The fourth day of the first lunar month is also called the Year of the Sheep. This is the day when China people meet God. In the old imperial calendar, it was often said that "three sheep (yang) open Thailand" is a symbol of good luck and a day to welcome the kitchen god back to the people. On the fourth day of lunar new year's eve, the whole family get together for a discount. The so-called discount is a hodgepodge of rice left over from cleaning up the new year's goods in a few days. Cleaning the room and stacking the garbage in one place is also called "throwing the poor" in China folklore. Due to modern historical reasons, some areas in Putian and Xianyou, Fujian Province have the custom of being too old in the fourth day of junior high school, which has been included in the fifth batch of provincial intangible cultural heritage representative projects.
