Generally, you can clean the house before New Year's Day. Off-year is a traditional festival in China, also known as "New Year's Eve", "Kitchen God Festival" and "Kitchen Festival". It is also called "Lunar New Year's Eve" and "Lunar New Year's Eve" because the main activity of the Lunar New Year is to sacrifice stoves at night.
Off-year is regarded as the beginning of "busy year". Due to different local customs, the so-called "off-year" days are not the same. In most areas, the 23rd or 24th of the twelfth lunar month is a "small year". Off-year is also a time for family reunion. Every household has a feast and set off firecrackers. Their activities are similar to those of the Chinese New Year, except that they don't go out to pay New Year greetings. Since the Song Dynasty, offering sacrifices to the kitchen god has gradually become the main activity of off-year festivals, and it has been passed down to this day.
Matters needing attention in off-year cleaning
1. It is not suitable to buy new furniture with triangles, diamonds and squares during the Spring Festival. Chinese civilization likes square and round.
2. Families like to put flowers, such as peach blossoms and plum blossoms, next to the gate to show that spring has arrived. Camellia and Clivia can be placed indoors to make the family live in harmony. Rich bamboo and rich trees can be placed in the living room to symbolize a civilized and wealthy family.
3. During the Spring Festival, it is not advisable to carry out large-scale construction, carry out large-scale demolition and indoor decoration, try to avoid breaking the wall and breaking the ground, and avoid unlucky position flow. If you want to decorate your house, you must tidy it up a week before the festival.
4. The rooms and beds should not be greatly adjusted. The master room is like a wife's star. It's unlucky to change places in the New Year. The kitchen and bathroom can be renewed.
5, the door should not be adjusted, because the door plays an important role in Feng Shui, and the hall controls the quality of gas.
