On New Year's Eve, people always stay up late. which is called "Shousui". The tradition of staying up late to see New Year in originated from an interesting folk tale. In ancient China there lived a monster named Year, who was very ferocious. Year always went out from its burrow on New Year's Eve to devour people. Therefore. on every New Year's Eve every household
would have supper together. After dinner, no one dared go to sleep and all the family members would sit together, chatting and emboldening each other. Gradually the habit of staying up late on New Year's Eve is formed. Thus in China "celebrating the Spring Festival"is also called "passing over the year (guo nian)”
岁除夜里，我们一般都会熬夜，这被称为“守岁”。守岁的传统源自于一个风趣的民间故事。在我国古代有一个叫作'年’的凶狠怪物，在岁除夜 '年’会从地洞里出来吃人。因而在岁除夜，每家每户都会一同吃晚饭，晚饭今后没人敢睡觉，一切的家庭成员会坐在一同谈天彼此壮胆，逐步在岁除夜守岁的习气构成了，因而在我国，庆祝新年也被叫作春节。
At night the families get together drink and chat. They watch the New Year festival gala and enjoy some snacks(mainly sweets, peanuts and sunflower seeds). It is said that the parents can live for long if the young stay up late. They often sleep after the new day comes or after the New Year festival gala. And all
the lights will not turn off for the whole night
