Can't I wash clothes and hair on the first day of New Year's Day? What if I washed it?

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, and then open the door after the sunrise and fog disperse. Otherwise, evil spirits will enter the house and people will not prosper. Enter through the back door or side door before sunrise in the morning.

Don't stir-fry beans during the Spring Festival, otherwise the children at home are prone to sores and boils.

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". Only men can go out to pay New Year greetings, while women can only go out to visit after the sixth day of the first month.

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

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

Appropriate: enrollment, study, travel, recruitment, alliance, marriage, meeting relatives and friends, entering the population, grazing, catching and saving.

Avoid: opening markets, entering households, breaking ground and building houses.
