Can I cut my nails on the second day of the lunar new year?

Not so good.

Inquiring about the taboo knowledge forum, I learned that it is best not to cut nails during the Chinese New Year, and scissors are not allowed to be used from the first day to the fifth day (in some places, the whole first month), because knives and scissors are deadly weapons, and they are unlucky to move, so as not to break the wealth and separate their loved ones.

Lunar New Year refers to the second day of the first lunar month. Sacrificing the god of wealth and returning to parents' home are very distinctive customs in China. On this day, the daughter of China folk marriage will go back to her parents' home, and her husband will go with her, so this is commonly known as Wedding Day, so it is not advisable to use knives and scissors.
