All Chinese know from childhood that the Spring Festival is the most important festival of the year, especially from the first to the seventh day of the month, when the customs to be observed and things to be done are even more essential.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is not allowed to sweep the floor in the house, so usually the elders in the family will let us do the hygiene in the house before the New Year's Eve. Because legend has it that sweeping the floor at home on the first day of the year will sweep away the family's good luck for the year. On the second day of the year, it is the day when the daughter and son-in-law return to the door, although it is said that the daughter who is married off splashes out the water, but it is filial piety to return home to see. The third was once the ancient mouth of the "red dog day", there is folklore in this day to go out will have a verbal dispute with others, so it is not appropriate to go out, but now it seems that not too much has been mentioned.

The fourth day of the month is the day to sacrifice to the god of wealth and welcome the king of the stove, so in the old days, people would not go out on the fourth day of the month, but would eat at home to welcome the king of the stove. The fifth is to "drive poor", many families will choose to firecrackers in front of the door at dawn, to drive away the family's poor gas. The sixth day of the month, as the name suggests, is the day of the "six six big luck", many businesses will open their doors on this day, so often in the early morning of the sixth day of the month, you will hear many businesses in front of the door to set off firecrackers, and ordinary families will throw all the garbage out of the house. The first seven days of the year is the "Day of the Man", in ancient times, this day will not be executed, the elders will not scold the children.

Is it true that there are still so many customs from the first day of the month to the seventh day of the month? Although many customs have now gradually disappeared, but as Chinese, we still have the need to understand.
