Taboo on the fourth day of Lunar New Year's Eve

Shaving is forbidden on the fourth day of the lunar new year. In some places, you can't shave your head for the whole first month, which is said to be bad for your uncle. It is forbidden to go out of town, because the kitchen god will come back on the fourth day, so the whole family should meet him. It is forbidden to quarrel and swear. In fact, you can't swear and quarrel until the fifteenth day of the first month, which will be frustrating and bring bad luck. These are folk customs and taboos, which are unscientific, but there is no harm in knowing more about China's traditional culture.

The fourth day of the first lunar month, also called Sheep Day, is the day when China people meet God. In the calendar of the old empire, people often said that "three sheep (yang) open Thailand" is a symbol of good luck and a day to welcome the kitchen god back to the people. On the fourth day of lunar new year's eve, the whole family get together to eat something on sale. The so-called discount is a hodgepodge of food left over from cleaning up the new year's goods in a few days. Cleaning rooms and putting garbage in one place are also called "throwing the poor" in China folklore.
