Dear friends, it is the ninth day of the fourth month of the year again, which is an important day in our old Northeast, called "Closed Day", that is, "Sending the Poor Day". Speaking of this day, many people may not be familiar with it, but in our older generation, it was very particular. There are some taboos on this day, today let's talk about these three things that must not be committed, let's have a long experience together. Blessed people, leave a sentence in the comment area: "One shun and one hundred shun, the Bodhisattva blesses", for themselves, for their children, and for the whole family to receive blessings.
1. Don't go out on closed days, and be particular about it at home
On the ninth day of the fourth lunar month, we have an old saying of "sending the poor behind closed doors". This means that you should stay at home as much as possible and go out less on this day. Some elderly people are so particular that they will even close the doors and windows tightly, symbolizing that they will be shut out of poverty and unhappiness and not let them enter the house.
If you have to go out on this day, be careful not to stay outside for too long and try to get home early. Because as the old saying goes, the poverty outside on this day is heavy, and it is easy to bring it back.
Second, the cleaning is more important and can not be moved
On the day of sending the poor, another important custom is the "big cleaning". This is not an ordinary sweeping and window cleaning, this sweeping is particular, and it cannot be moved casually. You have to clean up thoroughly from the inside out, from top to bottom, and sweep all the dust and garbage out of the house.
There is another detail here, that is, when sweeping the floor, it is necessary to sweep it out from the house, symbolizing the exhaustion of the air. If you sweep from the outside in, won't you sweep the poor into the house? Besides, the garbage after sweeping must be thrown away and not placed at the door of the house, so that the poor can be regarded as really sending the poor away.
3. Don't borrow or lend, and the money is safe
In the eyes of our older generation, on the ninth day of the fourth lunar month, we must not lend money to others, nor can we borrow money from others. On this day, the money is "closed", which means that one's money should stay in one's own hands and not flow out.
Why? Because as the old saying goes, the money lent out on this day may follow the poverty, and there will be financial difficulties in the coming year. On the other hand, borrowing money from others may also bring trouble. Therefore, on this day, let's live our own small life in a down-to-earth manner, without borrowing or borrowing, and trying to be auspicious.
Having said so much, everyone should also understand that although the ninth day of the fourth month is ordinary, there is a lot of attention in our traditional customs. Sending the poor behind closed doors, cleaning up, not borrowing or lending, these three things must be remembered, don't make taboos. After all, these customs are the wisdom left by our ancestors, let's follow them, ask for peace of mind, and live a smooth life.
I hope today's sharing can give you more understanding of the ninth day of the fourth month. If you find it helpful, remember to like and collect it, and you can also share it with more friends to inherit our traditional customs together.
