According to traditional customs, families usually send away the Ghost of Poverty (穷鬼, qiong gui) on this day.

根据传统习俗,家里通常要在这一天送走穷鬼。

By doing this, Chinese people wish to send sway poverty and welcome the beautiful days and good luck in the new year.

通过做这些,中国人希望能送走贫穷并且在新的一年迎来幸福和好运。

According to the legend, the ghost of poverty is a son of an emperor thousands years ago. He was short and weak, and liked wearing ragged clothes and eating poor porridge.

根据传说,几千年前穷鬼是一个皇帝的儿子。他矮小而又瘦弱,并且喜欢穿破烂的衣服,喝稀饭。

Even when people presented him with new clothes, he would not wear it until he ripped it apart. So, he got the name of ‘the man of poverty (穷子, qiong zi) with time passing by, he gradually became the ghost of poverty.

即使人们送给他新衣服,他也要扯破后才穿。因此,随着时间推移,他被称为了穷子,渐渐地就变成了穷鬼。

To send away the Ghost of Poverty, Chinese people will usually throw away their ragged clothes, rubbish and other dirty things.

为了送走穷鬼,人们通常会将自己的破衣服、垃圾和其他脏东西扔掉。

This practice also has its hygienic reason.

这一做法也是为了清洁。

As for the first five days of Chinese new year, people are not allowed to throw away any rubbish because the rubbish is regarded as fortune which cannot be swept off.

就新年的前五天来说,人们不允许扔掉任何垃圾因为垃圾被视为财富不能被清扫掉。

However, after the Festival of Po Wu (破五, po wu), many taboos can be broken.

然而在破五之后,许多禁忌就可被打破。

Thus, people finally can clean up their houses again.

于是,人们最后会再打扫一遍他们的房子。

Nowadays, the custom of sending away the Ghost of Poverty is not common to see in big cities.

如今,在大城市中送穷鬼的习俗已经不常见了。
