The origin of handwritten newspaper

In the summer calendar, the last day of the year is the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, which is called "New Year's Eve". This night is called New Year's Eve. It is to take off the old cloth and welcome the first day of the first month of the New Year. ?

Why do you want to remove the last day of the year? What? It turned out that at the end of this year, the ancients used drums to drive away "epidemic ghosts" and the "New Year's Eve" festival was born. Later, people used firecrackers instead of drums, so Wang Anshi wrote in the poem "January 1st": "Firecrackers are one year old, and the spring breeze warms Tu Su. Thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old ones. " ?

Besides setting off firecrackers, people have to clean the house, hang peaches and change the door gods. This is recorded in Dream of Liang Lu. Volume 6: "At the end of December, there is a common saying that' the month is poor and the year is over', which is called' except night'. Men of letters, large and small, sweep the floor, change door gods, hang Zhong Kui, nail peaches, stick spring cards and worship ancestors. At night, prepare fragrant flowers to greet the gods and pray for peace in the new year. "
