Happy Chinese New Year!
Why do people put up red decorations on New Year? The story dates back to thousands of years ago…A monster named Nián comes to harass the villagers once a year. Later, people found that Nian would be afraid when it sees red color. Since then, people prepare red decorations on this day to drive away from the monster.
