THIS VERY MUCH....

[@reveonma]

I used to want to have nian as a pet i thought he was badass

[@liuge1993]

it's only a legend and is considered as the original reason for people to celebrate the Chinese new year, in Chinese, the new year is "guo nian", which can be directly translated as "pass the nian", this means if you can survive from the "nian",it worth celebrating. I've checked the history book, it is said that the Chinese new year is closely connected to the lunar month, solar system in ancient China and is originated from the ritual activities about 5000 years ago, Shang dynasty. At that time, people believe the new year means something to the agriculture, and as far as I am concerned ,since the new year is usually the most freezing time of the year, due to the cold weather and the lack of food, people wish to pass the nian and wait for the spring

Thats why the protefted themselves by wearing red and painting their houses red then use loud gongs and firecrackers to scare the monster away. What does it teaches you? Courage and prosperity plus be happy :)

[@colinpkk3647]

And he run back to the mountains and never dared to come out again

[@jutimehmadin7593]

I actually have a lion dance and I'm from Malaysia and I still see nian outside in night so I hide in my home I cannot go outside because of nian and Satan so in sun nian lion still outside but I use my lion dance to scare them up

Not so long later Nian appeared at the village

[@rochelimit55555]

I like the nian, cool!

[@umbrellashotgunman]

It's what's more familiar to the people who made this and their audience; it's the same reason why you see Baroque paintings of Roman soldiers looking a lot like Spanish conquistadors.

[@birdlover_78282yay]

TODAY is Chinese New Year!!!

[@christamaeluma403]

It think they named their year cake in Nian because it was called Nian gao

[@StephenWebb1980]

Is the nian cat really a demon in disguise?!

[@eunicetan6175]

No

[@colinpkk3647]

So everyone began preparing and all the houses were painted bright red

[@ItsAA_Plays]

Did nian actually sent to edge of world. And also the red thing was a very accurate guess

Thousands of years ago in the mountains lived a demon called Nian

[@snowy4957]
