　　现代民间习惯上把春节又叫做过年。其实，年和春节的起源是不同的。

　　那么“年”究竟是怎么来的呢?民间主要有两种说法：一种说的是，古时候，有一种叫做“年”的凶猛怪物，每到腊月二十，变出窜村挨户，觅食人肉，残杀生灵。有一个腊月三十的晚上，“年”到了一个村庄，正好有两个孩子在比赛牛鞭子。“年”突然听到半空中响起了啪啪的鞭声，吓得望风而逃。他窜到另一个村庄，又迎头望到了一家门口晒着一件大红衣服，它不知道衣服是什么东西，吓得赶紧掉头逃跑。后来它又到了一个村庄，朝一户人家门里一瞧，只见里面灯火辉煌，刺得它头昏眼花，只好又夹着尾巴溜了。人们由此摸准了“年”有怕响、怕红，怕光的'弱点，便想到许多抵御它的方法，于是逐渐演化成今天过年的风俗。

　　另一种说法是，我国古代的字书把“年”字放在禾部，以禾风调雨顺，五谷丰登。由于谷禾一般都是一年一熟。所以“年”便被引申为岁名了。
