This custom is spread all over the country, especially in rural areas, and is more valued. Wearing new clothes on the 22nd day of the lunar month means that the new year is coming, and people should abandon the troubles of the past and welcome a new beginning.
In ancient times, due to the difficult living conditions, people rarely had the opportunity to wear new clothes.

On this day, every family prepares a new set of clothes for their children to wear during the Spring Festival, which means healthy growth and academic success. And the adults will also put on new clothes to show the new year.
