China has the custom of cleaning before the Spring Festival, which is called "Cleaning Day". What's its name again?

Spring Festival. ?

Dust cleaning day, that is, the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, is a year-end cleaning. Every household cleans cobwebs, raises dust and cleans them up. Although it is the "24th Dust Removal Day", it is actually the dust removal time from before and after the sacrifice to the end of the year. In some parts of China, the period from the early year (the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month) to New Year's Eve is called "Dust Clearing Day", also called "Spring Festival Day".

Matters needing attention in dusty days

1, when sweeping the dust, you must pay attention to everything and leave no dead ends. Just follow the legend above, and at the same time, you should also prevent the three corpse gods from leaving traces in some dead ends. Pay attention to modern appliances, ceilings, range hoods and doormats.

2. In ancient times, it was necessary to prepare green bamboo leaves with the ability to ward off evil spirits and clean up filth, and remove the gray cobwebs from high places. There are special brooms or other cleaning tools. If it is not a bamboo broom, pay attention to symbolic cleaning with bamboo leaves.

3, "Men don't Yue Bai, women don't sacrifice stoves" But with the changes in the division of labor in modern society, many people in a family are women, and many people have made sacrifices to stoves. Twenty-three is not a man's sacrifice to the stove, so twenty-four cleaning must be done by men together. Reflect the integration of husband and wife, regardless of each other.
