New Year's Eve is bad luck and good luck throughout the year, and the cleaning symbolizes that all the good and bad experiences of the past year are cleared to make room for good luck in the coming year.
Today we are going to talk about what should be thrown away in exchange for good luck next year. The first step in the New Year is to get rid of the worn-out clothes that are idle at home.
Because of the scarcity of life in the past, many elderly people will patiently save every piece of old clothes they wore in the past, and they are neither willing to throw them away nor wear them out, and this old-fashioned hoarding pattern will be passed on to the next generation.
When we complain that our parents like to accumulate useless things, we often have this similar problem, such as although the clothes are very old, they are not broken, and there will be a psychological burden when we throw away the old clothes.
When tidying up the clothes in the New Year's cleaning, you might as well throw away the old clothes that you didn't wear in the past, or put them in the box of the old clothes.
The second step in the New Year is to throw away the discarded household items at home.
Home is our safe haven, and when we return home, we are most able to relax and unwind. If every time you return home, you will see some discarded household items that affect your mood in many places, and you will feel very uncomfortable.
For example, at home, there are often all kinds of small utensils with missing arms and short legs, cracks, and humidifiers that can no longer be used.
For example, if there is only one broom head left, the broom with the pole bent off, it is not worth the loss to spend time and energy to buy another pole, and there are spare supplies at home, so this waste that is reluctant to throw away and occupies space is idle.
These things symbolize all the hurt and sadness we have felt at home in the past year, and to clear them out is to regrow the crack in our hearts that has been torn apart by the hurt of our family.
Welcome the new year with a new look, throw away all the feelings of wanting to hate and not hate, and scolding or not scolding last year, and give yourself freedom.
In the New Year, the third step is to throw away the dishes that are torn in the house.
Dishes are an essential tool for our daily meals, and every year there are dishes that tear due to accidental dropping. After a year of saving, these dishes have become a garbage dump in the home that cannot be ignored, and they are all dust.
Cleaning the dishes is a big task when we are cleaning, and how to pick out the dishes that will still be used and throw away the dishes that are no longer used symbolizes how we will treat ourselves in the new year.
Whether to continue to compromise ourselves, or to clean up those old ways that are not suitable for our current self, so that we can live more comfortably and happily, these thoughts will slowly take shape when we clean up the old dishes.
The fourth step in the New Year is to throw away the cypress branches and holly branches that were planted in the door last year.
These two branches are known as auspicious branches in our traditional culture, and they are inserted in the door to imply the meaning of driving away disasters and evil spirits, repelling mosquitoes and insects, and keeping peace.
When we plant cypress trees and holly on our doors, we often place our expectations on the good things for our family, who are evergreen all year round, representing that the blessed person can live a safe and healthy life in the new year.
In the new year, we should throw away the cypress trees and holly of the past and plant new branches, which means that we will throw away all kinds of injuries and illnesses in the past year, and accumulate an auspicious start for the health and safety of the coming year.
In addition to bad luck in the New Year, the fifth step is to discard last year's couplet.
It is not only firecrackers that can drive away the New Year Beast, the New Year Beast is afraid of red, so the couplet is designed with a red background, and the various blessings written on the couplet represent our good expectations for 2024.
After a year, the Nian Beast is about to regain its strength and come to the world to cause trouble, and we need to scare the Nian Beast with new couplets to ensure that we have a smooth sailing in the coming year.
In the New Year, the sixth step is to throw away the broken lanterns.
The shape and color of the lantern symbolize the unity and integrity of all our family members, and represent our beautiful expectations for the family and the joy of family reunion.
The red lantern has such a rich meaning that if we hang the broken lantern in 2023 on the occasion of the New Year in 2024, we will spoil the beautiful meaning of the lantern.
In the New Year, the seventh step is to throw away the broken storage box at home.
In the past year, we have generated all kinds of miscellaneous items every day, and sometimes we have just finished unpacking the parcel and there is something that needs to be packed in a box, so we take the parcel box to load something.
The courier box that had been filled with things for a whole year was also dilapidated, and it was originally just a temporary worker, but I didn't expect it to be a year.
In the New Year, the eighth step is to get rid of all kinds of useless packaging bags and all kinds of dust and oil stains from the house.
After buying something, the merchant will give away a bag, many of these bags are very good-looking, good quality, after a year of accumulation, the bags that used to be good-looking are also outdated, at this time, in order to make room for a clean home, you have to throw away the outdated garbage bags.
Dust and grease are all the grievances and grievances that we have accumulated in the past year, and the moment we throw all these things away, our hearts are emptied, and we throw garbage into the garbage heap, which means that we will throw away all the anger we have received in the company in the past year.
Neither regard him as an old disease, nor let him have an impact on us, one or two thousand pounds represents our control over our own lives and contempt for our enemies.
