The second day of the Lunar New Year has passed, and the next is the third day of the first month.
First of all, let's talk about this "sweep", the custom of the third year of junior high school is to clean the house, and the third day of junior high school is also a good day for cleaning the house. In addition to cleaning up the sanitary corners and garbage in the room, we also have to clean up some unlucky things, such as old things and dead corners. In the cleaning of the previous year, there was a rule that has been handed down to this day, that is, three to give up, four not to move. The three important things refer to the discarding of old things, garbage and dead corners in the process of cleaning. First of all, old objects symbolize the unhappiness and troubles of the past year, and keeping them will make the negative energy persist and affect the fortune of the new year. Therefore, we should be brave enough to abandon the baggage of the past and give ourselves a chance to start over. Finally, we are told that we must not miss any corner when cleaning, especially the places that are usually difficult to clean. And this "two don'ts" means that on the third day of the Lunar New Year, you can't break things and say some unlucky things. First of all, breaking something on the first day of the new year may break good luck. Secondly, during the Spring Festival, you should not say some unlucky words, such as death, illness, etc., and you must keep a pure heart.
The wisdom left by these ancestors is not only interesting but also allegorical. I hope that everyone can follow these traditional customs and make our lives better.
