The second day of the first month is taboo. Are there any taboos the next day?

Answer: Avoid dumping sewage, garbage and sweeping the floor.

It is said that the second day of the Lunar New Year is the birthday of the water god. Avoid washing clothes on the second day of the lunar new year, for fear of hitting the water god. This has something to do with the past farming civilization. In the past, people depended on the sky for food, and a year's harvest depended on God's reward. Everyone looks forward to good weather all year round, and every year is a bumper harvest year. This "water god" plays the most important role. Although it has the color of feudal superstition, it is also a microcosm of traditional farming civilization, which should be regarded as a recollection of traditional culture.
