Why do we need to sweep the dust during the New Year?

Every year, from the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month to the New Year's Eve, the Chinese people call this period of time "Welcoming Spring Day" or "Dust Sweeping Day".
Sweeping the dust is the year-end cleaning, which is called "sweeping the house" in the north and "dusting" in the south. Sweeping the house before the Spring Festival is a traditional custom of the Chinese people. Every time the Spring Festival comes, every household has to clean the environment, wash various utensils, take apart and wash bedding and curtains, sweep the courtyard, dust off dust and cobwebs, and dredge open and underground ditches.
From north to south, there is an atmosphere of joyfully cleaning up and welcoming the New Year in a clean manner.
The purpose of sweeping the house is to get rid of the old and welcome the new, and to remove bad luck. After the Little New Year, there are only six or seven days left until the Spring Festival, and preparations for the New Year seem more intense.

On the Meaning of Anmen in the Almanac

1. The meaning of Anmen in the old Huangli calendar
Installing a door is an important step in building a house. In daily life, "Anmen" refers to the installation of doors in houses and other works. It also refers to the installation of doors in new houses and the modification of doors in old houses.
In the old almanac, Anmen refers to placing the main door frame in the ecliptic calendar. From this we can see that there is not much difference between the Anmen in the old almanac and the Anmen that people usually refer to.
2. The importance of Lao Huangli Anmen
The ancients believed that there were three important steps in building a house, and an auspicious day had to be chosen to proceed, otherwise disasters would easily occur. The three steps are breaking ground, installing doors and raising beams, which is enough to show the importance of installing doors.
