过去，中国人把从腊月初八开始的过年的准备过程，还编成了一个顺口溜：

In the past, Chinese people started the preparation at the 8th of the last lunar month. There was even a piece of doggerel about the preparation.

二十三，糖瓜粘；二十四，扫房日；二十五，碾白薯；二十六，炖牛肉；二十七，宰公鸡；二十八，把面发；发面，（就是）发酵嘛，二十九，蒸馒头；

On 23, make candies; on 24, make a thorough cleanup; on 25, make sweet potatoes; on 26, brew beef; on 27, slaughter a rooster; on 28, prepare dough (To prepare dough means to make fermented dough); on 29, steam Mantou.

当然，随着时代的变迁，人们的生活内容有了变化，所以现在人们过年准备内容与过程也变化了，但是一些传统还保留着。正月二十四，扫房日，实际上就是大搞家庭环境卫生，这一天，家家户户开始扫房、擦窗、清洗衣物、刷锅洗瓢，进行干净彻底地卫生大扫除。

Of course, there are many changes in people's life with the time. Therefore, the process and contents of the preparation for Spring Festival also changed. However, some traditional customs are still kept. The 24th day on the last lunar month is the day for cleanup. Every household will do home cleaning, sweep their home, clean windows, wash clothes and clean dishes and have a spring-cleaning.

所以这个时候呢，年的活动都已经准备好了，新衣服做好了，吃的东西、年夜饭的东西，这些东西都做好了，然后开始贴春联，门口要贴对联，贴门神，贴窗花，这一切都准备好以后，才到了除夕这天晚上。

Therefore, at this moment all the preparations are done. New clothes have been made. All the things for eat and the spring festival dinner are ready. People begin to paste couplets and pictures of door gods, and paper cuttings on door panels. When everything is ready, it is the eve of Spring Festival.

持续半个多月的春节准备活动，说到底，其实就是两方面的事：一个是除旧，去除过去一年里脏的、旧的、不愉快的东西，另一个是为迎接新的一年而准备。

The half month continuous preparation for the Spring Festival is in indeed preparation in two aspects. One is to get rid of the old things. To get rid of the dirty, old and unpleasant things. The other is to prepare to welcome the new year.
