What are the taboos on the fifth day of the first month?

Don't pay New Year greetings. There is no garbage and sewage at home. Don't comb your hair, don't touch the ground, and don't eat lotus roots. Welcome the God of Wealth, send five poor people, set off firecrackers and eat jiaozi.

Legend has it that the fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the birthday of the God of Wealth, and every household should open the door to welcome the God of Wealth. This day means "robbing money" and brings bad luck to friends and relatives, so you can't pay New Year's greetings on the fifth day. In addition, the ancients had the tradition of "driving away the five poor" on the fifth day of the first month to drive away the bad luck and bad luck at home, and people who visit at home will bring bad luck to their homes. "Breaking Five" is homophonic for "splashing pollution", which means cleaning, splashing sewage and taking out garbage. According to the old tradition, you can gather money on the first few days of the first month and throw things out, which means that "good luck" will pour down. After "Breaking Five", this taboo can be lifted. On the fifth day of the first month, people should clean up the garbage made at home during the Spring Festival, which is called "giving it to the poor", otherwise it will bring poverty. Sending out the garbage that cleans the house means sending out poverty and welcoming the prosperity of the new year. According to the old tradition, you can't do anything on the fifth day, otherwise you will break the money this year, especially three things. Don't comb your hair on the fifth day of the first month. Hair symbolizes good luck for a year. It starts from scratch and disappears as soon as you comb your hair. The older generation thought it was unlucky to comb it off on the fifth day of the first month. On the fifth day of the first month, it is forbidden to break ground, otherwise there may be disaster. Don't eat lotus roots on the fifth day of the first month! The old man said that lotus root can't be used in vegetables on the fifth day of the first month. This is because there are many holes in the lotus root, which means "leaking money", which is not conducive to the new year's fortune. The tradition of welcoming the god of wealth prevailed in the Ming and Qing dynasties and is still circulating today. For good luck and prosperity, people greet the god of wealth in various ways. The god of wealth is also known as the five gods. The so-called five roads are in the southeast and northwest, which means that all roads lead to wealth. At 0: 00 on the fifth day of the first month, every household will open doors and windows, light candles, set off firecrackers, put sheep's heads or carp on them, and respectfully welcome the God of Wealth, hoping that the God of Wealth will bring wealth and bless the prosperity of the new year. In some places, there are also folk activities to rob the road head. Although the fifth day is the birthday of the God of Wealth, before the fourth midnight, people will prepare sacrifices, cakes, fruits and incense to respect the God of Wealth, which is called "grabbing the road" or "receiving the God of Wealth".
