Different customs in different places on the fifth day of the first lunar month:

1. Northwest Shanxi: Traditionally, before the sun rises on this day, people would lift up the kang mat and sweep some of the kang soil and send it outside. They would also fire cannons, burn incense, and offer paper. They would cut images of people out of colored paper, and children would take them to the streets to exchange with each other. Giving your own paper figure to others is called "sending away the poor daughter-in-law"; exchanging someone else's paper figure for yours is called "getting a blessed person."
2. Shandong: "Horse Day", and the weather of this day is used to predict the fortune of mules and horses in the year. It is also called "Po Wu" and "God of Wealth Day", so businesses like to open on this day.
3. Southwest Shandong: On New Year’s Eve, wrap a pair of scissors with a string and place them under the bed to hold them down. They can only be used on the fifth day of the New Year.
4. In many areas of the south, people worship the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the first lunar month. Gu Lu of the Qing Dynasty recorded in "Qing Jia Lu": "The fifth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the Road God. Golden gongs and firecrackers, sacrificial offerings and wine are all set out. People must get up early to welcome the God first for the sake of good fortune. This is called "welcoming the Road God."
5. Shanghai: According to the old custom, at midnight on the fourth day of the first lunar month, people would prepare sacrificial animals, cakes, fruits, incense, candles, etc., and they would also ring gongs and drums, burn incense and worship, and respectfully worship the God of Wealth.
6. Tianjin: The fifth day of the first lunar month is called "Po Wu". On this day, every household eats dumplings, and the chopping board must make a clanging sound so that the neighbors can hear it, to show that they are chopping "villains". Tianjin people attribute all the unpleasant things to "villains", and only by getting rid of the "villains" can they have good luck and success. Setting off firecrackers on the fifth night of the New Year also means warding off evil and avoiding disasters.
7. Linqing: The family holds a ceremony to send off the family hall. Before daybreak, people had already cooked dumplings, offered sacrifices, burned paper, and kowtowed. They then put away the ancestral tablets and waited for three cannon shots. All the men in the clan gathered together with incense, paper, and firecrackers, and lined up to visit the graves, to send their ancestors home.
8. Yinan: The family hall is cleared and some people also eat fried cakes and sweep the yard. It is said that sweeping the yard on this day will not attract ants. Kenli, Shouguang and other places set off firecrackers on this day and families have dinner together to mark the passing of the New Year. 9. Linyi and Zoucheng: Women do not go out, comb their hair or touch needles and thread on this day. It is said that touching needles and thread will attract scorpions and centipedes. People usually eat dumplings at noon on this day, but they can also eat noodles. There is a saying that "If you eat noodles on the fifth day, you will get one dan of harvest per acre."
