The myth
Do you know the Chinese new year myth?
You know why your neighbours put red paper with Chinese words? It’s because of a myth. So, want to hear it? Once upon a time there’s a monster called nian shou. ( 年兽) He sleeps all year long. But he wakes up on Chinese new year to find food he eats anything he could find. Ducks, chicken and even humans. When he gets to houses he mess around and turn the house inside out. Then one day a man came to the village and knocked on a woman’s door. But, on that very day it was Chinese New year.
What happened next
Solution
The man said give me food and you go, I have a solution. The woman said you better leave too. He said no I will be good. After that, the woman said ok, be safe. The man painted the house red and got bamboos. When nian shou (the mo nster) came he lit up the bamboos in front of the door. Then, nian shou never came anymore. Here is a video. But it’s Chinese, don’t worry I got your back it has English subtitles.
Why is there lion and dragon dance?
If you know I would be impressed
Lion Dance chases evil. They performs it in Chinese festivals or at special occasions. Are you wondering does it have any other use? If you are it also bring good fortune. It is one of the most important traditions at Chinese new year. It’s also suppose to bring prosperity and good luck for the upcoming year. Dragon dance is a symbol of China’s culture. They are supposes to bring bring good luck. The longer they are the more luck they will bring.

Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

A motivating discussion is worth comment. I do believe that you need to publish more on this topic, it might not be a taboo matter but usually people do not speak about such issues. To the next! Best wishes!!
