Legend has it that in ancient times, Nuwa created the world, first bringing six kinds of animals to the world: chickens, dogs, pigs, sheep, cows and horses, and then human beings. Therefore, the first six days of the new year are celebrated in this order, that is, from the first day of the first month to the sixth day of the first month, each day corresponds to an animal. On the sixth day of the first lunar month, it is the turn of the horse, as the protagonist of this day, symbolizing the indomitable spirit and vigorous vitality of the horse.
Therefore, we will say that the sixth day of the first lunar month is "Horse Day". This name has a belly of stories, and it comes from the daily life of our ancestors. On this day, farmers will begin to prepare for the work of spring ploughing, which means that a new round of agricultural production will begin.

Let's talk about the terrible "fat" custom on the sixth day of the first month. As the old saying goes, from the first day of the first month to the fifth day of the first month, every household does not take out the garbage, otherwise it will take away all the good luck. In this way, until the sixth day of the new year, people will clean up the accumulated feces, and they will sincerely worship the gods in the toilet to clean up all the dirt accumulated over the past year. To do so is to throw away all the old misfortunes and bad luck and hope for good luck in the new year.

This is quite in tune with the New Year's momentum of "saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new", that is, I hope that in the new year, all aspects will be renewed.
