On the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, why send the poor?
Folklore
The poor ghost is the son of the ancient emperor
however
He has a quirk
He had to pull a hole in any good clothes before he could wear them
pardonable
Everybody called him "Poor Boy."
According to Mr. Qian Zhongshu's "Pipe Cone Compilation", the people of the Tang Dynasty on the mainland began to popularly send "poor ghosts", but only called "ghosts" and not "gods". After the Ming and Qing dynasties, the "poor ghost" was revered as the "poor god".
The custom of sending the poor was quite popular in the Tang Dynasty, and the great literary scholar Han Yu once wrote a "Sending the Poor Text", which said: "(The master) three poor ghosts told him: 'Wen Zi Xing has a day, I have the grace of sending funds, and the son and so on are interested in doing it'? The Tang poet Yao He also wrote the poem "Three Poems for Sending the Poor on obscure days", the first of which is Yun: Every year to this day, liquor is worshiped in the street. Thousands of households look at thousands of doors, and no one does not send them to the poor. From the last two sentences, we can see that the custom of sending the poor was quite common at that time. After the Song Dynasty, the custom of sending the poor was still popular. Qing Ren Yu Quyuan's "Tea Room Three Bills and Send poor ghosts" recorded the words of the former dynasty people: Advise Lang Jun's little lady to send poor ghosts in the air.

Before the opening of the market, it is forbidden for women with foreign surnames to visit their homes, and when the "market opens", all the Spring Festival taboos will end and everything will return to normal.
