Now on waste show hi everyone and a very early happy chinese new year

Welcome back to chinastory

We're about to enter the year of the horse

A time of immense power luck pen transformation

But before we can all start galloing into the new year

There's some well very practical business to attend to if you're tuning in from anywhere that celebrates chinese new year

You know to draw new clothes

Red envelopes

Biicfists

And of course the great annual household purch also known as spring cleaning

相信大家现在都在做过年的准备

开始做你们的年度家庭大扫除了吧

Spring cleaning

If you think this is just vacuuing and dusting

Your infer surprise

So today we're diving into one of the most universal yet intensely personal pre chinese new year traditions

A ritual that often begins not with a mop

But with a mothers before

而这个年度大扫除这个仪式开始通常是**的一声怒吼

So picture this probably happening in millions of homes across china

Right now a few days before the new year's eve the mother or the undisputed ceo of domestic operations stands in the living room

Hands on her hips surveying the kingdom shouting at everyone that the're not doing ing

Correcrectly they're not cleaning hard enough

It's so acutely tely relaatable

It's become a mean

And we laugh at is mean

Because we've all been there

But behind the committee less a tradition over two thousand years old

Sold a meaning history and a very particular view of the universe

所以今天我们就来说说**大扫除它背后的传统

So why this almost militant deeply emotional dedication to cleanliness at years

And to understand it

We must travel back

Way back

The practice known as sauchhn literally sweeping away

The dust finds this earliest official routes in the rituals of the joe dynasty

最早是在周朝over three thousand years ago

But it wasn't about simple tighiness in the world view of ancient china

The material and spiritual worlds were deeply enter twined cleanliness was a state of cosmic and social order

古人的世界观里啊

物质世界和精神世界是深度交织的

这种洁径是宇宙与社会秩序的一种状态

Cosmic and social ices before major or stceremonies and sacrifices

A ritual called 腐厨would be performed

This was a grand purification ceremony involving priests incense and symbolic washing aimed at plancing the imperial paces and altters of any spiritual pollution to ensure the favor of heaven

你看在古代很多朝代在重大庆典和祭祀之前

特别是那种要皇帝参加的

都会要举行那种叫做扶雏的进化仪式

什么沐浴更衣都是基本操作

And the aim was to sweep away in a spiciousness

他要做的就是扫除不详

But the time of the hand dynasty alite ite actitibebegan ffter down to the common people was merging with focalifs

到了汉代

这种精英阶层的实践就开始渗透到平民百姓中间

也和民间信仰融合

Are we talked about this before

When we were talking about the little new year

A key figure in domestic god was the kitchen god 噪声

The legend goes that just before chinese a year

This god would return to heaven and report on the family's conduct over the past year

A spotleless kitchen was a sign of respect and a hopeful bit for a good report

这就是希望灶王爷能上天演好事

Well for that to happen

You have to make sure that everywhere is clean furthermore

It was believed that as the vear's protective energies waned mleveland evil spirits and lingering bad lock might try to settle in the dusty neglected corners of a home

那另外呢

大家也觉得随着旧年的这个守护能量的变弱

恶灵和残留的厄运可能会藏身于这个积满灰尘

有很多那种被忽视的角落的家中

The physical act of cleaning does became a spiritual act almost exexerism and protection 那就变成了驱邪和保护的一种行为

The famous hand era exercism ritual

The great 挪

大挪

就是那个挪系的那个大挪

Which involved mass dancers driving out pesilence share the same spiritual logic as the household sweet or household cleaning

They're both about purging the old evil to welcome the new good

不管是挪戏驱还是家庭大扫除

他的目的其实都是为了敌除旧恶

迎接兴善

There's also a profound linguistic and philosophical layer here in chinese dust 或尘灰尘的尘

Sounds the same as 陈

陈旧的陈old or past

Therefore some chssweeping away

The dust inherently is also southchen sweeping away

The old

This isn't just some pn

It's a core belief in chinese philosophy the old year was all is accumulated frustrations

Failures

Stagnant energy is seen as an unwanted residue that needs to be physically removed

You're not just cleaning your house

You're cleaning your temporal space

所以实际上你在进化的不光是防护五

你在净化你的时间空间

You're making a visible effort to wipe the slate clean in english

You say to start with a blank slate or clean slate

所有过去的不好都一笔勾销重新开始

And have this new year ready to be filled with new luck opportunities and vibrant energies

And it's not just in china

Where people have this cleaning ritual for example in the west

They have christmas cleaning any many other cultures

As well

What these traditions tell us is that across civilizations and cultures

The state of our home is a mirror of and an influence on the state of our soul and our fortune

跨越不同文明的这些传统就告诉我们

我们家的状态也是我们灵魂和命运状态的反应

并且对他们产生深远的影响

We are getting rid of the spiritual and existential baggage

嗯

So when a chinese mother transforms into a cleaning general she's actually channeling this ancient logic and philosophy

She's repeating an age old ritual

This isn't just a tore that can be outsourced

If somewas like a collective ride of passage

That inds the family together and together

We get rid of the old demons failures all these negativity and enter the new year united purified and ready

So the next time you hear the iconic prenew year shouts yell raar from the kitchen or living room

Possibly from your mom or your grandmother listen closer

Because they're not just necking

This is the latest performance of a thousand year old ritual is the sound of the old year being kicked out

And the new year being userred

So if you're in the middle of the big cleaning

Right now pick up a tool and get into it

You're not just cleaning

You're taking part in a story that connects ancient emperors worried householders and families across the globe

You're preparing a space for the spirted horse to land

And here at joorgan

We wish you a clean home

A ar mind and a supremely prosperous year of the horse

如果你现在正在大扫除

璐璐也祝你窗明几净

心旷神怡

一马当先

万事如意

那咱们下次见啦

Bye
