Publisher's Synopsis
International Hans Christian Andersen Award Winner Onikov's masterpiece Bologna International Children's Book Illustration Exhibition was selected as a culture with vitality, which must be conveyed through stories! Why set off firecrackers, post Spring Festival couplets, and receive red envelopes during the New Year? These traditional customs come from stories passed down from generation to generation. Onikov, winner of the International Andersen Award, uses vivid pictures to help children better understand the precious wisdom of their ancestors. Once upon a time, there was a terrible beast called "Nian". It would climb up from the bottom of the sea and look for something to eat. As long as it is seen, it will be eaten. On this day, the north wind was blowing, and the weather was extremely cold.
