浅说汉藏文化中的“年”与“■■■”

The "Nian" in the Hans Culture and "■■■" in the Zangs Culture

“年”在汉文化中作为一种怪兽,因其出现在除夕之夜并伤及人身而被人们用种种方法驱逐之,由此成为汉族过年习俗中不可缺少的成分。无独有偶,在藏文化中。也有一种叫做“(?)”(汉文中译作“年”、“念”或“宁”)的怪物,而且自成系统。它与汉文化中的“年”似乎有相当程度的类同之处,甚至可以说有一定的渊源关系。

It is said that the ＂Nian＂ is a monster in the Hans culture and it often hurt people and the people try their best to get rid of it.So the ＂Nian＂ became one of important Festivals of the Hans custom.And there is a monster named ＂ ＂ too in the Zangs culture. They are alike in some aspects.
