Why can't I pay the money on the first day?

Bad luck.

There are many taboos on New Year's Day, and debt collection is one of them. Traditionally, it is considered that it will be unlucky to ask for debts from anyone or others during the Chinese New Year, so it is taboo to ask for debts from others.

The first day refers to the first day of each month in the lunar calendar. As the saying goes, "A year's plan lies in spring, and a day's plan lies in the morning." Naturally, the first day of each month is also very important. Of course, the most important thing is the first day of the first month, which is the first day of the year. Since ancient times, there have been many customs, such as gathering wealth, drinking, setting off firecrackers, occupying the New Year, and greeting the New Year.
