Launching whips on the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year is a traditional Chinese custom that is more common during the Chinese Lunar New Year. The meaning of this custom is to pray for health, peace and good luck. According to legend, setting off whips can drive away ghosts and spirits and ward off all evil spirits. As a result, many people will head to temples, squares and other places this morning to take part in collective whip-launching activities as a way to welcome the New Year.
The process of releasing whips is very simple, and usually requires the preparation of a whip and a red cloth. First, everyone will tie the red cloth to the whip, and then under the leadership of the whip cracker, they will crack the whip together while shouting, "Fortune has arrived, the ghosts are gone, and our family is rich!" During this process, fireworks and firecrackers are also set off to add to the festive atmosphere.
The significance of letting off whips on the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year is not limited to praying for health, peace and good luck. In the process, people can also take the opportunity to express their wishes and hopes. At the same time, letting off whips is also a way to show Chinese culture, and through the inheritance of this custom, people become more aware of their cultural roots and traditional values. In addition, the release of whips on the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year is also a time for reunion, where people can **** off happy times with their families and friends on this special day.
