The Spring Couplet is composed of two antithetical sentences on both sides of the door and a horizontal scroll bearing an inscription, usually an auspicious phrase, above the gate. The sentence pasted on the right side of the door is called the first line of the couplet and the one on the left the second line. On the Spring Festival's, every household will paste the couplets on doors written on red paper to give a happy and prosperous atmosphere of the Spring Festival. In the past, the Chinese usually wrote their own spring couplet with a brush or asked others to do for them, while nowadays, it is common for people to buy the printed spring couplet in the market. 译文： “春联”也被称为和“对联”对立的一对短语，在中国是一种特殊的文学形式。春联是由贴在门口两侧两组对立的句子组成，在门上面的横批通常是一个吉祥的短语。贴在门右侧的句子被称作对联的上联，左侧的为下联。除夕那天，每家都会在门上贴上红纸写的春联，传递出节日喜庆和热闹的气氛。在过去，中国人通常用毛笔自己写春联或者请别人来书写春联，而现在，人们普遍在市场上买印刷好的春联。 Spring Festival is a traditional festival in China and some Asian nations. Because legend has it that the beast is afraid of red, afraid of fire and afraid of sound, so people will have couplets, firecrackers, gongs and drums and other customs. Different periods, different regions, different ethnic customs are not the same. 译文： 春节是中国及一些亚洲民族一个古老的传统节日。因为相传年兽怕红色，怕火光和怕响声，所以人们便有贴春联、放鞭炮、敲锣打鼓等习俗。 不同时期、不同地区、不同民族的习俗都不相同。 The Origin of Chinese New Year the Chinese New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the Begining of Spring (the first of the twenty-four terms in coodination with the changes of Nature). Its origin is too old to be traced. Several explanations are hanging around. All aGREe, however, that the word Nian, which in modern Chinese solely means "year", was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year. One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a GREat many people with one bite. People were very scared. One day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to subdue Nian. To Nian he said, "I hear say that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents?" So, it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harrassed people and their domestic animals from time to time. After that, the old man disappeared riding the beast Nian. He turned out to be an immortal god. Now that Nian is gone and other beasts of prey are also scared into forests, people begin to enjoy their peaceful life. Before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each year's end to scare away Nian in case it sneaked back again, because red is the color the beast feared the most. From then on, the tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on from generation to generation. The term "Guo Nian", which may mean "Survive the Nian" becomes today "Celebrate the (New) Year" as the word "guo" in Chinese having both the meaning of "pass-over" and "observe". The custom of putting up red paper and firing fire-crackers to scare away Nian should it have a chance to run loose is still around. However, people today have long forgotten why they are doing all this, except that they feel the color and the sound add to the excitement of the celebration. 译文： 中国春节的由来 春节源自何时很难考究，不过一般认为起源于中国殷商时期的年头岁末祭神、祭祖活动(腊祭);传说最早在尧舜时就有过春节的`风俗。农历的正月是一年的开始，而正月上旬或中旬，大部分情况正好是春季的开始(少部分情况立春是在农历腊月下旬)。节日的时间相信和农业劳作影响有关;甲骨文和金文中的年字都有谷穗成熟的形象。 “年”的甲骨文写法为上面部分为“禾”字，下面部分为“人”字。金文的“年”字也与甲骨文相同也从禾、从人。小篆的“年”写作“上禾下千”，《说文解字·禾部》;“年”字下面的“人”字又作何解释呢?从甲骨文看，“年”字好像是人头上顶着谷物。 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/c21ee19dd7d8d15abe23482fb4daa58da0111c68.html
