Coming to the StarCraft to Be a Kindergarten Teacher: Perfect Transformation
Chapter 332 General Cleaning
I slowly parked the hovercraft and carefully picked up the basket on the passenger seat. The fresh vegetables and fruits looked particularly tempting under the sunlight, emitting a delicate fragrance that made my mouth water.
I walked briskly toward my door, feeling happy and relaxed. However, the moment I reached the door, a strange feeling suddenly overwhelmed me. I stopped and glanced at my phone in confusion. The lively atmosphere in the live broadcast room seemed to have been paused, and it suddenly became silent.
I couldn't help but wonder, what on earth was going on? The livestream room, which had been bustling with activity just a moment ago, now had no one replying to my message. I anxiously put down my basket and checked to see if the livestream had been disconnected.
But just as I was about to put down the basket, the livestream room suddenly erupted in chaos, with comments flooding in like a tidal wave. I stared wide-eyed at the messages that flashed by so quickly, unable to read any of them clearly.
I was caught off guard by this sudden change. I hurriedly carried the basket into the house, then hurried out to check the two new pots of flowers I bought. I specially selected these two pots of flowers, hoping that they would add some vitality and vigor to my new home.
Standing in the courtyard, I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself. After about two minutes, the livestream finally returned to normal, and the number of online viewers had surpassed one million! I stared at the number in amazement, my heart filled with unbelievable joy.
I quickly checked the comments, wondering what had happened in those strange minutes. When I saw the comments, it dawned on me. They were so overwhelmed by the sight of my new home that they had forgotten to reply.
After learning the reason, I felt a warm feeling in my heart. I decided to take everyone to visit my courtyard so that they could also feel the tranquility and beauty here.
I cleared my throat, raised my voice slightly, and began to introduce enthusiastically: "Family members, what you are seeing now is the gate of my courtyard! Look, doesn't this gate have a very retro feel?" As I spoke, I reached out and gently pushed open the slightly old but still quaint gate, then waved to everyone with a smile, "Come on, come on, follow me in and take a look!"
When I walked into the yard, I first pointed to the stone table and stone bench beside me and said, "Look, this is where I usually drink tea and read books! I love sitting here, basking in the warm sun, making a pot of fragrant tea, and then opening a good book. Wow, that feeling is so comfortable!" After that, I deliberately sat on the stone bench for a while, as if to show netizens that leisurely and contented state.
Then, I stood up and led everyone to the flower wall, introducing it with a smile on my face: "Look at this flower wall! When the flowers bloom, it will be absolutely beautiful! By then, the whole wall will be full of colorful flowers, fragrant and beautiful. It will be a beautiful picture! Later, I also plan to make a special renovation video to make this courtyard even more beautiful! But today happens to be the Spring Festival, so I won’t bother with it for now. I plan to clean it up first so that the courtyard can have a clean and tidy New Year!"
Before I even finished speaking, I picked up the broom beside the wall and began to carefully sweep the fallen leaves in the yard. As I swept, I didn't forget to interact with netizens: "Family, do you know? There is a saying about spring cleaning before the Spring Festival!"
"Oh? What's that? Host, please explain it to us!" Many messages from netizens immediately popped up on the screen. Everyone was curious about this topic.
The tradition of spring cleaning before the Spring Festival has a long history, dating back to the time of Yao and Shun. It originated from an ancient religious ritual to drive away disease and pray for health and peace.
Over time, this custom gradually became popular during the Tang and Song dynasties and was given a new name: "Sweeping the Year." People believed that by thoroughly sweeping away the dust and old things in their homes, they could get rid of the bad luck of the previous year and bring good luck and fortune to the new year.
There are some interesting folklore surrounding the origins of spring cleaning. One theory ties it to the ancient mythical figure of Zhuanxu's son, who reportedly died of cold and hunger on New Year's Eve. To prevent such a tragedy from happening again, people would clear their homes of worn-out clothing and leftover food before the New Year to symbolically drive away poverty and misfortune.
Regardless of which version is true, spring cleaning has become an indispensable and important activity before the Spring Festival. It not only makes the home environment look brand new, but also carries people's good expectations and blessings for the new year.
Spring cleaning before the Spring Festival is a crucial traditional Chinese activity. It carries a profound cultural heritage and spiritual meaning, far more than just a simple act of cleaning. Its significance is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
First and foremost, spring cleaning symbolizes bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, a fresh start. As the Spring Festival marks the beginning of the year, spring cleaning serves as a way to put an end to the past year and usher in the new. During this process, people sweep away all dust and debris from their homes, leaving their entire living environment clean, tidy, and refreshed. This isn't just a physical cleansing exercise; it's also a psychological ritual, signaling a farewell to the fatigue, worries, and disappointments of the past year, welcoming the new year with a more positive and optimistic outlook, and full of hope for the future.
Secondly, spring cleaning plays an important role in physical cleansing. Over the past year, dust, dirt, and debris have inevitably accumulated in homes. These not only affect living comfort but can also breed bacteria and pests. A thorough spring cleaning can eliminate these health risks and create a healthy and comfortable living environment for your family.
Furthermore, spring cleaning before the Spring Festival is a way to inherit and promote traditional culture. This custom, passed down from generation to generation, has become a unique cultural symbol of the Chinese nation. It allows people to experience the rich atmosphere of traditional festivals amidst the hustle and bustle of modern life, fostering a sense of identity and belonging to their national culture.
Get rid of bad luck and pray for Najib
In traditional beliefs, the ancients had a special understanding of the homophonic relationship between the characters for "dust" and "old," which means "old." They believed that sweeping the dust was essentially sweeping away the old, a practice imbued with profound meaning. By sweeping away the dust in the home, people hoped to eliminate bad luck, illness, and ill fortune. Furthermore, meticulously cleaning accumulated dust from every corner of the home was also seen as a way to ward off potential "evil spirits," ensuring a clean and peaceful home environment.
Furthermore, cleaning the house and tidying up belongings not only tidies up the home but is also believed to improve the family's "qi" (luck and fortune). This belief holds that a clean and tidy home attracts more blessings, wealth, and health. Therefore, spring cleaning has become an essential activity to welcome the New Year, expressing hopes and wishes for a better future.
