The traditional Spring Festival has just ended.

The fifth day of the first month. During the old custom Spring Festival, large and small shops closed together from the beginning of the New Year, but opened on the fifth day of the first month. People are used to taking the fifth day of the first month as the birthday of the god of wealth, thinking that choosing this day to open the market will definitely make a fortune. The fifth day of the first month, commonly known as the Broken Fifth Festival, is one of the traditional festivals with a long history in China. It is named after China folklore, and many taboos can be broken before this day.

Because this day carries too many people's hopes and longings, there are many taboos in ancient times, such as having to eat jiaozi, not cooking with uncooked rice and not letting women visit. The Chronicle of Yanjing Years Old says that the fifth day is called "Breaking Five", and it is forbidden to cook with uncooked rice, and women are not allowed to go out.

On the sixth day, Princess, your Lord and eunuchs exchanged greetings. The newly-married woman also returned to mothering on the same day, and the merchants gradually began to trade. "Clear Bi Chao" also states: "The fifth day of the first month is the fifth day, and women are not allowed to go out.

origin

In some places, the fifth day is also called "the whole year", which means that the year is over. It's time to make a summary and put an end to it. In fact, this is a variant of "Breaking Five", because the origin of "Breaking Five" is unknown, so the evolution is relatively slow.

According to the list of gods, Jiang Ziya deified his wife who betrayed him as a "poor god" and made her "turn her luck into luck". According to myths and legends, Jiang Ziya's wife is a very annoying cheating wife, which is even more annoying after she has been sealed up. Never heard of anyone who likes poor God, have you? So people "broke" her on the fifth day and told her to "go home"-go home at once!
