　　除夕是春节的前夜,又叫年三十.有一种传说:是古时候有个凶恶的怪兽叫夕,每到岁末便出来害人,后来,人们知道夕最怕红色和声响,于是年三十晚上,家家户户贴红春联,燃放爆竹,来驱除夕兽.以求新的一年安宁.这种习俗从此流传下来,年三十晚上便称为除夕了.

　　除夕

　　年三十,也就是"除夕".这天,是人们吃、喝、玩、乐的日子.北方人包饺子,南方人做年糕.水饺形似"元宝",年糕音似"年高",都是吉祥如意的好兆头.

　　除夕之夜,全家人在一起吃"团年饭",有一家人团聚过年的味道.吃团年饭时,桌上的"鱼"是不能动的,因为这鱼代表"富裕"和"年年有余",象征来年的"财富与幸运",它属于一种装饰,是碰不得的.

　　关于年的由来,还有一个传说.相传在远古时候,我们的祖先曾遭受一种最凶猛的野兽的威胁.这种猛兽叫"年",它捕百兽为食,到了冬天,山中食物缺乏时,还会闯入村庄,猎食人和牲畜,百姓惶惶不可终日.人和"年"斗争了很多年,人们发现,年怕三种东西,红颜色、火光、响声.于是在冬天人们在自家门上挂上红颜色的桃木板,门口烧火堆,夜里通宵不睡,敲敲打打.这天夜里,"年"闯进村庄,见到家家有红色和火光,听见震天的响声,吓得跑回深山,再也不敢出来.夜过去了,人们互相祝贺道喜,大家张灯结彩,饮酒摆宴,庆祝胜利.

　　为了纪念这次胜利,以后每到冬天的这个时间,家家户户都贴红纸对联在门上,电灯笼,敲锣打鼓,燃放鞭炮烟花；夜里,通宵守夜；第二天,大清早互相祝贺道喜.这样一代一代流传下来,就成了"过年".
