The colour of red is important for chinese. According to the legends, the beginning of Chinese New Year started with the fight against a beast called the Nian or "Year" in Chinese. Nian would come on the first day of New Year to kill livestock, crops, and children. 

The villagers would put some food in front of their doors at the beginning of every year and believed that after the Nian ate the food they prepared, it wouldn’t attack any more people. 

Once, people saw the Nian was scared away by a little child wearing red, they then understood that the Nian was afraid of the color red. 

Hence, every time when New Year is about to come, the villagers would hang red lanterns and spring scroll on windows and doors. 

People also use firecrackers to frighten the Nian and from then on, the Nian never came to the village again.
