On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, this day is not only to "break five", but also to "catch up with the five poor", and it is a good day to welcome the "God of Wealth of the Five Roads".
Generally speaking, from Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the new year, there are many rules and taboos, such as not cooking new meals, saying unlucky things, sweeping and sprinkling water, and not opening shops. But by the fifth day of the new year, all the taboos were broken. Therefore, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, every household has to set off firecrackers. While avoiding evil spirits and avoiding disasters, it is also necessary to drive the "five poor" away from home. "Five poverty" refers to "intellectual poverty, academic poverty, literary poverty, life poverty, and friendship poverty". In addition to setting off firecrackers, it is also necessary to clean up and clean up garbage and bad luck from the inside of the house. Of course, the most important thing on the fifth day of the new year is to welcome the "God of Wealth", praying for a wide range of financial resources in the new year and a surplus at the end of the year.
