Therefore, they can enjoy the fruits of hard work and enjoy the Spring Festival. Wearing new clothes during the Spring Festival is like wearing Spring Festival couplets to celebrate spring.

In addition, wearing new clothes is conducive to exorcism. This is a moral to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck. Rich or poor, they should wear new clothes in the New Year.
