大年初六：马到成功

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

初六，人们祈祷“马到成功”，意思是成功马上就会到来。

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 ragged¹ clothes, rubbish and other dirty things.

各家各户在初六有送“穷鬼”的传统。人们会扔掉破烂的衣服、垃圾和其他脏东西，预示送走穷鬼。

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

这个习俗寓意赶走贫穷，新的一年迎来好日子和好运气。
