What is the nickname of Lunar New Year's Eve?

On Chinese New Year's Eve, it is called Horse Day. On this day, people will clean up the filth and rags outside the house and burn them as sacrifices. They will also do a general cleaning at home and take out the garbage accumulated during the Chinese New Year. Many shops will also open on this day to show good luck. In addition, according to the traditional custom of "369, go out", you should visit parks and other places on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. If you consciously set the walking route as a circle when playing, it means great luck in the new year.

Brief introduction of lunar new year's eve

On the sixth day of Lunar New Year's Eve, the people of China are expected to bid farewell to the old poverty and hardships and welcome a better life in the new year.

According to the custom in China, the sixth day is the day when shops open. Setting off firecrackers symbolizes that this year's business will be prosperous, safe and prosperous. In the past, on this day, the board and the clerk would violently shake the abacus and beat the weighing pan with the balance to make the store sound loud and sound, meaning "loud and prosperous".

In the old society, the sixth day of the first month was the opening day for large and small businesses, and red couplets of "Everything is all right" should be posted on the door panels. Before the market is opened, women with foreign names are forbidden to go to their homes. After the opening of the market, all Spring Festival taboos are over, everything is back to normal, and neighbors can resume door-to-door communication.
