What is the origin of the custom of sweeping the house in the twelfth lunar month?"Lü Lan Fa" states: "On the New Year's Eve, drums are beaten to drive away plague demons, which is called Zhu Chu, also known as Mu Nan." Later, it gradually evolved into the year-end sanitation cleaning. By the Tang Dynasty, the custom of "sweeping the year" was prevalent. Song Dynasty Wu Zimu's "Dream of the Southern Song Dynasty" records: "The end of December is called the New Year's Eve. No matter how big or small the family is, they all sweep the doors and windows, remove dust and dirt, clean the courtyards and doors, change door gods, hang up Zhong Kui, nail peach charms, and paste spring plaques to pray for peace in the new year." Qing Dynasty Gu Lu's "Qing Jia Lu. December. Beating Dust": "When the twelfth month is about to end, choose a day in the calendar (referring to the calendar) to sweep the house and remove dust and dirt from the courtyard and doors. If it is on the 23rd, 24th or 27th, it is called beating dust." Qing Dynasty Cai Yun's poem "Wu Yuqian" says: "Spring is coming to the thatched cottage and things are happy. Cleaning up the dust in the house is called cleaning up the residue." "Sui Shi Miscellaneous Matters" says: "On the 24th of December, sweep the house. For anything else, no matter what is done in the calendar, there are many weddings, which is called the day of messy silk."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. |
