What are the taboos for Chinese New Year?

Taboos on New Year's Day Different nationalities have different views.

You can't take a bath, wash your hair, sweep the floor, take out the garbage, splash water or wash clothes on New Year's Day.

Avoid killing, eating porridge, taking medicine, breaking utensils, giving money, swearing, fighting, hitting children, crying, offering incense to unclean people, opening doors and setting off firecrackers.

You can't open the door early in the morning on New Year's Day until the fog clears at sunrise. Otherwise, evil spirits enter the house and the population is not prosperous. Enter through the back door or side door before sunrise in the morning.

Don't fry beans on New Year's Day, otherwise the children at home are prone to sores.

In the past, from the first day of the first month to the fifth day of the first month, most families did not receive women, which was called "taboo". It's just that men want to go out to pay New Year greetings, and women can't go out to visit until after the sixth day of the first month.

I haven't heard of other taboos, but you can learn about them from the almanac.

Lunar calendar: the first day of the first month, Ding Hainian/Renyin Month/Guiwei Day.

Appropriate: admission, study, travel, recruitment, alliance, marriage, meeting relatives and friends, entering the population, grazing, capture and rescue.

Avoid: opening the market, entering the house, breaking ground and building houses.

Because the God of Wealth comes on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you can't sweep away the God of Wealth. On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, you will receive treasures. On the first day of sweeping the floor, there will be no treasure on the fifth day, no matter how many fireworks are set off. This is just entertainment.
