The term "pass year" is used for the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year).The word "Year" in Chinese characters used to mean a horrible beast.To combat the beast,the Chinese hang "good luck" wishes on red paper on the door and use fireworks in the belief that the beast fears red and fire.This tradition in many ways resemble the Western belief of using garlic and crosses to fight vampires.
中文中“过年”这个词组用以表示对春节（中国新年）的庆祝.“年”这个字在中文里是一种恐怖的怪兽.因为“年”害怕红色和火,所以中国人会在门上悬挂“春联”写上美好祝福,并放鞭炮来赶跑它.这个传统有点类似西方人用大蒜和十字架吓跑吸血鬼的传统.
