Is it taboo to go to work on the thirteenth day of the first month?

Yes

In ancient times, people would look at old almanac books before going out. Because of the inconvenient transportation, it takes a long time to go out, so they naturally want to choose a good day to go out. On the 13th day of the first month, it was a "taboo for the prince". In addition, in the eyes of our ancestors, the homonym of "lost" has a bad meaning, so people will deliberately avoid going out on this day. In the past, the taboo of "not going far away" on the thirteenth day of the first month came from this.

It is said that this man has benefited the people all his life and won their love. People call him Yang for helping the poor. There are many legends in Yang Gong's life. Because he often robbed the rich and helped the poor, he offended many gangsters and tried his best to harm him. He was framed thirteen times in his life, but he escaped safely because he saved countless lives and was rich in virtue. His 3000 sons and daughters set the time when he was killed 13 times as the anniversary of Yang Gong's death. After thirteen days, they will be jealous of their teachers.
