Chinese New YearIts origin is ancient, but many believe the word Nian, which means ＂year＂, was the name of a beast that preyed on people on the eve of a new year. In one legend, the beast, Nian, had the power to swallow up all the people in a village in one big bite. Village people were very scared of Nian. One day, an old man came to the villagers' rescue, offering to subdue Nian. The old man asked Nian, ＂I know you can swallow people, but can you swallow other beasts of prey instead of people who are by no means your worthy opponents?＂ Nian accepted the old man's challenge and swallowed the beasts that had harassed the villagers and their farm animals for years. At the end of the legend, the old man disappeared riding off on Nian. In this legend, the old man turned out to be an immortal god. In the end, Nian is gone and the other beasts of prey are scared into hiding in the forests. The villagers can once again enjoy their peaceful life. The legend goes on to say before the old man left, he told the villagers to put red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each year's end in order to keep Nian away. It is believed Nian is afraid of the color red. The tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on from generation to generation. The term ＂Guo Nian＂, which means ＂Survive the Nian＂ became ＂Celebrate the Year＂ and the word ＂guo＂ in Chinese means both ＂pass over＂ and ＂observe＂. The custom of putting up red paper and lighting firecrackers to scare away Nian continues today

母亲节的由来英语的哟！字数不要太多！谢谢我是要写在手抄报上的

Julia Ward Howe was the first to proclaim Mother's Day in 1870. Her Mother's Day Proclamation was a pacifist reaction to the American Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War. The modern holiday of Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother in America. She then began a campaign to make ＂Mother's Day＂ a recognized holiday in the United States. Although she was successful in 1914, she was already disappointed with its commercialization by the 1920s. Jarvis' holiday was adopted by other countries and it's now celebrated all over the world.

母亲节由来英文短

The history of Mother's Day is centuries old and the earliest Mother's Day celebrations can be traced back to the spring celebrations of Rhea, the Mother of the Gods. In the 1600's, the Christians in England celebrated a day to honour Mary, the mother of Christ. By a religious order, the holiday was later expanded to include all mothers, and named as the Mothering Sunday. Celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent (the 40 day period before Easter), 'Mothering Sunday' honoured all the mothers of England. During this period many of the England's poor worked as servants for the wealthy. As most jobs were located far from their homes, the servants lived at the houses of their employers. On Mothering Sunday, the servants would have the day off and returned home to spend the day with their mothers. They brought along a special cake ('mothering cake') to give a festive touch to the event. As Christianity spread throughout Europe the celebration changed to honour the 'Mother Church' (the town's main church). Over time the church festival blended with the Mothering Sunday celebration. People began honouring their mothers as well as the church. 根据资料记载，最早的母亲节，或者说母亲节的由来可以追溯到1600年，基督徒庆祝圣母玛利亚。

再往前追溯就要到希腊神话里面的Rhea，她是希腊神话中宙斯及其它神祗的母亲，“生育女神”（the goddess of fertility）。
