\u5e74(nián), which in modern Chinese solely means “year”, was originally the name of a mo<\/em>nster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a Lunar new year. The Chinese phrase \u8fc7\u5e74(guò nián), literally meaning "the passing of the beast", therefore refers to "celebrating the Chinese New Year".<\/p>\n

\u6625\u8fd0(ch\u016bn yùn) is the combination of \u6625(Spring, short for “Spring Festival”) and \u8fd0(transportation). It refers to the Spring Festival travel season, a period around the Chinese New Year that has an extremely high traffic load. It is sometimes called the world’s largest human migration. It usually begins 15 days before the Lunar New Year’s Day and lasts for around 40 days.<\/p>\n

\u795e\u5668(shén qì) is a buzzword that is commo<\/em>nly used among young people. \u795e means "supernatural; magical", and \u5668 is "implement; utensil; organ; ware". Here it means a kind of application available on the Internet to help people purchase a ticket in a more efficient way. "\u706b", generally meaning "fire", has different meanings in different circumstances. For instance, "\u53d1\u706b"(lose one’s temper), "\u751f\u610f\u7ea2\u706b"(The business is brisk), and here it is used to describe the popularity of the application.
