January 5 of Chinese Lunar Calendar
正月初五
Custom: Breaking Five
习俗：破五
It is the day to "drive away five ghosts of poverty" (Poverty in intelligence, knowledge, literacy, fate, and friendship). People light firecrackers in the morning from inside to outside of their houses to scare away all the "ghosts".
正月初五俗称“破五”，即“赶走五穷”，包括“智穷、学穷、文穷、命穷、交穷”。旧时人们在清晨放鞭炮，边放边往门外走，传说如此便可将一切不吉利的东西都轰出门外。
