In the traditional Chinese Spring Festival, the fifth day of the lunar new year is also called "Breaking Five Festival". In Chinese New Year customs, on the fifth day of the lunar new year, it is customary to receive the God of Wealth and send off the God of Poverty, drive away the five poor, and pick up a broom to sweep away the garbage, expressing the beautiful wishes of dispelling evil, avoiding disasters, and praying for blessings. 1、 In ancient times, there were many superstitions and taboos during the Chinese New Year, such as not being allowed to cook with raw rice and women not being allowed to sew with needles. After the fifth day of junior high school, these taboos are lifted, hence it is called "breaking the fifth day". Traditionally, it is customary to wait until after the "breaking the five festivals" before officially opening for business. If there are any changes to the store or the addition or removal of counters, it is usually decided on the sixth day of the lunar new year. 2、 According to Chinese folklore, the fifth day of the first lunar month is known as the "birthday of the God of Wealth", and people in the south worship the God of Wealth on this day. According to old customs, shops of all sizes close from the first day of the Chinese New Year, and on the fifth day of the first lunar month, every household reopens. Everyone wakes up at the sound of the rooster crowing, sets off firecrackers, hangs red cloth on the signboard, and drinks the God of Wealth wine together. There must be a large carp in the sacrifice, and "carp" sounds like "profit", so the fish is called "yuanbao fish". 3、 On the fifth day of the lunar new year, when welcoming the God of Wealth, it is also customary to send the God of Poverty. There are still many places where the custom of chasing the "Five Poor" is popular. "Five Poor" refers to the five types of poor gods (ghosts): intellectual poverty, academic poverty, literary poverty, destiny poverty, and social poverty. The simplest way to "send the poor" is to set off firecrackers in the early morning and pour out the garbage outside the door. This custom is also known as "sending the poor soil", which means offering sacrifices to the poor god. 4、 There is a custom of sweeping houses on the fifth day of the first lunar month, which is to conduct a thorough cleaning of the house. Because from the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month to the 5th day of the first lunar month, it is generally not allowed to clean, and sweeping can only be done indoors. Garbage can only be placed in the corners of the house first, and on the 5th day of the first lunar month, the garbage in the house can be swept out of the door. 5、 Eating dumplings is an ancient and unchanging custom in many northern regions. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, every household eats dumplings, and when chopping the filling, the cutting board must make a tinkling sound for the neighbors to hear. If eating dumplings on New Year's Eve is more of a symbol of reunion, then eating dumplings on the fifth day of the lunar new year has a different meaning: eating dumplings on the fifth day of the lunar new year is commonly known as "pinching the mouth of a villain", which is said to prevent the harm of slander by villains.
