History of Spring Festival
The Spring Festival,also known as the Lunar New Year,is the most important traditional festival in China,which falls on in late January or early February.
The historical reason for beginning the new year in such a time is that it is the time between autumn harvest and spring plowing and planning.In another words,it is the time for rest,relaxation and celebration after a year’s toil.Except this practical reason for celebrating the Spring Festival,a popular Chinese legend offers another explanation,which is affectedly known in China.In ancient time,a mythological demon called” Nian” that lived under the sea would plague people once a year on the even of the new year.It jumped out from the sea,attacked villages,devouring people,animals and plants.Could no longer bear Nian’s brutal persecution,the villagers gathered to discuss how to deal with” Nian” and some people suggested that the demon was afraid of loud noises,red color and flame.So people lighted firecrackers,put on red couplets on their gates,lit firework and beat gongs and drums to drive Nian away.The idea worked and Nian ran away.Since ever,the custom and tradition of celebrating the Spring Festival born and the practice of putting red couplets on gates,setting off firecrackers,etc have been passed down.

Mother Pig sends her three little piglets out into the world to live on their own.
The first little pig builds a house of straw, but a wolf blows it down and eats the pig. The encounter between wolf and pig features ringing proverbial phrases:
One day the big bad wolf came and knocked on the first little pig's door and said, "Little pig, little pig, let me come in." And the little pig answered, "No, no, I won't let you come in, not by the hair on my chinny chin chin." "Well," said the wolf, "then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in." So he huffed and he puffed and he blew the house down and ate the little pig.
The second pig builds a house of sticks, has the same conversation with the wolf, and meets the same fate.
The third pig builds a house of brick. The wolf cannot huff and puff hard enough to blow the house down. He attempts to trick the third little pig out of his house, but the pig outsmarts him at every turn. Finally, the wolf threatens to come down the chimney, whereupon the third little pig boils a pot of water into which the wolf plunges. The little pig cooks the wolf and eats him
