The sixth day of the first month has always been considered a good day. In the new year, the sixth day of the first month is a good day, and there are no taboos.

The sixth day of the first lunar month, also known as Horse Day, is a unique folk custom in China, and it is a day to send the poor. There are different ways to send the poor to all parts of China. But the moral is basically the same, they all send away the poor. It reflects the traditional psychology of China people who generally hope to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new in the new year, bid farewell to the old poverty and hardships, and welcome a better life.

Kaicheng custom on the sixth day of the first month:

According to the custom in China, the sixth day is the day when shops open. Setting off firecrackers symbolizes that this year's business will be prosperous, safe and prosperous. In the past, bosses and shop assistants would shake their abacus violently and beat the scales with scales on this day, which made the store make a sound, meaning "loud and prosperous".

On the sixth day of the first month, in the old society, it was the day when large and small businesses "opened the market", and red couplets of "opening the market and prospering everything" should be posted on the door panels. Set off firecrackers before business to show good luck. Some people find a "lovely person" (a woman with her husband, children and parents-in-law) walking around the house before the opening of the sixth day of the sixth day, saying auspicious words, such as "opening the market well, being lucky enough, being safe in everything, making more money and having money to be a kang" and so on.

Before the market opened, women with foreign surnames were forbidden to visit their homes. After the opening of the market, all Spring Festival taboos will end, everything will return to normal, and neighbors can also resume door-to-door communication.
