On the fifth day of the first month, don't forget to "send the poor". If you are poor, you can receive money and happiness.

People call the fifth day of the first month "Breaking Five". Why is it called "broken" five? In fact, it is not difficult to understand. From New Year's Eve to the first day of the first month and then to the fifth day, there are many taboos handed down by ancestors. The fifth day is the last day of the Spring Festival, and many taboos can be broken after the fifth day. Therefore, the "breaking" of "breaking five" actually means breaking, not wearing out.

The word "Breaking Five" appeared in the Chronicle of Yanjing Age: the fifth day is called Breaking Five, and uncooked rice is not allowed to cook, and women are not allowed to go out. But the custom of breaking five has existed since ancient times.

Ancient people sent "poor gods" on the fifth day of the first month. According to legend, Jiang Ziya named his wife "Poor God". Wherever poor God goes, the rich get poorer and the poor get poorer. So, the poor God was resentful to the world, and Jiang Ziya ordered him to "turn the evil into good luck" so as not to harm the world. As a result, the world designated the fifth day of the first month as the "broken" day, breaking the poor god.

There is a broader explanation about the "poverty" to be sent. According to the 557th volume of Complete, there are five kinds of poor people, namely, poor intelligence, poor learning, poor literature, poor life and poor communication. On the fifth day, not only will the poor god be sent away, but also five poor people will be sent away.

Therefore, the word "broken" actually has multiple meanings: it is necessary to break the previous taboos and break the poverty. Therefore, the fifth day is also called "send the poor day".

In ancient times, people were very particular about sending the poor. On the fifth day, people get up early. In addition to letting jiaozi hold the villain's mouth, every household made a woman with a paper bag and called her "penniless". After that, they put the dirty soil in the house into a bag, sent it to the door, lit firecrackers and fried it quickly.

Therefore, it is very important to send the poor on the fifth day of the first month. We should keep the following two points in mind, so that we can send the poor away and get wealth and happiness. Old traditions must be taken seriously.

Number one: Don't visit.

On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, poor gods run around. If you want to break the poor gods, you need to avoid visiting them and meeting them as much as possible.

The second point: cleanliness.

The ancients put dirt into the bags of five poor women and blew it up. We don't have to work hard to be paper men, but we can do a good job of sanitation. From the fixed broom in the first day of junior high school to the fifth day of junior high school, it's time to do a general cleaning inside and outside, especially for people who live in bungalows. If circumstances permit, it will be more auspicious to set off some firecrackers after cleaning and blow the five poor far away.
