Day 6 of the 1st month

On the sixth day, people make wishes for "ma dao cheng gong", win success immediately upon arrival.

According to tradition, families usually send away the Ghost of Poverty on this day. To send away him, Chinese people will usually throw away their ragged clothes, rubbish and other dirty things.

By doing this Chinese people wish to send away poverty and welcome the beautiful days and good luck in the New Year.
