5. Do not sweep the floor on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, especially in the area around Qiongbei in Hainan, people think that sweeping the floor on the first day of the Lunar New Year will sweep away the family's wealth, and there will be no wealth to make throughout the year. In the countryside, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, incense is enshrined, and every household sets off firecrackers, and the firecracker paper is spread red everywhere, which is very spectacular. If you think the house is too dirty, you must sweep it from the door to the inside, commonly known as "making money".

The original meaning of the word "year" is to congratulate the elderly on the New Year, including prostrating to the elderly, congratulating them on a prosperous new year, and greeting them with a good life. When you meet relatives and friends of the same generation, you should also give gifts and congratulations.

In ancient times, if there were too many relatives and friends in the neighborhood, it was difficult to visit the door, so that the servants were sent to bring business cards to pay New Year's greetings, called "flying posts", and a red paper bag was pasted in front of each house, and the words "receiving blessings" were written on it, which was used to bear and release the flying posts. This custom began in the upper class of the Song Dynasty. The Qing people's "Yantai Moon Order" describes the Beijing New Year's Festival:

It's the moon, ** fly, empty car go. "Be fashionable. Large households set up a special "door book" to record the guests' exchanges and flying films, and the first page of the door book is more than four virtual "pro-arrivals".

A hundred-year-old lady lives in a hundred-year-old lane; One is said to be rich and old, living on Yuanbao Street; One is said to be a very noble person, living in the archway of the university; One is said to be blessed to come to the old man and live in Wufu Building. To beg for glamour with Tu Geeli. To this day, the Spring Festival gift New Year's cards and New Year's cards are the legacy of this ancient practice of sending flying posts to each other.

It is customary for high-ranking scholars to congratulate each other with their names. Zhou Hui of the Song Dynasty said in the "Qingbo Magazine": "During the Song Yuanyou period, the New Year's festival often used servants to hold the name of the thorn."

At that time, scholars and doctors traveled extensively, and if they went around to pay New Year's greetings, it would take both time and energy, so some friends who were not close to each other did not go in person, but sent servants to take a kind of card cut from plum blossom paper that was two inches wide and three inches long, with the name, address and congratulatory words of the recipient written on it. In the Ming Dynasty, people used to pay homage instead of paying New Year's greetings. Wen Zhengming, an outstanding painter and poet of the Ming Dynasty, described in the poem "Greeting the New Year":

Don't ask for a meeting, but an encyclical, and the famous paper is full of covers; I also threw a few pieces of paper with others, and the world hated Jane rather than false." The "famous thorns" and "famous confessions" mentioned here are the origins of today's New Year's cards. New Year's cards are convenient and useful for connecting feelings and exchanging greetings, and are still popular today.

About from the Qing Dynasty, the New Year's greetings and the form of "group worship" was added, the Qing Dynasty Yilan Lord said in the "Side Hat Yu Tan": "Beijing at the beginning of the year, routine group worship, to link the New Year's friendship, to Dun hometown", "every year by the year by the year of the book red order, food banquet, for the day of joy".

With the development of the times, the custom of New Year's greetings has been constantly added with new contents and forms. Now in addition to following the previous way of greeting the New Year, people have also risen up ceremonial telegram New Year's greetings and ** New Year's greetings.

However, from the first day of the first lunar month to the fifth day of the first lunar month, most families do not accept women, which is called "taboo". Only men can go out to pay New Year's greetings, while women can not go out until after the sixth day of the first lunar month. The New Year's greetings will be extended for a long time, until around the 15th day of the first lunar month.

In the evening, it is called "Night Festival" when you go to people's homes to pay New Year's greetings, and after the tenth day of the first month, it is called "Lantern Festival", so there is a joke of "having the heart to pay New Year's greetings, and it is not too late to eat cold".

If for some reason you fail to follow the routine and make up for it later, it is called it.

Greetings to old age".

In the eyes of Hainan people, all are artificially made according to people's will and wishes, so in the Hainan dialect, all behaviors are preceded by the word "do", such as doing Qingming, being in-laws (that is, getting married), and the northerners "celebrate the New Year", and the Hainan dialect is called "doing the New Year". It should be noted that "doing the year" refers to the "old year". And the New Year's Day mentioned in the north, Hainan is called "New Year".

However, in the countryside of Hainan, the "New Year" is not to be "done" in the New Year.
