When will firecrackers be set off on the fifth day of the first month?

On the fifth day of the first month, firecrackers are not set off at night, but in the morning.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, it is commonly known as "Breaking Five". Folklore experts explained that "breaking five years" means sending the Spring Festival. After this day, everything will slowly return to the state before New Year's Eve. In the old society, from the first day to the fifth day, there were many superstitious taboos among the people, such as not cooking with raw rice, and women not sewing, cleaning and breaking things. After the fifth day, these taboos were lifted, so this day is called "breaking five".

In some areas of China, it is a custom to "send the poor" on the fifth day. Is to send the ashes and garbage from cleaning the house out of the door, and then fire a gun to exorcise evil spirits. The moral is to send away poverty and usher in prosperity and happiness in the new year. All shops, big or small, which are closed because of the China New Year, usually choose an auspicious day to open their doors after Friday, and usually take the sixth day of the sixth lunar month as a good day for "opening the market". Therefore, many businesses will make all preparations for the opening of the market on the fifth day.
