Customs of Spring Festival in Taiwan Province Province

The Spring Festival customs in Taiwan Province Province are as follows:

1, clean

Traditionally, people think that every household has good luck hidden in it. Sprinkling water, sweeping the floor and taking out garbage will drive away the god of wealth and take away wealth and good luck.

As the saying goes, whether the old year is happy or not, we should clean up our environment and mood, welcome the arrival of the new year, create a new atmosphere and make the new year better.

But don't sweep the floor during the New Year in China, so as not to drive away the God of Wealth. Besides, garbage can't be thrown away. You must wait until the fifth day of the lunar new year to do a general cleaning.
