What to do to get rid of bad luck

This is exquisite -

On the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, it is said that a good wish can be said to "eliminate bad luck". In fact, some folk sayings now seem a bit outdated, even confusing. But it cannot be denied that these traditional folk customs not only contain the good wishes of Chinese to pray for blessings and avoid disasters, but also the precious genes that are passed down from generation to generation in everyone's blood.

The fourth day of the Lunar New Year

What other traditional customs are there?

Let's learn about it with Yi Xiaobu——

Traditionally, the fourth day of the first lunar month is the day to greet the gods, while the twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month is the day to send the gods. As the saying goes, "Sending God early, receiving God late", therefore, according to custom, sending God should be in the early morning, but receiving God should be around 16 o'clock. In the past, every household prepared livestock and fruits and vegetables, and burned incense, gold paper, and firecrackers to show their welcome.

There is also a legend in the north: the first four kings want to "check the household registration", so it is not appropriate to leave home, every household must stay at home, prepare rich fruits, burn incense and light candles and cast firecrackers to show welcome.

On the evening of the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, the general merchants will also pick up the five-way god of wealth, and the market will open on the fifth day of the first month to make a fortune. It is said that the fifth road is on the fifth day of the first year, but why is it said that it is on the night of the fourth day of the first year? It turned out that the fifth day of the first year was the birthday of the popular god of wealth, because everyone was eager for profit, they all wanted to meet the god of wealth a little earlier than others, so this time was a little earlier, even in advance to the evening of the fourth day of the first year, called "grabbing the road head", also known as "receiving the god of wealth".

In addition, on the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, the whole family also eats "folding luo" together. The so-called folding is a smorgasbord of meals left over from a few days to clean up the New Year goods.

Family members gather together to eat, which also contains the meaning of thrift and thrift. Good Food for the New Year, many banquets, and when celebrating with joy, we cannot blindly waste luxury, and the fine tradition of thrift and thrift must be passed on!

On this day, the whole family dusted indoors, swept the floor of the house, and piled up garbage in the courtyard to prepare for "throwing away the poor". Sweeping away all the old things in your home also means throwing away all the "poverty" and welcoming new things that represent wealth in the new year.
