On the sixth day of the first month, "sending the poor" was a very distinctive custom in ancient China. It means offering sacrifices to poor ghosts (poor gods). There are many nicknames for sending poor people, such as "sending poor soil" and "sending poor clothes".

There are many ways to send the poor. The simple thing is to dump the garbage outside the door with firecrackers in the early morning. The complicated thing is to cut a little person (poor daughter-in-law) with paper and send it away, and even let her carry a paper bag full of garbage outside the door. In some places, people have to eat very full on the sixth day of the first month, which is commonly known as "filling the poor pit".

These customs of sending the poor, which are widely popular among Han people, reflect the traditional psychology that China people generally hope to bid farewell to the old poverty and hardships and welcome a better life in the new year.
