(1) Sending away poverty: The sixth day of the first lunar month is the day of the horse, which means sending away the ghost of poverty. According to legend, the God of Poverty was Jiang Ziya's wife. In order to prevent the God of Poverty from entering the house during the Spring Festival, people hang red notes on the door to ward off the God of Poverty. "Sending away poverty" on the sixth day of the first lunar month is also a very distinctive seasonal custom among the ancient Chinese people. It means to send away the poor ghost (the god of poverty), also known as the "poor son".
(2) Opening of business: On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, most businesses and restaurants begin to open for business and set off firecrackers, creating a scene that is no less lively than New Year’s Eve. The sixth day of the first lunar month was the day when all businesses, big and small, would "open for business" in the old days, and they would set off firecrackers before opening to indicate good luck.
(3) Yifei: The term Yifei is relatively unfamiliar to many people, but in fact, this term has already appeared in ancient times. Because the sixth day is Horse Day, business and work start on this day. On this day, all the dirt in the house should be cleaned up, which is called "挹肥". It also represents that the Chinese working people start going to the fields on this day to prepare for spring ploughing.
