The Hakka people begin to "enter the New Year's Boundary" on the 24th day of the 24th day of the 12th month of the lunar calendar, entering the Preparatory Stage of the New Year for preparing New Year goods, welcoming the New Year, and sending Gifts, while the fifth day of the first month of the first month is the day of "leaving the New Year Boundary", after which both the soldiers and farmers, as well as the industry and commerce, will begin their own livelihood.
The title of Hakka in different places for "out of the year boundary": The Hakka in western Fujian are mostly called "Kai Xiaozheng". The Hakka in The Xingning and Shenzhen Longgang areas are called "Out of the Year" or "Out of the Year". Chaoshan Hakka is often called "out of the year driving" or "out of the annual leave". Taiwanese Hakka is commonly known as the fifth day of the New Year as "separated", "open New Year shelf", "out of the Year hanging".
When the Hakka family in western Fujian "opened a small zheng" on the fifth day of the New Year, every household should once again worship the gods and set off firecrackers as if they were "new zheng" on the first day of the new year. The Hakka in western Fujian believe that the stove king went to heaven on December 24, and the first five "returned home". Therefore, every household prepared the cattle of Fengmeng on the first night, and at dawn on the morning of the fifth day of the new year, they burned incense and lit candles, and fired firecrackers to welcome the return of the stove king.
Hakka people generally start from Chinese New Year's Eve (some even start from the beginning of the new year), burn incense and light candles every morning and evening, and set off firecrackers until the night of the fifth day of the first lunar month. Some Hakka areas in western Fujian and Taiwan also "burned the paper in front of the door" on this day, tearing down the curtain paper hanging on the gate and burning it, which means that "talking about the New Year" ends here. On this day, the farming began to carry out sporadic agricultural activities; those who opened shops and did business opened the market, and the Hakka rural polder market began to become more and more lively.
