清代段玉裁『說文解字注』
谷孰也。爾雅曰。夏曰歲。商曰祀。周曰年。唐虞曰載。年者，取禾一孰也。從禾。千聲。奴顚切。古音在十二部。春秋傳曰。大有年。宣十六年經文。穀梁傳曰。五穀皆孰為有年。五穀皆大孰為大有年。
可見，年本義為豐收時節，與怪獸毫不相干。年獸又稱年這一說，毫無根據和道理。「過年」，這一中華民族最重要的習俗，從最初的誕生的本意來說就是慶祝、喜悅。而絕不是什麼「吃人」、「打怪獸」、「消除恐懼」。關於爆竹習俗，目前可考據的最早明文記載於南北朝梁宗懍《荊楚歲時記》，「正月一日，雞鳴而起，先於庭前爆竹，以避山臊惡鬼。」。在中國文化傳統中，「爆竹」卻有事天地鬼神之意。但此處絕無有關驅趕怪獸的記載。不知何時，爆竹被杜撰成了驅趕「年獸」這一怪物的武器。
春聯習俗，起源於桃符。《後漢書·禮儀志》所載，桃符長六寸，寬三寸，桃木板上書降鬼大神「神荼」、「郁壘」的名字。「正月一日，造桃符著戶，名仙木，百鬼所畏。」。《宋史·蜀世家》載：後蜀主孟昶令學士辛寅遜題桃木板，「以其非工，自命筆題雲：『新年納余慶，嘉節號長春』，這便是中國的第一副春聯。春聯的起源也有敬鬼神之意。但跟怪獸也無關。（來源：年獸-網路）

中文
春節傳說之壓歲錢
傳說古時候有一種身黑手白的小妖叫「祟」，每逢大年三十的夜裡都出來害小孩。他只要用那雙慘白的手在熟睡的小孩額頭摸三下，小孩子就會發高燒，講囈語；等到幾天後高燒退去，原本聰明伶俐的孩子就變得神志不清，呆頭呆腦了！
人們害怕「祟」來傷害自己的孩子，就在這一天通宵燈火團坐不睡，「守祟」保護孩子。後來有一戶姓管的人家老來得子，為了保護這來之不易的孩子，他們在這一晚就逼著孩子玩耍，用紅紙包八枚銅錢，小孩拆了又包，一直到睡下。
但這夫妻倆可不敢睡，守在孩子身邊。半夜狂風驟起，「祟」又來張狂而來，當它得意地准備用手去摸孩子的額頭時，枕邊突然裂出一道亮光，「祟」嚇得魂飛魄散，倉惶而逃。
後來這對夫婦把「紅紙包銅錢」的事告訴大夥兒，家家戶戶也就年年按照這樣的方法防「祟」，小孩子們再沒被傷害過。
據說這八枚銅錢是八仙變的，暗中保佑孩子平安。紅包「壓祟」的習俗也延傳至今，因「歲」與「祟」諧音，「壓祟」發展到現在也就自然叫做「壓歲」了。
英文翻譯
New Year's Money in the Legend of the Spring Festival
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a kind of black-handed and white-handed demon called "Xuan", which came out every night on the 30th of the New Year to harm children. As long as he touched the sleeping child's forehead three times with his pale hands, the child would have a high fever and speak loud words; when the fever went away a few days later, the original bright child would become unconscious and ll!
People are afraid of hurting their children by "sneaking". On this day, they stay up all night and "guard sneaking" to protect their children. Later, a family with a family name came to have children. In order to protect the hard-won children, they forced them to play this night, wrapping eight copper coins in red paper. The children took apart and wrapped them until they fell asleep.
But the couple dare not sleep and stay with their children. In the middle of the night, when the wind burst, the "Yin" came again. When it was proudly ready to touch the child's forehead with its hands, a bright light burst out on the pillow. The "Yin" was frightened and fled in panic. Later, the couple told everyone about "copper money wrapped in red paper".
Every household followed this method every year to prevent "hidden", and the children were never hurt again.
It is said that the eight copper coins were changed by the Eight Immortals, secretly protecting the children's safety. The custom of "pressing the hidden" in red envelopes has also been passed down to this day. Because of the homonym of "age" and "hidden", the development of "pressing the hidden" is now naturally called "pressing the old".

中國民間故事包含豐富的想像成分，充滿浪漫色彩。它起源於原始社會，到階級社會又繼續發展，反映古代社會人們的生活、習俗和信念，人與人之間的關系和某些社會矛盾。幻想故事的主人公多為普通勞動者，其中出現的情節、事物和一部分人物，大都帶有超自然的性質。
它常把某些現實生活中不可能的事情，當作可能實現的事情表現出來。它藉助法術和寶物的幫助，實現貧困、誠實主人公的願望和憧憬，並對惡人、貪心者予以懲罰。
這類故事中的寶物大多為日常事物，它們的神奇性能實際是人類知識和技能的作用的理想化，並且經過幻想以物質形態表現出來。
幻想故事情節常採用「三段結構法」；人物、情節、語言基本定型，在不同地區也時有變異；敘述經常夾有韻語。晉代干寶《搜神記》（卷十四）中的《毛衣女》、陶潛《搜神後記》中的《白水素女》，唐代段成式《酉陽雜俎》續集「支諾臯上」里的《葉限》、《旁》和《原化記》中的《吳堪》等，記錄的都是古代流傳的幻想故事。

There are two legends which claim to explain the tradition of eating mooncakes.
關於吃月餅這個傳統的來歷有兩個傳說。
One Tang Dynasty myth holds that the Earth once had 10 suns circling it. One day all 10 suns appeared at once, scorching the planet with their heat.
It was thanks to a skillful archer named Hou Yi that the Earth was saved. He shot down all but one of the suns. As his reward, the Heavenly Queen Mother gave Hou Yi the Elixir of Immortality, but she warned him that he must use it wisely.
Hou Yi ignored her advice and, corrupted by fame and fortune, became a tyrannical leader. Chang-Er, his beautiful wife, could no longer stand by and watch him abuse his power so she stole his Elixir and fled to the moon to escape his angry wrath. And thus began the legend of the beautiful woman in the moon, the Moon Fairy.
一個是唐朝的神話故事，說的是當時地球被10個太陽包圍著。有一天個太陽同時出現在天空中，巨大的熱量幾乎把地球烤焦了。
多虧一位名叫後羿的神箭手射下了9個太陽，地球才被保住。為了獎勵後羿，王母娘娘賜給後羿一種長生不老葯，但是王母警告他必須正當使用。然而後羿沒有理會王母娘娘的警告，他被名利沖昏了頭腦，變成了一個暴君。
後羿美麗的妻子嫦娥對他的暴行再也不能袖手旁觀，於是她偷走了後羿的長生不老葯，飛到月亮上逃避後羿的狂怒。從此就有了關於月宮仙子嫦娥，這個月亮上的美麗女人的傳說。
