Long, long ago, every Lunar New Year, a "Nian" beast would emerge from the deep mountains to devour the villagers and their livestock. However, the villagers eventually discovered that the beast was afraid of the color red and loud noises; consequently, every year they would put up Spring Festival couplets, hang red lanterns, and set off firecrackers.
中秋节的传奇故事是什么？
很久以前，天上有了十个太阳，大地非常热。一个叫后羿的英雄用弓箭射下了九个太阳，拯救了人类。王母娘娘奖励给后羿一种成仙的药，吃下它就可以飞上天。后羿把药交给他的妻子嫦娥保管。一个坏人想偷这个药。为了不让坏人得逞，嫦娥自己吃下了仙药。然后，她就飞到了月亮上。后羿非常想念妻子，就在每年的这一天，在花园里摆上嫦娥爱吃的水果和糕点。后来，这就变成了中秋节吃月饼、赏月的习俗。
Long ago, ten suns appeared in the sky, making the earth scorching hot. A hero named Hou Yi shot down nine of the suns with his bow and arrows, saving humanity. The Queen Mother of the West rewarded Hou Yi with an elixir of immortality; consuming it would allow one to ascend to the heavens. Hou Yi entrusted the elixir to his wife, Chang'e, for safekeeping. A villain attempted to steal the elixir, so to prevent him from succeeding, Chang'e consumed it herself. She then floated up to the moon. Hou Yi missed his wife dearly, so on this day each year, he would place the fruits and pastries she loved in the garden. Over time, this evolved into the Mid-Autumn Festival customs of eating mooncakes and admiring the moon.

Long ago, there lived a patriotic poet named Qu Yuan. He loved his country deeply, but it was eventually conquered by the enemy. Overcome with grief, Qu Yuan threw himself into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. The people were heartbroken and rowed their boats out onto the river to search for him; this is the origin of today's dragon boat races. To prevent the fish and shrimp in the river from devouring Qu Yuan's body, people wrapped rice in leaves and tossed it into the water to feed them. This is the origin of the *zongzi* (sticky rice dumplings) eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival today.

Long ago, a nobleman was starving while fleeing into exile. To save him, his retainer Jie Zitui cut a piece of flesh from his own leg and boiled it into a soup for the nobleman to eat. Later, the nobleman became a king (Duke Wen of Jin). He rewarded many people but forgot about Jie Zitui. Jie Zitui, having no desire for fame or fortune, carried his mother on his back and went to live in seclusion deep in the mountains. The king eventually remembered Jie Zitui and felt deep regret; he went to the mountains to find him, but Jie Zitui refused to come out. Someone suggested a terrible idea: setting the mountain on fire to force him out. The fire raged for three days, yet Jie Zitui and his mother refused to leave; in the end, they perished in the flames, locked in each other's embrace. Overcome with grief, the king decreed that this day be commemorated as the "Cold Food Festival" (a time when no fires could be lit for cooking, and people ate only cold food).
