Twenty-four solar terms are one of the important contents, which will bring a lot of influence to people's lives, especially before spring break.

When will the house be cleaned before spring?

The time to sweep the house before the spring break is the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, which is a traditional folk custom of the Spring Festival in China and originated from a religious ceremony of the ancient Han people to drive away the epidemic. This ceremony later evolved into a clean-up at the end of the year, which pinned the good wishes of the working people of the Han nationality to ward off evil spirits, eliminate disasters, welcome auspicious blessings. Han folk proverb says: Dust and sweep the house. The north is called cleaning the house and the south is called dust removal. Indoor and outdoor, in front of and behind the house, thoroughly clean up, wash clothes and household appliances, and greet the Spring Festival cleanly.

The origin of this solar term sweeping dust

This solar term of sweeping dust comes from a legend. There was an ancient saying that beginning of spring had to sweep the dust before, saying that it was impossible to break ground after beginning of spring. The last five days in beginning of spring were Wuwu, Chen Wu, Wuyin, Wuzi and Wuxu, which were not suitable for breaking ground. It is said that these days are the days when the land bodhisattva travels around the world. Breaking ground is to challenge the authority of the land bodhisattva and do evil. Getting up early that day, the local temple wished to cross the street with gongs, and nothing happened. In this year, anyone with yellow skin, shortness of breath and laziness will be suspected of getting dirt on May Day, so please ask the mage to ask the Land Bodhisattva for forgiveness.

Discussion on Spring Festival health preservation

The arrival of the Spring Festival spirit makes the climate change fast, the air dry and cold, and the stomach sensitive. Everyone should eat more sweets at this time. It should be noted that sweetness and sweetness are not exactly the same. The so-called sweet food not only means that the food tastes a little sweet, but more importantly, it has the function of nourishing the spleen and stomach. Eating more sweets can supplement the qi of the spleen and stomach. Jujube and yam are the first sweets, and eating these two things often helps to improve human immunity. You can also cook porridge with jujube, yam, rice and millet.
