New Year House Cleaning

Related Links

One of the most important aspects, although perhaps not the most enjoyable, of China's New Year's Festivities is the annual House Cleaning. Beginning early in the morning, all of the furniture in each family's house is covered with sheets before the walls and ceilings are swept down with brooms. Then the entire house is scrubbed clean. Furniture is moved about to make sure each corner of the house is thoroughly cleaned. This tradition's motives are multifold. Besides making the house spotless for the Chinese New Year's festivities, it is believed that it will ensure that the new year is a clean and healthy one. No cleaning, especially sweeping and removing of trash from the house, is allowed on the first day of the near year because it is believed that it will sweep out any good luck for the following year.
