The custom story of the sixth day of the first month.

On the sixth day of the first month, "sending the poor" is a very distinctive custom in ancient China, which means sending away the old poverty and hardships and welcoming a better life in the new year. According to legend, the "poor wretch" was the son of the ancient emperor Zhuan Xu. He has a quirk, that is, he likes to wear rags. Even if he is given new clothes, he must tear them or burn them before wearing them.

So everyone called him a "poor boy", and after his death, he became a "poor guy" that everyone was afraid of. On the sixth day, if someone's house is dirty, he will enter the house and there will be a phenomenon of breaking money. Therefore, every year on the sixth day of the first month, people should "send the poor" and throw all the garbage accumulated in the first month out of the door as a symbol of "poor ghosts". This year has nothing to do with poverty and wealth.
