In ancient times, Nian was a vicious monster, which came out on the final day of each lunar year to destroy crops and injure people. People found that nian was terrified of the red color, flares and big sounds, so they put up red couplets of New Year&rsquo;s wishes on the front door, hung red lanterns and lit firecrackers. In these ways, people remained untroubled by nian and began to describe the annual occasion as \u8fc7\u5e74(gu&ograve;ni&aacute;n), or literally &ldquo;to survive the threat of nian&rdquo;. Nowadays, \u5e74means &ldquo;year&rdquo;. For example: \u660e\u5e74(next year), \u65b0\u5e74(new year).<\/p>\n<p>  During the Spring Festival, people always greet each other with nice and auspicious sayings. The following idioms are popular choices for such greetings.<\/p>\n<p>  [w&agrave;nsh&igrave;r&uacute;y&igrave;] \u4e07\u4e8b\u5982\u610fHope everything goes your way.<br \/>  [su&igrave;su&igrave;p&iacute;ng\u0101n] \u5c81\u5c81\u5e73\u5b89May you be safe and sound all year round.<br \/>  [g\u014dng x\u01d0 f\u0101 c&aacute;i] \u606d\u559c\u53d1\u8d22May prosperity be with you.<br \/>  [sh\u0113ngy&igrave;x\u012bngl&oacute;ng] \u751f\u610f\u5174\u9686Wish your business a great success.<br \/>  [ni&aacute;n ni&aacute;n y\u01d2u y&uacute;] \u5e74\u5e74\u6709\u4f59May you have surplus every year.<br \/>  [y\u012bf\u0101nf\u0113ngsh&ugrave;n] \u4e00\u5e06\u98ce\u987aWish you smooth sailing in the year ahead.<br \/>  [d&agrave;j&iacute;d&agrave;l&igrave;] \u5927\u5409\u5927\u5229Wish you good fortune and every success.<br \/>  [p&eacute;ng ch&eacute;ng w&agrave;n l\u01d0] \u9e4f\u7a0b\u4e07\u91ccMay you have a bright future.<br \/>  [gu&oacute;t&agrave;im&iacute;n\u0101n] \u56fd\u6cf0\u6c11\u5b89May our country flourish and people live in peace.<br type=\"_moz\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-1519237087\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring Festival is traditionally a time for family reunios in China, and millions of Chinese make every attempt to return<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,2853],"tags":[97],"class_list":["post-10601","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chinese-conversation","category-spoken-chinese","tag-dialogue"],"views":393,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10601","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10601"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10601\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
