    We have always been keen on metaphysics around people, metaphysics is feng shui and superstition, our country has a very ancient history, and most of them are in the feudal society, the level of science and technology at that time is relatively low, so people will be a lot of unexplainable things and some ghosts and gods interconnected, there are a lot of handed down the accuracy and inaccuracy, that is, the proverbs and some ancestral rules. There are many sayings that children under the age of 10 cannot sweep the floor at night, for example, not only children under the age of 10 cannot sweep the floor at night, but adults cannot sweep the floor at night. And different regions have different interpretations, each with its own interpretation.

    Let's talk about the origin of this statement.

    People in many places think that sweeping the floor at night will sweep away their family's wealthBecause all the people in the past lived in the countryside, there were no current buildings, and every family used to make a fire to cook, so it was believed that sweeping the floor at night would alarm the God of Wealth and the Lord of the Stove. It will cause them to be angry and take away their own wealth. In fact, this is a typical traditional superstitious thought, and few people will care about this now, and now people think that the home is not clean and dusty, so they will sweep the floor and clean it.

    For people now, especially young people don't believe in these, but every New Year's Day will also retain the previous customs, such as the first day of the first lunar month, the first day of the new year is not allowed to sweep the floor, because people think that sweeping the floor on this day, will sweep away the whole year's fortune, and it is not allowed to take out the garbage at night, because the garbage is also wealth at night, so the saying that you can't sweep the floor at night is the first to the New Year, I think there are some traditional things we have to maintain and carry forward, And some of the customs that are not very useful can be discarded.

    Sweeping the floor at night will sweep away the fortune, and sweeping the floor at night is afraid of alarming the stove god! It is the traditional version of people's superstitious thoughts, and now few people care about the custom of power, and if it is not clean, it must be cleaned.

    1.On the first day of the first day of the new year, there is a custom of taboo sweeping the floor. So, in general, people don't clean their yards on this day.

    It is believed that this sweep will sweep away the good fortune of the year. If you really have to sweep, you have to open the door first, sweep the inside of the house three times with a broom, and read in your mouth: "Huatang attracts a house full of gold, and the auspicious house collects a house full of silver, and people are safe all year round, and wealth rolls into the house."

    2.Don't take out the garbage at night, because the garbage is money at night. Besides, I'm still so superstitious now. When the ground is dirty, I feel uncomfortable and sweep it.

    3.If the floor is dirty, you can sweep it at any time, and you can mop it at any time. There is no rule that you can't sweep and mop the floor at night, and if there is, it is also a superstitious saying, saying that sweeping the floor at night is equal to sweeping money, which is unscientific. 30 minutes after meals or 30 minutes before bedtime.

    4.Sweeping and mopping the floor 30 minutes after dinner or 30 minutes before bed in the evening can also exercise the body, burn energy, and lose fat. In addition, mopping the floor before going to bed in summer can increase indoor humidity and reduce indoor temperature, making people feel refreshed.

    Answer that the yang energy is heavy during the day, it is the time for the activities of the living, and at night when the sun sets, the yin energy comes up, and it becomes the time for the activities of ghosts and gods.

    There is also a saying that sweeping the floor at night will sweep away the fortune, and sweeping the floor at night is afraid of alarming the stove god, so it is best not to sweep the floor at night.

    But for busy modern people, the time of the day to clean up the room may only be at night, it is difficult to really do not clean at night, for some people, there are not too many taboos in this regard, but for some people will still be more concerned about the ghosts and gods, so when it is unavoidable, it is best to do it at sunrise, rest at sunset, and do things according to the law of the four seasons and twenty-four solar terms, and naturally be able to be healthy and everything goes smoothly. If you are determined to sweep the floor at night, then you also have to "communicate" with the spirits and spirits with a calm heart, telling them that you are going to do something and hope that they will be temporarily diverted.

    Then there is nothing wrong with that. For most people, the dirty floor can be swept at any time, and the floor can be mopped at any time.

The fire burned more and more, and it happened to burn the broom on the ground. The broom is made of bamboo branches that are tied together, and the heated body expands and makes a "crackling" sound.
