What are the customs on New Year's Day?

There are folk customs of welcoming the kitchen god, the five-way god of wealth, eating discounts and abandoning poverty. The reason why the fourth day of the lunar new year is called "sheep day" is because in legend, Nu Wa created sheep on this day, and there is a folk saying that "three sheep (yang) open Thailand" and think it is an auspicious day.

1, welcome the chef.

Kitchen God, also known as Kitchen King, Kitchen God and Kitchen God, is the god of catering in ancient Chinese myths and legends. According to the folk saying, it is very important to check the household registration on the first day of the first month, so every household should stay at home, prepare rich fruits, burn incense and light candles to welcome them.

2, eat at a discount, throw the poor.

Discount is a hodgepodge of leftovers in a few days, and cleaning up the new year's goods means that you will not worry about food and clothing in the coming year and make a lot of money.

On this day, dust indoors, sweep the floor indoors and take out the garbage in the yard to prepare for "throwing the poor".
