What are the customs of Lunar New Year's Day?

1, Yifei: Many friends are unfamiliar with the word Yifei, but in fact, this expression appeared in ancient times. Because the sixth day is horse day, I started to do business and work on this day. On this day, all the filth in the house should be cleaned up, which is called "fattening". Also on behalf of the working people in China, they began to prepare for spring ploughing on this day.

2, send poverty: Ma Chuliu, send poverty. According to legend, the poor god is Jiang Ziya's wife. In order to prevent the poor from entering the house during the Spring Festival, hanging a red note on the door can prevent the poor. On the sixth day of the first month, "seeing the poor off" is also a very distinctive custom in ancient China, which means offering sacrifices to poor ghosts (poor gods), also called "poor children".

3. Opening of the market: On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, most merchants' restaurants start to open, and firecrackers should be set off, which is as lively as New Year's Eve. On the sixth day of the first month, in the old society, businesses of all sizes "opened the market" and set off firecrackers in front of them to show good luck.

Put a pot or pots of big oranges in front of the store, and there must be many oranges, otherwise there will be too many oranges (Guangzhou dialect is homophonic "fierce"), which will be bad for "meaning".
