Introduction of Spring Festival custom

1, a busy year

The 23rd or 24th day of the end of the year is called "off-year" among the people, and people have been busy since childhood. Off-year doesn't mean a certain day. Due to local customs, the days called off-year are different. During the off-year period, the main folk activities include sweeping dust and offering sacrifices to stoves. Before the Qing Dynasty, the traditional festival of offering sacrifices to stoves in the off-year was the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. In most parts of the south, the tradition of celebrating the Lunar New Year on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month is still maintained.

Step 2 clean the dust

Years ago, the busy work was mainly to get rid of the old cloth, and sweeping dust was one of the customs of getting rid of the old cloth. The folk proverb says, "On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, dust and sweep the house". 23/24 ended, and officially began to prepare for the New Year. Sweeping dust means year-end cleaning, which is called "house sweeping" in the north and "house sweeping" in the south. Whenever the Spring Festival comes, every household should clean the environment, clean all kinds of electrical appliances, remove and wash bedding curtains, sweep six yards, dust cobwebs and dredge culverts in open channels.
