The fourth day of the Lunar New Year is what makes Putian very different from other places. Putian people also celebrate the New Year on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, which means celebrating the New Year repeatedly. The fourth day of the Lunar New Year is as lively and grand as the New Year's Eve. This custom originated from the 41st year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese pirates invaded Putian and killed and looted everywhere. They did not return until they were defeated by the Qi army on the first day of the first lunar month of the following year. Since every family had taken refuge in other places and could not celebrate the New Year, they decided to make up for it on the fourth night of the Lunar New Year. In order to commemorate this tragic history, the people agree to use New Year's Eve as Little New Year's Eve, and the fourth day of the first lunar month as "New Year's Eve", also known as "Doing Big New Year" (Xianyou "does Big New Year" on the fifth day of the lunar month).
