Can't you go out on the thirteenth day of the first month?

It is best not to go out.

If you want to go out, you must pay attention to travel safety. According to the old custom, Pepsi Taboo Day is called "Yang Gong Taboo Day" and "Thirteen Taboos in Yang Gong" from the 13th day of the first lunar month, and then two days in advance every month. This biography was written by Yang Junsong, a geomantic master in the Tang Dynasty. These thirteen "taboo days" are 1 month 13, February 1 day, March 9, April 7, May 5, June 3, July1day, July 29, and July 29. So the thirteenth day of the first month is not suitable for going out.

The 13th day of the first month is one of the traditional lunar festivals in China, which is called "the birthday of the lampholder". On this day, people will light a lamp under the kitchen stove, which is called "lighting the stove". China custom starts from the 13th day of the first month, and lights are turned off on the 18th day of the first month. There is a saying that "thirteen or four gods look at the lights, fifteen or six people look at the lights, and seventeen or eight ghosts look at the lights".
