春節傳說之壓歲錢

傳說古時候有一種身黑手白的小妖叫「祟」，每逢大年三十的夜裡都出來害小孩。他只要用那雙慘白的手在熟睡的小孩額頭摸三下，小孩子就會發高燒，講囈語；等到幾天後高燒退去，原本聰明伶俐的孩子就變得神志不清，呆頭呆腦了！

人們害怕「祟」來傷害自己的孩子，就在這一天通宵燈火團坐不睡，「守祟」保護孩子。後來有一戶姓管的人家老來得子，為了保護這來之不易的孩子，他們在這一晚就逼著孩子玩耍，用紅紙包八枚銅錢，小孩拆了又包，一直到睡下。

但這夫妻倆可不敢睡，守在孩子身邊。半夜狂風驟起，「祟」又來張狂而來，當它得意地准備用手去摸孩子的額頭時，枕邊突然裂出一道亮光，「祟」嚇得魂飛魄散，倉惶而逃。

後來這對夫婦把「紅紙包銅錢」的事告訴大夥兒，家家戶戶也就年年按照這樣的方法防「祟」，小孩子們再沒被傷害過。

據說這八枚銅錢是八仙變的，暗中保佑孩子平安。紅包「壓祟」的習俗也延傳至今，因「歲」與「祟」諧音，「壓祟」發展到現在也就自然叫做「壓歲」了。

New Year's Money in the Legend of the Spring Festival

Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a kind of black-handed and white-handed demon called "Xuan", which came out every night on the 30th of the New Year to harm children. As long as he touched the sleeping child's forehead three times with his pale hands, the child would have a high fever and speak loud words; when the fever went away a few days later, the original bright child would become unconscious and ll!

People are afraid of hurting their children by "sneaking". On this day, they stay up all night and "guard sneaking" to protect their children. Later, a family with a family name came to have children. In order to protect the hard-won children, they forced them to play this night, wrapping eight copper coins in red paper. The children took apart and wrapped them until they fell asleep.

But the couple dare not sleep and stay with their children. In the middle of the night, when the wind burst, the "Yin" came again. When it was proudly ready to touch the child's forehead with its hands, a bright light burst out on the pillow. The "Yin" was frightened and fled in panic. Later, the couple told everyone about "copper money wrapped in red paper".

Every household followed this method every year to prevent "hidden", and the children were never hurt again.

It is said that the eight copper coins were changed by the Eight Immortals, secretly protecting the children's safety. The custom of "pressing the hidden" in red envelopes has also been passed down to this day. Because of the homonym of "age" and "hidden", the development of "pressing the hidden" is now naturally called "pressing the old".
