What is the name of the third day of New Year's Day?

The third day of New Year's Eve is also called New Year's Eve and Red Dog Day.

The ancients thought that "one life is two, two lives are three, and three lives are all things", so the third day is also called the first day of the off-year period, which is also the "off-year dynasty". On this day, according to the custom, the married daughter will go back to her mother's house. On this day every year, married daughters take their husbands and children back to their parents' homes to visit relatives. Locals also call it "going back to parents' house" or "going to grandma's house".

You can't go out for 100 years on New Year's Day. According to the usual custom, the third day of New Year's Eve is called "Zhongyuan Festival". It is forbidden to visit relatives and friends on this day. But with the progress of the times, it is rare for people to get together for the Spring Festival, and this taboo has faded a lot. Many people will choose to visit relatives and friends on this day.

What to do in the New Year:

1, the third day is called "pig" day, so you can't kill pigs on this day (you have to cut pork with a knife before killing pigs), so that the pigs at home will grow fat and strong next year.

2. The third day is also called "Red Dog Day" and "Little Year Dynasty".

"Red dog" is a god who is easily angry and brings poverty. It is unlucky to meet him, so avoid meeting him this day. Generally speaking, the third day is not suitable for going out, otherwise it is easy to have quarrels and disputes with people, including visiting relatives to pay New Year greetings. Of course, the host family will not invite guests to their homes on this day, which will bring poverty.

Southerners believe this more. They will put a red mouth on their door this morning and stay at home all day, so as to bring peace to their families and avoid quarreling with others and encountering evil spirits.
