Introduction to the fourth day of the first month:

The fourth day of the first month (the fourth day of the Lunar New Year), also known as Sheep Day, is the day when China people welcome God. In the calendar of the old empire, people 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 this day, the whole family cleans the new year's goods together, cleans the room and throws away the garbage, which is also called "throwing the poor" in China folklore. At the same time, some areas have the custom of reaching the age of four.

As one of the ancient customs in China. On this day, the whole family usually get together to eat discounted food. The so-called folding basket is a hodgepodge of food left over from cleaning up the new year's goods for a few days. Generally speaking, shops should entertain the big and small guys and distribute red envelopes on the fourth night of the fourth day.
