I was introduced to this video in my Mandarin Language class back when I was 8. It used to scare me due the imagery of Nianshou, but now I find I share a similar trait to the monster: a crippling fear of sudden loud noises.
Hi Ms Adner, my name is Al and I teach primary, I want to show this video to my year 1 and i'm not sure whether it too scary for children to see this, epecially the sence where Nian ate the guy? plz email me your response. alwong9509@gmail.com
it does not matter if its real or fake...the people make it real by beliving in it...and it is there tradition you are not allowed to make fun of the tradiotion(btw i am a cypriot)
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a way to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost the password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!
I just commented this in 2018 xD. This is very entertaining :0. This is why i love China, amazing song in the Lunar/Chinese new year, the Barongsai (or uhh... the.. lion thing not Nian). I LIKED THIS VERY MUCH....
Thats why the protefted themselves by wearing red and painting their houses red then use loud gongs and firecrackers to scare the monster away. What does it teaches you? Courage and prosperity plus be happy :)
it's only a legend and is considered as the original reason for people to celebrate the Chinese new year, in Chinese, the new year is "guo nian", which can be directly translated as "pass the nian", this means if you can survive from the "nian",it worth celebrating. I've checked the history book, it is said that the Chinese new year is closely connected to the lunar month, solar system in ancient China and is originated from the ritual activities about 5000 years ago, Shang dynasty. At that time, people believe the new year means something to the agriculture, and as far as I am concerned ,since the new year is usually the most freezing time of the year, due to the cold weather and the lack of food, people wish to pass the nian and wait for the spring
It's what's more familiar to the people who made this and their audience; it's the same reason why you see Baroque paintings of Roman soldiers looking a lot like Spanish conquistadors.
When I first heard about this story it was great i think my teacher showed me this I didn't now why every thing was red when I saw this story now I no why every thing is red when i celebrate CNY
I'm confused. If Nian still can escape and the people have tp defend themselves, why would the gods do such things? If they really try to stop it, why they stop trying to lock it again?
This is the legend I've heard since young. CNY is very important for us Chinese, it's a time of reunion, joy, celebrations and unity
I used to love this story and I still love it now! I ALWAYS imagined what it looked like when I was young
I remember watching this at school long ago and thinking the Nian was the coolest thing ever.
Same
Me to
Another Asian me too
It was at Thailand
My teacher said it was “too scary”
I remember watching this in kindergarten, it scared all of us so bad the teacher never played it again.
Same
Same here.
Aku pingin dong video baru coba ya bikin yang ekstrim jam 2:25 siang di senin ya

Use subtitles and you will see the secret message:)
It’s “Oh Georgia horny n you that twin village were here”
bruh
yeah lmao
Ildk
Bruh that was like so inappropriate even if I saw that message a billion times
I remember watching this as a kid. And this has become my childhood trauma - 💀😭
The revenge and chasing away Nian was cool even the gods came both parts are cool!!!
I use to cry watching this when I was young no kidding ,the tunes and that eye was so scary.
This is both terrifying and amazing. Love the animation style
Although it isn't real, I still believe That NIAN is out there...☠️
1:49 when your friends try to beat a hard boss then you have to come in to destroy the boss
I saw this back in 2nd grade and it scared the hell out of me for a good 3 months
MY TEACHER WHO TEACHES MANDARIN ALWAYS SHOWS US THIS VIDEO!
@I Am The Order Of The Phoenix no
@I Am The Order Of The Phoenix when it’s the new year he shows us this. I don’t really know what you mean
@I Am The Order Of The Phoenix no I’m not
Nina from china
1:17 if he is afraid of red how is he not afraid of the person's blood
2:32 THE SKY IS FRICKIN RED
Edit: oh i just realized his eyes is red-
Nians theme song is so badass
I LOVE Tian's design! He's like a cat dragon, slinky and lithe, yet powerful and intimidating.
Remember, When I used to be 9 yrs old, I would watch this in mandarin class, and It was scared the heck out,but my teacher told about the story
The nian is afraid of the color red
The nian: * realize it's eyes are red*
Doctor: Why do you want to change your eye color?
The nian: don't ask
If Nian eats people then his actually eating their red blood as well
The animation is so good!
Nian was shocked by all the colours and noises everywhere he went

Imagine nian on shrooms
I just commented this in 2018 xD.
This is very entertaining :0.
This is why i love China, amazing song in the Lunar/Chinese new year, the Barongsai (or uhh... the.. lion thing not Nian).
I LIKED THIS VERY MUCH....
In the past people have tried to stand up against him but they all failed
Wow awesome?! XD I celebrate Chinese New Year it's really fun
i also celebrate veitnamese new year its the same thing as chinese new year but diffrent culture but its exactly the same
Thats why the protefted themselves by wearing red and painting their houses red then use loud gongs and firecrackers to scare the monster away.

