What are the taboos from the third to the seventh day of the first month? When to welcome the God of Wealth? The traditions of our ancestors should not be forgotten

New Year's Day is here, and it's a good time for families to sit together and talk.

From the first day of the first month to the seventh day of the first month, each day has a lot to say, you know how much?

What are the taboos from the third to the seventh day of the first month? When should you welcome back the God of Wealth? These customs passed down from our ancestors, we can not forget them all.

According to the traditional customs of the ancestors, the third day of the first month is a very critical day.

Because it is the day when the God of Wrath, also known as the "Red Dog", is born, it is an unlucky omen, and those who encounter it will be given bad luck.

So, on the third day of the first month, it is taboo to go out to pay homage to others, and do not go to bed too late.

The reason for this is simple: the old ancestors felt that going out on this day would give rise to the possibility of quarrels, which is very bad on the head of the New Year.

According to old traditions, the third day of the first month is also the day of the "mouse marriage". Going to bed earlier and turning off the lights will prevent the mice from seeing the road, so that they will not be able to complete the marriage ceremony smoothly, and will not be able to get into the bridal chamber, and the mice won't be born so quickly.

On this argument, listen to it, don't take it too seriously.

Mice are nocturnal animals, so turning off the lights has the same effect as leaving them on, and with the reproductive capacity of mice, it's just a drop in the bucket.

But we can feel from this custom that our ancestors hated rats for stealing food, "who knows what's on the plate, every grain is bitter".

In those days, when we relied on the sky to feed us, whether or not we had a good harvest depended entirely on the weather conditions of the year.

So, the reason why the ancestors had this traditional custom passed down is entirely for the ideal of a good harvest year to be realized in their hearts, as well as an ardent desire for a better life.

By the fourth day of the first month of the lunar year, it is time to get ready for the return of Zao Shen.

Remember when it was time to send Zao Wang? Every year, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mr. Zao would go up to Heaven to report his work to the Jade Emperor, and it was time for him to come back as his work was finished after so many days.

Master Zaobao will be able to give a few words of praise to the Jade Emperor, which will lead to more wealth and good fortune.

The welcoming of the God of the Vesta is also done with great pomp and circumstance in order to give thanks.

On the fourth day of the first month of the lunar calendar on this day, people "throw poor" with good visions.

Taking all kinds of garbage left in the house from previous days and cleaning the house well, throwing away garbage and useless items means throwing away poverty.

And receiving Zao Wang, it signifies that there will always be endless food in the pot in the coming year, and life will be on a higher level.

By the fifth day of the first month, it's time to welcome home another deity, the beloved God of Wealth.

On the "New Year's Day", when all the gods and goddesses report to the heavenly court, the fourth day of the first lunar month is a busy time to welcome Mr. Zao, the God of Zao, and on the next day, the God of Wealth is ceremoniously welcomed back.

Both the "God of Wealth" and the "God of Martial Arts" are honored.

In the new year, we all hope to have good fortune and success in everything.

As for the taboos, they may vary from place to place, for example, in some places, needlework is taboo, while in others, talkative women are taboo.

To summarize, on the beautiful day of welcoming the God of Fortune, all should be towards the festive aspect, but anything that will cause damage to the God of Fortune, even if it is uttered in a disagreeable way, is not allowed.

The sixth day of the first month is an even more special day: the opening of the doors for business.

Great luck and business.

Whether you are a working person or a businessman who opens his door for business, on the sixth day of the first month, you have to pack up your bags and devote yourself to the work of the new year, and start to get busy again.

The seventh day of the first month, which is also the day after going to work and opening a business, is a day to refrain from scolding children, according to an ancient tradition.

There is a legend that the six animals, chicken, dog, pig, cow, sheep and horse, were created by Nuwa between the first and sixth days of the first month.

On the seventh day, Nuwa finally created man, so this day is also considered to be man's birthday.

Growing up, the message we get from our forefathers is also that the birthday boy is the greatest on his birthday, and that we should try to fulfill whatever wishes we have for him.

Conclusion

The first seven days of the first month, there are basically a lot of taboos, in is thousands of years of cultural heritage down the custom.

While there is no scientific basis, but the expression of the old ancestors of the good life of the feelings of yearning, is the embodiment of good wishes.

As the heirs of the dragon, we strive to develop science at the same time, these folk customs are also to be observed.

This is a spiritual heritage and the mystery of the Chinese nation.
