knobody really knows when the Chinese New Year really began but people say two different reasons one is that centuries ago there was a beast that come at the end of each year that attacked and killed the villagers.loud noisses,and lights scared it away and that's apparently how it began.And reason two is that it is supposed to be tied up to their ancestors,and the lunar solar Chinese calendar.it was a time to honor household and heavenly deaties,also ancestors
