How did the custom of sweeping the house in the twelfth lunar month come about?In ancient times, the general cleaning of the Spring Festival was called "sweeping the year", which originated from a religious ritual of ancient people to drive away diseases and epidemics. Later it gradually evolved into a year-end cleaning. It is a traditional custom of our people. In the north it is called "sweeping the house" and in the south it is called "dusting". 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. In the north, cleaning the house in the twelfth month of winter means just dusting and sweeping, but in the south, tables, chairs, benches, and even large bunk beds are often carried to the riverside or well to be cleaned. After sweeping the house, the whole family will start preparing New Year's goods, such as buying incense, candles, paper codes, offerings, writing couplets, cutting window flowers, buying hanging money, New Year pictures, and firecrackers. From north to south, the atmosphere is filled with joy and enthusiasm to clean up and welcome the New Year in a clean manner. |
