Chinese community of participating in the International Festival
exhibition. The purpose for ICCCI to join this multi-culture event

Chinese School to the community. In this past International
Festival held on November 3-6, 2005 at Exposition Hall of
Indiana State Fairgrounds, ICCCI organized two booths – culture
booth and Chinese food booth. We had a very successful culture

新年典故 - 年的来源
现代民间习惯把过春节又叫做过年。其实，年和春节的起源是很不
相同的。
相传，中国古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽，长年深居海底，每到除夕才
爬上岸吞食牲畜伤害人命。因此，每到除夕这天，村里的人都逃往
深山，以躲避“年”兽的伤害。
这年除夕，正当村民们上山避难时，村外来了个白发老人。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
半夜时分，当“年”兽闯进村准备肆虐的时候，发现老婆婆家门贴大红纸，屋内独火
通明，突然院内还传来“砰砰啪啪”的炸响声，“年”浑身战栗，再不敢向前走了。
原来，“年”最怕红色、火光和炸响。这时，婆婆的家门大开，只见院内一位身披红
袍的老人在哈哈大笑。“年”大惊失色，狼狈逃蹿了。
第二天是正月初一，避难回来的村人们见村里安然无恙，这才恍然大悟，原来白发
老人是帮助大家驱逐“年”兽的神仙。
欣喜若狂的村人们为庆贺右祥的来临，纷纷换新衣戴新帽，到亲友家道喜问好。这
件事很快在周围村里传开了，人们都知道了驱赶“年”兽的办法。
从此每年除夕，家家贴红对联、燃放爆竹；户户烛火通明、守更待岁。初一一大
早，还要走亲串友道喜问好。这风俗越传越广，成了中国最隆重的传统节日。
