　　According to the legend, there was a man-eating wild monster called "Nian" with an extremely large mouth, capable of swallowing several people in a single bite. This beast appeared in a country village towards the end of winter . When there was nothing to eat, it would visit the villages and attack and eat whatever it could find. The villagers would live in terror over the winter.
　　The next year it returned and the same thing happened. The monster seemed too strong to be defeated. So all the villagers would take their old and young deep into the mountains to hide from Nian.
　　One day, a wise old man passed through the village and told an old woman, "I will teach you how to scare Nian away!"
　　That evening when Nian arrived at the village, he saw that all the houses were dark except the house in which an old woman lived. Nian approached the house, licking his lips in anticipation. Suddenly, the deafening noise of firecrackers sounded endlessly.
　　The monster was startled and jumped. Suddenly he realized that the house was covered in red paper. This scared him even more and it ran off into the mountains. When the villagers returned they saw that the old woman was unharmed! People later learned that "Nian" was afraid of loud noises and the color red.The villagers came together and agreed that when it was time for Nian's annual visit towards the end of winter they would start a fire in front of every door and not go to sleep but rather make noise.
　　The following year, the villagers were ready for it. They set off firecrackers, lit all their lamps and decorated their houses in red. They pasted red paper on the doors, wore red clothing, hung up red lanterns. They made loud music, played the gong and drums and they danced and burned the fireworks whenever Nian was about to arrive, to scare away the beast.
　　Nian had not come down the mountain to cause any trouble thereafter.
　　This eventually becomes a tradition of China and leads to the celebration for another year of safe life. Chinese people celebrate in remembrance of this legend and still continues till today!
　　据传，有一个食人野兽叫“年”，有一张能一口吃掉好几个人的血盆大口。这个怪物在山上找不到吃的的时候，就会下山到附近村庄，攻击和吃掉所有能吃的动物，包括人。村民们整个冬天都在恐惧中度过。
　　来年冬天，怪兽如期而至，同样的悲剧再次发生，怪兽之强壮非常人能够击倒，所以所有村民都携带全家老小到深山躲藏，以避免成为“年”的食物。
　　有一天，一个充满智慧的老人经过村庄，告诉一个老妇人：“我叫你怎么把年吓跑”。
　　当天晚上，当年踏进村子时，它见村里所有的屋子没有灯光，除了那个老夫人家亮着灯。年靠房子，舔着嘴唇，期待着自己的晚餐。突然，震耳欲聋的鞭炮声在耳边响个不停。
　　“年”被鞭炮声吓得跳起来，突然发现那个房子外面贴着红纸，这个把怪兽吓得落荒而逃，村民回到村庄发现老妇人毫发无伤。后来，村民知道了这个叫“年”的怪兽害怕噪声和红色，于是村里的村名都赞同，在“年”下一次“光顾”村庄的时候，家家户户都在门前点起火，守岁然后制造“动静”。
　　第二年，村名们都做足了准备，他们准备好了鞭炮，点燃了所有的灯，把房子装饰橙红色，在门上贴红纸，穿红色的衣服，手里拎着红灯笼。她们敲锣打鼓大声弹唱，跳舞，走到哪里鞭炮就点到哪里。
　　年从此以后再没敢到这个村里惹麻烦了。
　　这就成了中国的一个传统，庆祝一年的平安，中国人以此传说庆祝新年，直到今天。 本回答被网友采纳

In ancient times, there was a monster that lived deep on the sea floor for many years and crawled ashore every New Year's Eve to devour livestock and kill people. People called it Nian. On New Year's Eve, people, old and young, fled to remote mountains to avoid Nian.
It was the New Year's Eve of another year, and all the villagers were busy packing up their things and preparing to flee to the remote mountains. At that time, a white-haired old man in the village said to an old woman that if he stayed in her house for one night, he would surely drive away the Nian beast. The people did not believe it. 

The old woman advised him to go up the mountain to escape, but the old man insisted on staying. When they saw that they could not persuade him, they all went up the mountain to escape.
When the Nian beast was about to break into the village and wreak havoc as usual, suddenly there was a sound of firecrackers. The Nian beast shivered and dared not move forward any more. The original " Nian" beast is most afraid of red, fire and exploding.

The next day, when people returned to the village from the remote mountains, they found that the village was safe and sound. It suddenly dawned on them that the white-haired old man was the fairy who helped everyone expel the Nian beast.

古时候有一种长年深居海底，每到除夕，爬 上岸来吞食牲畜伤害人命的怪兽，人们称为“年”。到除夕，人们扶老携幼，逃往深山，躲避“年”。

又到了一年的除夕，乡亲们都忙着收拾东西准备逃往深山。这时候村一个白发老人，白发老人对一户老婆婆说只要让他在她家住一晚，他定能将“年”兽驱赶走。众人不信，老婆婆劝其还是上山躲避的好，但老人坚持留下，众人见劝他不住，便纷纷上山躲避去了。 

当“年”兽像往年一样准备闯进村肆虐的时候，突然传来爆竹声。“年”兽浑身颤栗，再也不敢向前凑了。原来“年”兽最怕红色，火光和炸响。

第二天，当人们从深山回到村里时，发现村里竟安然无恙，这才恍然大悟，原来白发老人是帮助大家驱逐“年”兽的神仙。

是村民，不是村名。

关于年的传说英文：

Once upon a time, there was a monster called "Xi", which came out every
year to hurt people. Even the Kitchen King who protected the people
could not do anything with it.
So the Kitchen King invited a prodigy named "Nian" to the heavens.

The
prodigy had high mana power and destroyed the Evening Beast with red
silk and bamboo poles which were burned in the fire.
This day is the last day of December. In order to thank and commemorate
the last day of the year, the people call the last day of the lunar
calendar "New Year's Eve" and the first day of the New Year "New Year's
Eve".

People hope that their families have red silk and firecrackers in their
hands. So the red silk and bamboo poles burned in the fire gradually
evolve into red couplets and red whips that every family has during the
New Year. Gun, this legend about the year can be said to be clear and
orderly.

关于年的传说中文：

从前，有一个叫“夕”的怪物，每年都会出来伤害人。即使是保护人民的厨房国王也不能用它做任何事。于是厨房里的国王邀请了一位名叫“年”的神童上天。神童有很高的法力，用被火烧过的红丝绸和竹竿消灭了夜兽。

这是十二月的最后一天。为了感谢和纪念一年中的最后一天，人们把农历的最后一天叫做“除夕”，把新年的第一天叫做“除夕”。人们希望家里有红丝绸和鞭炮。因此，在火堆中燃烧的红丝竹竿逐渐演变成了每年家家户户都有的红对联和红鞭炮。这个关于年的传说可说条理清晰、有章可循。
