掃塵 Sweeping the Dust
“Dust” is homophonic with “chen”(塵)in Chinese, which means old and past. In this way, “sweeping the dust” before the Spring Festival means a thorough cleaning of houses to sweep away bad luck in the past year. This custom shows a good wish of putting away old things to welcome a new life. In a word, just before the Spring Festival comes, every household will give a thorough cleaning to bid farewell to the old year and usher in the new.
“Dust”與“塵”是諧音(塵在漢語中的意思是舊的和過去的)。這樣,“在春節(jié)前掃塵”是指徹底清潔房屋掃除過去一年的厄運(yùn)。此習(xí)俗表達(dá)了收拾舊事物,歡迎新生活的美好愿望。總之,就在春節(jié)到來之前,為了告別舊年迎接新年,家家戶戶都會(huì)徹底打掃一下房屋。
