After the Kitchen God Festival, preparations for welcoming the New Year officially begin. Every year from the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month to New Year's Eve, the Han people call this period of time "Welcoming Spring Day" or "Dust Sweeping Day". Sweeping the dust is the year-end cleaning, which is called "sweeping the house" in the north and "dusting" in the south.
Sweeping the dust not only means to drive away diseases and pray for good health in the new year, but also reflects the emotional desire to get rid of the "old" (dust) and start the new. This custom sends a signal to people that the New Year is a busy atmosphere. This custom reflects the Chinese people's tradition of loving cleanliness and hygiene, embodies people's good expectations, and still maintains tenacious vitality today.
Sweeping the house before the Spring Festival is a traditional custom of the Chinese people. Every time the Spring Festival comes, 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. From north to south, there is an atmosphere of joyfully cleaning up and welcoming the New Year in a clean manner. Legend has it that every person has a Three Corpse God attached to his or her body. He or she often reports tidbits to the Jade Emperor and speaks ill of the world. Within a very short period of time, the Jade Emperor received 99,999 secret reports from him, saying that people on earth were planning a rebellion against Heaven. The Jade Emperor was furious after seeing this, and immediately summoned the Three Corpse Gods. He ordered him to write the crimes on the walls of the houses of those who had spoken ill of the Jade Emperor, and then let spiders make a large web and hang it under the eaves. The Jade Emperor also ordered Wang Linggong to go down to the mortal world on New Year's Eve and execute all the families that had been marked by the Three Corpse Gods. When the Three Corpse Gods saw that their conspiracy was about to succeed and they could monopolize the beautiful human world, they quickly descended to the earth and marked the walls of every household. The Kitchen God discovered the conspiracy of the Three Corpse Gods and hurriedly called the Kitchen Gods of each household to discuss countermeasures: starting from the day of sending off the Kitchen God, every household should clean the house thoroughly before New Year's Eve. When Wang Linggong was ordered to go down to the mortal world to inspect, he found that every household was clean and the people were law-abiding and hardworking. The Jade Emperor learned from Wang Linggong and the Kitchen God that the Three Corpse Gods had wronged a good person, and he was furious, so he imprisoned the Three Corpse Gods forever. From then on, the kind-hearted Kitchen God was supported by everyone. Every year on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, people would worship the Kitchen God, and sweeping the house became a folk custom. People sweep their houses now because after living in them for a year, the New Year is coming soon and they need to clean the house in preparation for a clean New Year.
