The Origin of Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the Beginning of Spring (the first of the twenty-four terms in coodination with the changes of Nature).Its origin is too old to be traced.Several explanations are hanging around.All agree,however,that the word year,which in modern Chinese solely means year,was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.
One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite.People were very scared.One day,an old man came to their rescue,offering to subdue Nian.To Nian he said,I hear say that you are very capable,but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents?So,it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harrassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.
After that,the old man disappeared riding the beast Nian.He turned out to be an immortal god.Now that Nian is gone and other beasts of prey are also scared into forests,people begin to enjoy their peaceful life.Before the old man left,he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each year's end to scare away Nian in case it sneaked back again,because red is the color the beast feared the most.
From then on,the tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on from generation to generation.The term Guo Nian,which may mean Survive the Nian becomes today Celebrate the (New) Year as the word guo in Chinese having both the meaning of pass-over and observe.The custom of putting up red paper and firing fire-crackers to scare away Nian should it have a chance to run loose is still around.However,people today have long forgotten why they are doing all this,except that they feel the color and the sound add to the excitement of the celebration.

第一段第一行最后一词“Benning”首字母小写即可
第一段第二行括号中“twenty-four”改为“twenty-forth”,表示第二十四个；coodination是什么意思?
第一段第三行最后一词“year”首字母应大写,最好再加上引号,因为前面有“the word”,第四行中的“year”最好也这么改
第一段第四行中“monster”和“beast”删去一个,因为它们都表示“兽”“怪物”,且都是名词（您是要用名词作定语吗?大可不必.其“monster”就是“怪兽”的意思）
第二段第二行第三句“came to their rescue”改为“came to rescue them”好吗?
第二段第三行“To Nian he said,I hear say that you are very capable”改为“He said to Nian,I've heard something about you,people thought that you are very capable”
第三段第三行“he had told people to put up red paper decorations ”改为“he had told people to put up red decorations”会更好一些.毕竟红色装饰品的范围比红纸要大,而且在古代普通百姓家用红色染物品比买弘治要便宜得多、普遍得多
最后一段第四行,“putting up red paper and firing fire-crackers ”改为“putting up red decorations and firing firecrackers”
《习俗》部分：
第二行“red papercuts.becouse”改为“red,because”,同样可以表示“……人们通常用红色装饰门窗……”；“People usually clean house too.becouse”改为“People usually clean house,too.Because”,“too”放句尾而不在前面加逗号是最忌讳的
第三行“Children can get some new clothes or presents from their parents and grandparents”改为“Children usually get some new clothes,presents and money from grown-ups”因为孩子们能够得到的不只是新衣服,还有一些礼物、红包.按照您原来的意思则有局限性,建议您将句意放开一些,范围更广一些
第四行“My family is going to pay New Year's visits to many relatives and friends during the Spring Festival”改为“My family usually visit other families during the Spring Festival”因为“is going to”容易让人误认为是“将会”,而后面又有“during”,意思不免有些混乱；前面“New Year's”与后面“during the Spring Festival”重复
