Answer:
The origin of the Spring Festival now is too old to be traced. It is widely believed that the word ‘Nian'(in Chinese means 'year'), was first the name of a monster beast that started to prey on human being at the night before the beginning of a new year. It had a very big mouth that would swallow many people with one bite. People were very scared. One day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to subdue ‘Nian'. He said to ‘Nian' that ‘I hear that you are quite capable, but can you swallow other beasts on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents?' Hence, ‘Nian' did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harassed people and their domestic animals from time to time. After that, the old man who turned out to be an immoral fairy disappeared riding the beast ‘Nian'. Now that ‘Nian' had gone and other beasts of prey are scared off into the forests, people began to enjoy their life in peace and happiness. Before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each year's end to scare away ‘Nian' in case it sneaked back again, because red is the color that the beast feared most.

Answer:
One reason Jefferson wanted to purchase the Louisiana Territory is for future expansion.
Explanation:
Jefferson had read about the Northwest Passage, a way to link the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean and thus a secured trade route. As it was at the time most of the territory west of the colonies was still controlled by the Native Americans as well as it being undeveloped, going was very slow for explorers. Having access to the Mississippi River would change so much for trade routes and Jefferson was forward thinking in knowing that securing the Mississippi River would change trade prospects in the new United States.
