When can I throw garbage during the Spring Festival?

Can't I take out the garbage at the age of thirty?

There is a custom in Tianjin, that is, you can't take out the garbage without sweeping the floor at thirty. In the family where there used to be old people, whenever it was just dark on New Year's Eve, the old people would temporarily put away their sweeping brooms and kang brooms, fearing that diligent people would pick up their brooms to sweep the floor and kang. In people's eyes, the thirtieth is the most important. The so-called one hour and two years, from eleven o'clock to one o'clock in the morning, spanned two years, leaving behind the wealth of the past, which was very important in people's minds at that time.

Dried and fresh fruits, peeled peanuts and melon seeds that I ate tonight were all thrown on the ground and could not be swept away. Instead of sweeping, you have to step on it when you come out and go in, making a scratching sound. This is another custom called trampling on the old (broken). Stepping on the old is stepping on everything that is not smooth and beautiful. I hope everything will go well in the coming year. Moreover, garbage can't be taken out this evening, which is equivalent to "pouring money", which is also very taboo for the elderly. So, you have to wait until the first morning, and you can sweep the floor at dawn. After sweeping, put away all the rubbish and then go out to take it out.

You can take out the garbage at the beginning of the Lunar New Year.

You can take out the garbage on the fifth day.

Generally speaking, it is the Spring Festival from New Year's Eve to the fifth day. During this period, there are many rules and taboos, such as no cooking, no going out, no taboos, unlucky words, no sweeping the floor and sprinkling water, no opening a shop and so on. However, on the fifth day, all the above taboos were broken. Today is the day to retract the confession. You can "pinch five bags of jiaozi", sweep the floor and take out the garbage, go out and go back to your mother's house, and all the shops can open. The fifth day is the end of the Spring Festival and the beginning of life after the year, so it is called "Breaking Five".

The fifth day is the birthday of the god of wealth, and it is also an auspicious day to meet the god of wealth. Every household greets God, every shop gets up when it hears the cock crow, and starts to greet God, setting off whips and firecrackers, hanging red cloth on the signboard to celebrate the opening of the market, and drinking the wine of the God of Wealth.

The second is to send the poor. Since the Han and Tang dynasties, there has been a custom of sending the poor among the people. Based on this belief, on the fifth day of the fifth year, we sweep, burn, empty and send garbage, regard garbage as a symbol of the poor, "send the poor out of their homes" and send them to far away places. In some places, cars and boats are tied with grass or paper as "vehicles" to send the poor.
