1, welcome the god of wealth
The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the day to welcome the god of wealth, and on this day, sacrificial activities are held. However, most of the activities are simplified now, and tributes and incense sticks are usually placed in front of the statue of the God of Wealth, praying that the God of Wealth will bring wealth to himself in the new year.
It is said that it is divided into, the God of Wealth, the God of Wealth, and the God of Wealth, so there is also a saying that "the fifth day of the first month worships and welcomes the door", which means to collect the wealth of the fifth road in the southeast and northwest.
2, send five jobs
The so-called "sending five poor people" means throwing away bad things at home, which also means "unlucky", so as to bring wealth and good luck to the family. In the past, the custom was not only not to sweep the floor on New Year's Day, but also not to take out the garbage from the second day to the fourth day, which meant gathering wealth and praying. On the fifth day, you can take out the garbage, so there is a saying of "sending the poor"
Step 3: Clean
There is a custom to clean the house on the fifth day of the first month, that is, to give the family a general cleaning. Because cleaning is generally not allowed before the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month to the fifth day of the first lunar month, sweeping the floor can only be done indoors. Garbage can only be placed in the corner of the house first, and it is not until the fifth day of the first month that the garbage at home can be swept out.
Step 4 Eat jiaozi
Of course, the most important thing on New Year's Eve is to eat jiaozi, commonly known as "pinching your mouth". Eating jiaozi on Friday carries the implication that people expect Geely to be happy. In jiaozi, a traditional food custom, paying attention to this day, the stuffing must be chopped by itself, which means "chopping the villain", cutting off all bad things and removing all bad luck, which indicates that everything will be smooth and the financial resources will be abundant in the new year.
Step 5 open the market
During the old custom Spring Festival, large and small shops closed together from the beginning of the New Year, but opened on the fifth day of the first month. People are used to taking the fifth day of the first month as the birthday of the god of wealth, thinking that choosing this day to open the market will definitely make a fortune. It is also said that a person's fortune for one year is determined by the god of wealth, and this year, no matter what the business is, it will be very prosperous.
