How to clean the house during the Spring Festival?

The saying of sweeping the house in the New Year is as follows:

Han folk proverb says: on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, clean the house. It's called house cleaning in the north and cleaning in the south. Indoor and outdoor, in front of and behind the house, thoroughly clean, clothes and household appliances, wash out a new look, and greet the Spring Festival cleanly. Everyone is ready for the Spring Festival.

Before and after the sacrifice of the stove to New Year's Eve, a general cleaning should be carried out. On this day, the dust accumulated under the bed and roof beams in the corner should be removed with a broom. Metal handles on boxes and cabinets should also be polished. This custom has a long history.

When sweeping the house on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, we should also remember: three don't stay, four don't move, and five should sweep to welcome the Spring Festival and celebrate the New Year.

"Three not left": First, there are no plates left with cracks and gaps; Second, there are no old toothbrushes and towels left; Third, there are no unlit light bulbs, old window grilles and Spring Festival couplets on doors and windows.

"four motionless": first, the old wine in the wine cabinet does not move; Second, the bed at home does not move; Third, the minority at home does not move; Fourth, the cooker does not move.

"Five sweeps": First, the cobwebs on the roof should be swept; Second, the pots and boxes for cooking medicine at home should be cleaned up; Third, sewers and dark corners should be cleaned; Fourth, the lamps should be clean; Fifth, the refrigerator at home should be cleaned.

December 24th of the lunar calendar can be called National Health Day. I remember "three don't stay, four don't move, and five should be clean", so as to make the house bright and bright, welcome the Spring Festival and celebrate the New Year.
