Why can't I propose in the first month?

You can't propose during the Spring Festival.

It is a very bad thing to propose marriage in the woman's house in the first month, because there is a traditional custom among the people that marriage is not proposed in the first month and the twelfth month, especially in those places where this statement is emphasized. If you propose during the Chinese New Year, it is a disrespect for the other family and a disapproval of the newlyweds. Not getting married in the twelfth lunar month means that after getting married in the twelfth lunar month, the relationship between husband and wife will be difficult to deal with and there will be more and more problems between husband and wife.
