The sixth day of the first lunar month: The sixth day of the first lunar month is Horse Day, which was called Yi Fei in ancient times. From the first to the fifth day of the first lunar month, people cannot clean the toilets because of the accumulation of feces in the toilets. So on this day, we do a big cleaning and worship the toilet gods. Cleaning the usually dirty toilets is called "Yi Fei". Go to the fields to prepare for spring plowing, and send them out when they are exhausted. People really start working or doing business on this day. Today we also need to "send away the poor", offer sacrifices to the poor ghosts, send away poverty and hardship, and welcome a new life.
