• One of these is cleaning the house for the Lunar New Year.

  其中之一是为农历新年打扫房子。

• Dust makes people think of old or outdated things.

• Therefore, sweeping dust out of the house is a way of saying goodbye to old things and welcoming new things.

  因此，打扫房子的灰尘是告别旧事物、迎接新事物的一种方式。

• Also, families typically eat certain types of lucky food at the family reunion dinner.
