What day is the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month?

The twelfth month of the lunar calendar [La Yue] is the common name for the eve of the Chinese New Year on the 27th day. It is a traditional custom of the Han Chinese Spring Festival. A Han Chinese proverb says, "On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, slaughter chickens and go to the big market." On this day, every household slaughters their own poultry and goes to the market to purchase goods. Compared with the market on ordinary days where the main purpose is to buy what is in short supply and sell what is in surplus, the market on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month is mainly for buying and selling New Year items, such as firecrackers, spring couplets, incense and candles, burning paper, beef and mutton, various gifts for children, and various head ornaments for girls. On this day, markets everywhere are very busy and lively.

What are the customs and habits on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month?

In the traditional Han customs, people take baths and wash clothes on these two days to get rid of the bad luck of the year and prepare for the New Year. There is a saying in Beijing that "wash away illness on the 27th and wash away dirt on the 28th." Bathing on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month is to "wash away blessings and fortune."
The New Year's song about slaughtering chickens and going to the big market goes: "On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, slaughter chickens and go to the big market." On this day, in addition to slaughtering their own poultry, they also have to go to the shops and make centralized purchases. Although the "going to stores and markets" during the Spring Festival also involve trading and buying what is in short supply and selling what is in surplus, they are more about buying and selling New Year items, such as firecrackers, spring couplets, sacred horses, incense and candles, burning paper, beef and mutton, various gifts for children, and various head flower ornaments for girls. The items needed for the Spring Festival are being purchased, so the markets everywhere are very busy and lively on this day.
