Why does Putian celebrate the New Year in the fourth day?

The fourth day is the difference between Putian and other places. Putian people also celebrate the New Year on the fourth day, which means repeating the New Year. The fourth day will be as lively and grand as the New Year's Eve. This custom originated in the forty-first year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese invaded Putian and plundered it everywhere. It was not until the first day of the first month of the following year that it was defeated by Qi Jiajun that it returned. Since everyone has taken refuge in other places and can't celebrate the New Year, we decided to make it up on the evening of the fourth day. In order to commemorate this painful history, people get together on New Year's Eve. The fourth day of the first month is called "New Year's Eve", also known as "New Year's Eve" (Xianyou is the fifth day of the New Year's Eve).
