The Spring Festival is an important traditional festival in China. There are naturally many customs and stresses from the first day of the first month to the seventh day of the first month. Don't sweep the floor on the first day, sweep away good luck; On the second day of school, lunch is at her mother's house and dinner is at her husband's house.

On the fifth day, "Breaking Five" drove the poor and set off firecrackers to eat jiaozi; On the sixth day of June, merchants opened their doors to do business; On the seventh day of "People's Day", respect everyone.

All China people have known since childhood that the Spring Festival is the most important festival in a year, especially from the first day to the seventh day. It is essential to observe customs and precautions.

On the first day of junior high school, we can't sweep the floor at home, so usually our elders will ask us to clean the house before the New Year's Eve. Because it is said that sweeping the floor at home on the first day of junior high school will sweep away the good luck at home this year. The next day is the day when my daughter and son-in-law come home. Although the married daughter splashes water, it is filial piety to go home often. The third day was once the "Red Dog Day" among the ancient population. According to folklore, going out on this day will lead to disputes with others, so it is not appropriate to go out, but it seems that no one has mentioned it now.

The fourth day is a day to worship the god of wealth and welcome the kitchen god, so in the past, everyone would not go out on the fourth day, but eat at home and welcome the kitchen god. The fifth day is "driving away poverty", and many families will choose to set off firecrackers at the door at dawn to drive away poverty at home. The sixth day, as the name implies, is the day of "June 6th Great Shun". Many businesses will open their doors on this day, so it is often heard that many businesses set off firecrackers at the door in the early morning of the sixth day, and ordinary families will throw away all the garbage at home. The seventh day of the seventh day is "People's Day". In ancient times, prisoners were not executed on this day, and elders did not scold children.

I didn't expect the pressure from grade one to grade seven to be so great? Although many customs have gradually disappeared, as China people, it is necessary for us to understand them.
