What holiday is the 24th day of the Lunar New Year on the lunar calendar?

The twenty-fourth day of the Lunar New Year is the day of sweeping the house, as the proverb says.

The proverb says, "On the 24th day of the Lunar month, the house is cleaned. After the Zaosai festival, preparations for the New Year officially begin. Every year from the twenty-third day of the lunar month to New Year's Eve, China's folk called this period of time "to welcome the spring day", also known as "dust day". Sweeping is the end of the year cleaning, the north called "sweeping room", the south called "dusting". Sweeping dust before the Spring Festival is a traditional habit of our people. Whenever the Spring Festival comes, every household has to clean up the environment, cleaning all kinds of appliances, unwashing bedding curtains, sweeping the courtyard, dusting dust cobwebs, dredge the nullahs and ditches. All over the world, there is an atmosphere of joyful sanitation and cleanliness to welcome the New Year.
