Sweeping the dust On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, sweep the house: From the 24th to New Year's Eve, the Chinese people call this period of time "Welcome the Spring Day" or "Sweeping the Dust Day". "Sweeping the dust" means the year-end cleaning. Every household has to clean the environment, clear various utensils, take apart and wash bedding and curtains, sweep the courtyard, dust off dust and cobwebs, and dredge open and underground ditches on this day.
3. Eat stove candy
As the saying goes, "On the 23rd, sugar melons are sticky." During the Little New Year, people will buy sugar melons, Guandong sugar, sesame candy and other offerings, praying to the Kitchen God to have a sweeter mouth and to say good things to the gods.
4. Bathing
Both adults and children need to take a bath and have a haircut. There is a saying among the people that "Whether you have money or not, you should get a haircut during the New Year." In Luliang area, people pay attention to washing feet on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month. That evening, the mother-in-law and the children all washed their feet with boiling water.
5. Marriage
After the Little New Year, people believe that the gods have gone to heaven and nothing is taboo. There is no need to choose a date to marry a wife or a daughter, which is called a hasty marriage. There are a lot of wedding ceremonies held until the end of the year.
