On New Year's Day, don't put brooms, don't take out garbage, prepare a big bucket of waste water, and don't spill it outside that day. You can't smash furniture during the Spring Festival. Breaking it is a sign of bankruptcy. You should say "Happy New Year" or "Fall to the ground and blossom, be rich and prosperous".

On the second day of New Year's Day, the married daughter goes back to her parents' home and asks her husband to go with her, so it is commonly known as "Wedding Day".
