I want to share some of my reasons for sponsoring New Tang Dynasty Televisions (NTDTV) Chinese New Year Spectacular.

The Legend of Chinese New Year’s Monster Nian
Celebrating the Chinese New Year should be called passing of Nian or Guo Nian in Chinese. However the term was gradually changed to Spring Festival after the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) took power in 1949.
