关于压岁钱,有一个流传很广的故事。古时候,有一种小妖叫“祟”,大年三
十晚上出来用手去摸熟睡着的孩子的头,孩子往往吓得哭起来,接着头疼发热,
变成傻子。因此,家家都在这天亮着灯坐着不睡,叫做“守祟”。
有一家夫妻俩老年得子,视为心肝宝贝。到了年三十夜晚,他们怕“祟”来
害孩子,就拿出八枚铜钱同孩子玩。孩子玩累了睡着了,他们就把八枚铜钱用红
纸包着放在孩子的枕头下边,夫妻俩不敢合眼。半夜里一阵阴风吹开房门,吹灭
了灯火,“祟”刚伸手去摸孩子的头,枕头边就迸发道道闪光,吓得“祟”逃跑了。
第二天,夫妻俩把用红纸包八枚铜钱吓退“祟”的事告诉了大家,以后大家学着
做,孩子就太平无事了。
原来八枚铜钱是八仙变的,暗中来保护孩子的。因为“祟”与“岁”谐音,
之后逐渐演变为“压岁钱”。

传说中国古时侯有一种叫“年”的怪兽,头长尖角,凶猛异常,年”兽长年
深居海底,每到除夕,爬上岸来吞食牲畜伤害人命,因此每到除夕,村村寨寨的
人们扶老携幼,逃往深山,以躲避“年”的伤害。
又到了一年的除夕,乡亲们象往年都忙着收拾东西准备逃往深山,这时候村
东头来了一个白发老人,白发老人对一户老婆婆说只要让他在她家住一晚,他定
能将“年”兽驱赶走.众人不信,老婆婆劝其还是上山躲避的好,但老人坚持留
下,众人见劝他不住,便纷纷上山躲避去了。
当“年”兽象往年一样准备闯进村肆虐的时候,突然传来爆竹声,“年”兽混
身颤栗,再也不敢向前凑了,原来“年”兽最怕红色,火光和炸响.这时大门大
开,只见院内一位身披红袍的老人哈哈大笑,“年”兽大惊失色,仓惶而逃.
第二天,当人们从深山回到村里时,发现村里安然无恙,这才恍然大悟,原
来白发老人是帮助大家驱逐“年”兽的神仙,人们同时还发现了白发老人驱逐“年”
兽的三件法宝.从此,每年的除夕,家家都贴红对联,燃放爆竹,户户灯火通明,
守更待岁.这风俗越传越广,就成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日“过年”。
