Four taboos to sweep garbage out, gather wealth and keep the New Year to welcome the New Year
Before Chinese New Year's Eve, every household will carry out a big cleaning to clean the house and welcome the arrival of the new year with bright windows. However, on Chinese New Year's Eve, after pasting the Spring Festival and Fu characters, you should pay attention: avoid taking out garbage and sweeping the floor!
Because in the traditional concept, this has the meaning of sweeping wealth out of the door! If you have to sweep the floor, you have to sweep it from the outside in! In this way, it can symbolize the accumulation of wealth and the preservation of wealth! Therefore, on Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone should try to avoid throwing things out, after all, no one wants to sweep away the wealth that has been gathered so hard!
Chinese New Year's Eve "two avoidances" must not be forgotten
Avoid drinking gruel
The table on Chinese New Year's Eve should be hearty and varied. Although gruel is easy to digest, it is clearly not appropriate in this time of abundance and contentment. For a good omen of the New Year, let's prepare some dishes with a more flavorful and meaningful flavor.
Avoid eating pickles
Although pickles are appetizing and deliving, they are not popular on the table on Chinese New Year's Eve. Because it is traditionally seen as a symbol of poverty, it is incompatible with the festive and affluent atmosphere of Chinese New Year's Eve. Let's welcome the new year with more sumptuous dishes!
Summary: Although the exquisiteness and customs of Chinese New Year's Eve seem cumbersome, what they contain is the yearning and pursuit of a better life. On this special night, let's observe these traditions and customs, pray for the blessings of our families, and welcome the arrival of the new year. May all your wishes come true and all the best in the new year!
