Why do you want to clean the house on the fifth day?

Cleaning the house on the fifth day is to blow out all unlucky things and monsters and try to stay away from us.

Cleaning is thorough cleaning. Sweep out the garbage in every house. Before the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month to the fifth day of the first lunar month, cleaning and sweeping are generally not allowed, only in the house, and garbage can only be placed in the corner of the house first. Especially during the Chinese New Year, you can't move the broom. If you move, you will lose your good luck.

But on the day of the fifth lunar month, it is necessary to have a thorough cleaning. When the garbage was swept out of the door and into a corner, firecrackers were also placed outside the house, so a huge firecracker was brought, placed on the garbage dump and lit, and the ceremony ended with a bang. Morality drives all the poor and needy people away.
