What is the relationship between new year's goods and the custom of Spring Festival?

Buying new year's goods is the custom of the Spring Festival.

China's annual custom culture has a long history, and various Chinese New Year customs originate from all parts of the country, with great differences between the north and the south, each with its own characteristics. However, preparing new year's goods and giving new year's gifts are almost "necessary for the New Year" all over the country.

Families in China have to buy many "new year's goods" before the Spring Festival, such as Spring Festival couplets, blessings, new clothes and food during the Spring Festival (most markets are closed during the Spring Festival). Celebrating the Spring Festival is an important activity for China people.

The custom of the Spring Festival also includes "sweeping dust"

In the folk, there is a custom of "sweeping the house on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month" on New Year's Eve. The folk proverb says "Twenty-four, sweep the house". Dust removal is year-end cleaning. Every household should clean the environment, clean all kinds of appliances, remove bedding curtains, clean the courtyard in Liu Lu, dust off cobwebs and dredge culverts in open channels.

Everywhere is filled with the joyful atmosphere of cleaning and welcoming the Spring Festival cleanly. According to the folk saying: Because of the homonym of "dust" and "Chen", sweeping dust in the Spring Festival means "getting rid of the old and not being new", and its original intention is to sweep away all bad luck and bad luck. Folk call it "Dust Day".
