What are the stresses and taboos of hiding from spring?

Taboos and statements on avoiding spring:

Every day in early spring, there should be no argument, but we must meet this day harmoniously and calmly. In some places, it is not appropriate to take activities, visit seriously ill patients or attend funerals on the day of Tibetan spring, so as not to provoke bad luck and affect the luck of the whole year.

On the day of Tibetan spring, avoid contact with people and animals who are punished, collided and harmed each other. For example, when dragons and dogs collide, there should be no dogs in the room where dragons hide from stars, and it is not appropriate to contact people with zodiac dogs.

Some customs of solar terms in beginning of spring

1. The custom of recommending new ancestors in Chunmiao was passed down to later generations and became an ancestor worship activity in the first month of the lunar calendar. In some places, if you don't clean your house for a few days after the first day of junior high school, you are worried that it will infringe on your ancestral spirits when you go home for the New Year. In some places, it is the latter custom that the garbage is not allowed to be taken out on the first day of the lunar new year.

2. In ancient times, the ceremony of native land was held at the beginning of spring, and the content of native land included prayers to Mother Earth. Drinking together after the native ceremony is a prototype ritual custom of "group worship" and "New Year greetings" in later generations.
