When can I take out the garbage in the first month?

You can take out the garbage on the fifth day.

Generally speaking, it is the Spring Festival from New Year's Eve to the fifth day. During this period, there are many rules and taboos, such as no cooking, no going out, no taboos, unlucky words, no sweeping the floor and sprinkling water, no opening a shop and so on. However, on the fifth day, all the above taboos were broken. Today is the day to retract the confession. You can "pinch five bags of jiaozi", sweep the floor and take out the garbage, go out and go back to your mother's house, and all the shops can open. The fifth day is the end of the Spring Festival and the beginning of life after the year, so it is called "Breaking Five".

The fifth day is the birthday of the god of wealth, and it is also an auspicious day to meet the god of wealth. Every household greets God, every shop gets up when it hears the cock crow, and starts to greet God, setting off whips and firecrackers, hanging red cloth on the signboard to celebrate the opening of the market, and drinking the wine of the God of Wealth. There must be a big carp in the sacrifice, which is homophonic for profit, so it is called "Yuanbao Fish" and "Live Yuanbao Fish". Hang the fish ridge on the beam, with the head inward, and stick a red paper ingot on your body, which means that you can "make money."

The second is to send the poor. Since the Han and Tang dynasties, there has been a custom of sending the poor among the people. Based on this belief, on the fifth day of the fifth year, we sweep, burn, empty and send garbage, regard garbage as a symbol of the poor, "send the poor out of their homes" and send them to far away places. In some places, cars and boats are tied with grass or paper as "vehicles" to send the poor.
