It is the day when Chinese people welcome gods. In the old imperial calendar, the sheep is the zodiac sign, so the phrase "three sheep (yang) brings good luck" is a symbol of good luck and is also the day to welcome the Kitchen God back to the people. On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the whole family eats Zheluo together. The so-called Zheluo is a hodgepodge of leftover food from the past few days. They also clean the house and collect garbage into one place, which is also called "throwing away poverty" in Chinese folk customs.What are the customs on the fourth day of the first lunar month?Report good news and ward off bad luck on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. In fact, this is because people used to say Happy New Year when they met each other before they had any tools such as the Internet. However, modern people tend to neglect politeness and etiquette. This is also one of the reasons why people say “human nature is fickle”. Nowadays, if we don’t say Happy New Year to each other when we meet on the streets, at least we will say something to share the good news when we answer the phone. This is a kind of courtesy and also a custom to get rid of bad luck on the fourth day of the New Year. On the fourth night of the Lunar New Year, the whole family eats "Zhe Luo" together. Perhaps people nowadays rarely hear this saying, and there is no such habit anymore. In fact, now, during the Chinese New Year, from the first day to the fourth or fifth day of the New Year, everyone gathers together to eat every day. Either the aunt comes to visit or the daughter returns to her parents' home. Which relative is better, and which relative goes, there are delicious meals to eat every day during the Chinese New Year. However, people nowadays are rather lazy. It is really troublesome to prepare seven or eight dishes by themselves, so they prefer to eat out in restaurants or hotels. So "Zhe Luo" is basically not available for eating. The so-called "Zhe Luo" means cooking the leftovers from the previous few days and leaving them clean, which means "getting rid of poverty". There is a custom of welcoming gods on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and it is not advisable to travel far. Grandmas and mothers should know this custom very well, and they need to prepare offerings to worship the gods. Business people are also more clear about this, because the fifth day of the Lunar New Year is the day for business opening, and usually people offer sacrifices to the God of Wealth on the fourth day. It is good to open the market on the fifth day for good luck, hoping that business will be prosperous and money will come in this year. Those at home would worship the Kitchen God and pray for a good harvest and peace at home. According to legend, the Kitchen God will descend upon every household on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, so people are busy welcoming the Kitchen God and should not travel far.Summary: The above article content is what the editor wants to introduce to readers about the analysis of the festival culture and customs of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
