Why are firecrackers set off so badly on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year? Are there any customs?

Because everyone is "welcoming the God of Wealth". Every new year, people open doors and windows, burn incense, set off firecrackers and fireworks to welcome the god of wealth at 0: 00 on the fifth day of the first month.

"Sending the poor" is a unique custom of the ancient Han people in China. On this day, every household made a woman out of paper, called "sweeping mother". She carried a paper bag on her back, cleaned the dirt in the bag and sent it to the door to burn it. This custom is also called "sending poor soil". In the old society, on New Year's Eve or the fifth day of the first month, you had to eat very full, which is also commonly known as "filling the poor pit". A series of "sending the poor customs" all show the yearning for a better life in the new year.

The god of wealth is the five gods. The so-called five roads refer to the east, west, north and south, which means that you can get money when you go out of five doors. Therefore, every new year, people will open doors and windows, light incense and set off firecrackers to welcome the arrival of the god of wealth at 0: 00 on the fifth day of the first month. After receiving the god of wealth, everyone still has to eat road wine, often until dawn. Everyone is full of hope of getting rich. I hope the god of wealth can bring home the treasure of gold and silver in the new year, and it is either rich or expensive.
