What is the origin of New Year's Eve?

Legend about the origin of New Year's Eve:
It is said that in ancient times, our ancestors were threatened by a most ferocious beast. This ferocious beast was called "Nian". It hunted animals for food. In winter, when food was scarce in the mountains, it would break into villages and hunt people and livestock, making the people in constant fear.
People have been fighting against "Nian" for many years, and they found that Nian is afraid of three things: the color red, fire, and loud noises. So in winter people would hang red peach wood boards on their doors, burn fires at the doorsteps, and stay up all night banging and hammering on the doors.
That night, "Nian" broke into the village, saw red and fire in every house, and heard deafening noises. It was so scared that it ran back into the mountains and never dared to come out again. As the night passed, people congratulated each other, hung up lights and decorations, drank and feasted to celebrate the victory.
To commemorate this victory, every winter at this time, every household would paste red paper couplets on the door, light electric lanterns, beat gongs and drums, and set off firecrackers and fireworks; at night, they would stay up all night; and the next day, they would congratulate each other early in the morning. This tradition has been passed down from generation to generation and has become the "Chinese New Year".
Legend about the origin of New Year's Eve:
Legend has it that a long time ago, there appeared a monster named "Xi". This guy is a natural at harming people. Especially when he sees a pretty girl in a house, he will rape her at night and then eat her.
The common people are very annoyed about it, but there is nothing they can do. There was a hunter named Qillang who was extremely strong and an excellent archer. The dog he fed was also very powerful and dared to fight any ferocious beast.
Seeing that the people were suffering from "Xi", Qilang wanted to get rid of it. He took the dog and looked for Xi everywhere, but he couldn't find her. "Xi" usually does not come out during the day. It only comes out to harm people after the sun sets. It disappears after midnight and no one knows where it lives.
Qilang had been looking for "Xi" for a whole year. Today was the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month. He came to a town and saw people happily preparing for the New Year. He thought, this town is big, there are many people and girls, maybe "Xi" will come. He consulted with the people in the town, saying that "Xi" was most afraid of loud noises, and asked everyone not to go to bed after dark. Find some loud objects to keep at home, and knock them hard when you hear any noise, so as to scare "Xi" out and get rid of it.
That night, "Xi" really came out, and it was discovered as soon as it broke into a house. The family immediately started banging pots and pans, and once they did, the whole town followed suit. "Xi" was so scared that he ran around and was seen by Qilang. Qilang released the hunting dogs to bite it, and "Xi" started fighting with Qilang and the dogs. When people heard that a killing had started outside, they all picked up things and banged them loudly. At this time, "Xi" felt a little overwhelmed and wanted to escape, but the hunting dog bit his hind legs and wouldn't let go.
Qilang took the opportunity to draw his bow and shoot, killing "Xi" with one arrow. From then on, people called the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month New Year's Eve. On this night, every household stays up all night and sets off firecrackers to drive away bad luck and welcome happiness and good fortune.
