    There are many taboos when sweeping the floor in the countryside, especially when sweeping the floor at home, we must try to avoid these practices, otherwise the elderly will be scolded when they see it.

    1. Sweeping direction.

    Because sweeping the floor is to remove dust, it is necessary to start cleaning from the inside when sweeping the floor, and then sweep the garbage out of the door, which is the so-called "driving away bad luck."

    If you sweep from the outside in, you are bringing bad luck into the home, which is unlucky, especially during the New Year's holiday. Although this is a superstitious saying, it is true that when sweeping the floor, you should sweep the garbage from the inside out, and from the outside to the inside, it will make the originally clean floor dirty.

    2. Use a broom.

    There are many kinds of brooms in rural areas, and there is a kind of bamboo broom that is more suitable for sweeping the yard and cannot be used for cleaning in the house, because this kind of broom will only be used to clean the house when the family has a "white wedding event". However, in terms of practicality, it is difficult to clean the interior of the house with a bamboo broom, but it is easy to bring some dust from the yard into the home, so there is some truth in this statement, but there is no scientific basis for using bad luck as a reason. <>

    There are also some people for convenience, take two brooms overlapping each other, which is also a taboo in the countryside, because the service life of brooms is limited, and the use of two brooms together will speed up the consumption of brooms at home, which is not economical. Many rural elderly people will scold their juniors when they see this practice, so if they help their grandparents sweep the floor in the countryside, they still have to do the cleaning work honestly, and don't use this kind of cleverness. <>

    In fact, the taboos of rural sweeping will vary according to different regions, but the reason behind these taboos is mainly superstitious thoughts, and there is no scientific reason at all. However, if these taboos are put in practice, there is indeed a certain objective truth.

    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.

    Chinese New Year's Eve can sweep the floor. In China's traditional customs, the day of Chinese New Year's Eve originally has the meaning of removing the old cloth and the new, so Chinese New Year's Eve can sweep the floor and clean the hygiene of the home, and it is also more auspicious.

    The first taboo is that you can't sweep the floor once for a long time, which is not only a taboo but also a good habit for people to develop hygiene. Whether it is the countryside in ancient times or the countryside now, the ground of many houses is dirt rather than tiles, and people living on them can quickly rub a lot of dust. And because there is a lot of farm work in rural areas, many people don't want to sweep the floor when they get home after getting dark every day.

    But out of the requirements of hygiene, the taboo of not sweeping the floor for a long time is still very reasonable.

    The second taboo is to sweep from three walls to the door when sweeping the floor, not from the door to sweep the floor, and finally sweep to the wall. In fact, whether the direction of sweeping is urban or rural, it is basically swept from the wall to the door, and finally a garbage pile is formed at the door, and then the garbage can be cleaned up with a dustpan. It is inevitable that some dust will be raised when sweeping the floor in the countryside, and from the perspective of air convection, it is indeed more reasonable and scientific to sweep from the wall to the direction of the door.

    The third taboo is that when sweeping the floor, the bench cannot be placed on the table, and the bench can only be moved to other places. We can often see those restaurants and inns on TV that put stools on the table and start sweeping the floor when they close, but you can't do that in the countryside. On the one hand, because the countryside is full of peasant homes, if you also put a stool on the table, then you don't think your home is a restaurant or inn!

    The second reason is that a stool placed on the table may fall and hit the children in the house.

    The fourth taboo is not to sweep the floor when there are guests in the house, because this means to chase customers. Under normal circumstances, it is before the guest arrives at home or after the guest leaves before the floor is started, if the guest is still sitting at home and the host sweeps the floor, it must be disgusted that the guest has soiled his home, which is a very disgusting performance of the guest, and it is also the meaning of hoping that the guest will leave early, so when there are guests at home, it can not sweep the floor.

    First of all, "It is taboo to clean the courtyard from the inside out", the folk explained, this will sweep away the wealth. Another way to put it is:"Only by sweeping from the inside out, can we sweep away bad luck."

    The two statements mean exactly the opposite, one thinks it is good and the other thinks it is bad.

    In the countryside, first of all, you can't sweep the floor when there are guests and when someone is eating, because this is an impolite behavior to others, disrespectful to others, and secondly, when sweeping the floor with a broom or mop, you can't drag it behind it, because this is unlucky, I think these are customs since ancient times, so there is a certain reason.

  28. Anonymous users2024-01-16

    Look at the direction of cleaning, taboo cleaning the courtyard from the inside out, folk explanation, this will sweep away the wealth. When cleaning, look at the placement of the bench. Generally, stools are folded up during funerals in rural areas, so it is taboo to fold stools.

    As for whether it makes sense, different places have different customs, and we should respect local customs and habits.

    Many people have to work during the day, after a busy day, only at night do they have time to spare to clean the house, many people are used to sweeping the floor at night, this is no problem. But there is a folk saying that it is not good to sweep the floor at night, why can't you sweep the floor at night? Is there anything special about this?

    In the past, the older generation would think that they couldn't sweep the floor at night and take out the garbage, but there was no scientific basis for this.

    The reason why the older generation of people feel that they can't sweep the floor at night is because they are afraid of sweeping away the family's fortune and taking out the garbage is also because of this. But in fact, the floor can be swept anytime and anywhere when it is dirty, the garbage can be emptied whenever you want to be dumped, and keeping the home clean and tidy is more important than anything else. Because Xi Kaiwei lives in a clean room, the whole person will be refreshed and not easy to get sick.

    So far, there are still some places where there is a custom of not sweeping the floor during the Spring Festival. Generally, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, many places will not go to clean, which is afraid that there will be garbage everywhere on the ground, and they will have to wait for the day of laughter and rent to clean it, because the people feel that sweeping the floor on the first day of the Lunar New Year will sweep out the wealth and good luck of the year. If you really can't bear to clean the house, then you can open the door first, sweep the garbage on the ground into the house three times, and say that 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; and then sweep the garbage out of the floor.

    Now, with the progress of society, everyone's mind is becoming more and more open-minded, and few people believe in these more metaphysical things anymore. When it comes to cleaning, it's always right to be diligent, isn't it good to clean the room every day? Do you have to choose an auspicious time to sweep the floor and take out the garbage?

    In life, the most important thing is to live freely and happily, so why embarrass yourself.
