What does the custom on the third day of the first month mean?

On the third day of the first month, it symbolizes the occasion of making a fortune. It is also called Xiaonianchao and Red Dog, and there are often legends such as mouse marriage and Xiaomi's birthday. In traditional festivals, there are folk customs of going to bed early, not eating rice and burning door god paper on the third day of the first month.

The third day of the first month is also a festival. This festival is called Xiaonian Dynasty, or Red Dog. According to legend, this day is the day when mice get married and Xiaomi's birthday, which means auspicious opportunities. Therefore, we should pay attention to related folk customs. However, it is incorrect for people to say that the third day of the first month is Ghost Festival. Among the traditional festivals, only four festivals, namely, March 3rd, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Mid-Autumn Festival and Han Festival, are Ghost Festival.

In addition, the third day of the first month is still a lucky day, and the fortune of this day is still good. On the third day of the first month, you can call on relatives and friends, pick flowers, enter the population, Gai Lou, break ground, erect columns, beam, offer sacrifices, turn on lights, make plastic paintings, pray for blessings, fast food, get married, settle down in bed, migrate and enter the house. But it is not suitable for traveling, treating diseases, burying things and opening markets. As long as we grasp the taboos and do the right thing on the right day, it is an auspicious day.

First of all, the third day of the first month is the day when mice get married. In order to avoid disturbing the marriage of mice, we should go to bed early instead of staying up late. If we disturb the marriage of mice, it will lead to bad luck at home. Secondly, the third day of the first month is Xiaomi's birthday, so you can't eat rice on this day, which means you can't eat rice, but you can also eat other things, such as pasta.

Finally, on this day, we will burn the door god paper. It is believed that burning door-god paper on the third day of the first month can bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, drive away last year's bad luck and make the future fortune better.