Don’t offend us Chinese you people
That's a brilliant animation. Thanks very much.
I used to want to have nian as a pet i thought he was badass
After Nian was locked away everyone was happy and life was good
the auto-generated captions are great
Ikr
happy chinese new year eve!!!
could you also understand chinese
So everyone gathered and started to think of plans to defeat him
I like ur animation
I just love it when the gods come
But what if you don’t have a god?
QUE BELLA HISTORIA,ME GUSTA LSO CUENTOS CHINOS.
I’ve seen this is second grade in Chinese I like it//wo kan Zai liang gu zai gong gou
I remember this when i was 4 years old and i watch this at school with teacher my friend
Why was the scene red ♦️♥️🔺🔻🔴🚩🇨🇳
TODAY is Chinese New Year!!!
0:52 when your mom deletes your favorite video game
Finally the God's came and locked him up in the mountains at the edge of the world
And he run back to the mountains and never dared to come out again
But a year passed Nian escaped from the mountains and began to seek revenge on the people
This is my tradition
Bagguuuuhuuuuuuus
I thought it was Chinese lions that get ride of demons and scary monsters
Did nian actually sent to edge of world. And also the red thing was a very accurate guess
It's Nian in arknight.
Cool Bean
best graphics ever found in *china*
It think they named their year cake in Nian because it was called Nian gao
1:16
Captions: he will sing me
According To The Mythology Nian Hates Three Things: Firecrackers, Moises,Red Houses
This litterly disturbs and makes me freaked out even tho i don't believe in legends.
IT real
In the next day in Chinese New Year I should make a book about the legend of nian
Thousands of years ago in the mountains lived a demon called Nian
Who is still here after 12 years
Me
Some suggested Nian was afraid of loud noises bright light and red colours
Not so long later Nian appeared at the village
Demon called Nian
THE BEAST DEFEAT WHEN RUNS AWAY BACK TO THE MOUNTAIN
Omg i remeber watching this at school
1:17 YUM;
It's what's more familiar to the people who made this and their audience; it's the same reason why you see Baroque paintings of Roman soldiers looking a lot like Spanish conquistadors.
During the New Year even till this day
nian is so scary.is this a true reality
ok
That's one evil dragon lion hybrid
When I first heard about this story it was great i think my teacher showed me this I didn't now why every thing was red when I saw this story now I no why every thing is red when i celebrate CNY
I watched this at school before when I was an junior
新年快乐🎊
So everyone began preparing and all the houses were painted bright red
The Lion And The Nian 🦁👹
up主. 那个给我你背景音乐的来源吗，没有人声的，纯音乐。
Nian! Mr. Nian I finally found you from ldoe to here!
I'm confused. If Nian still can escape and the people have tp defend themselves, why would the gods do such things? If they really try to stop it, why they stop trying to lock it again?
Nice vid
awesome!
Nice, thanks for posting!
Is the nian cat really a demon in disguise?!
No
Happy Birthday right here with you today
what
i thought Nian was like a barongsai,but all the colour is dark n green
He's like the shadow of the darkness
NIAN is still alive in 2024 he is in chinas 🇨🇳 village god locked him in the mountains
你好
they should've just sliced the nape (jk, if i was in that situation, i would seize to function)
Nian giving me Ninetales vibe 0_o
I remember my mandarin teacher shows me this video when I was 1th grade, and I'm so scared like=😱😥
@Hinata708 so fake LOL defs not. there're heaps of variations of this story but i've never heard of one with "the villagers learnt kung fu"
And so people of China continued this tradation of making noises and decorating there houses red
Nian has monsters creatures like dragons music that drummer bitten on monster village farms
Cool man
Answer firecracker to drive away the nian.
I watched this in Primary school on Chinese new year kinda cool
