What you can't do during the Spring Festival.

The first day of the lunar new year

On the first day of the first month, that is, the first day of the New Year's Day, you can't move the broom on this day, otherwise you will sweep away all your luck and talent, and some places will have to sweep from the outside to the inside. I know this custom has been preserved in many places now. Besides, it was not easy to break the furniture that day. If it is broken, you should immediately say "Peace through the years" or "Flowers bloom on the ground, and you will be rich all your life".

The second day of the first lunar month.

The second day of the first month is the day when a girl goes back to her parents' home, and she has to go forward with her husband. It is also called "Wedding Day". Of course, you can't go back to your mother's house empty-handed. You should prepare some gifts and red envelopes for your children. You should have lunch at your mother's house, but you should go back to your husband's house before dinner. However, in today's society, it is also possible to live in in-laws' homes.

On the third day of the first month

The third day of the first month, also known as Red Dog Day, is an unlucky day among the people. People usually don't go out to pay New Year's greetings (the first day of New Year's Day). It is said that it is easy to quarrel with others in the third grade, but this custom has long been out of date. Now the Spring Festival is a seven-day holiday, so it is rare for everyone to get together during the Spring Festival. This custom has disappeared.

The fourth day of the first month

In the past, the boss wanted to "fire someone". On this day, he didn't have to be invited to worship God, but the other party knew that he would pack up and leave. Of course, it is said that the Kitchen God will come to "check the household registration" on this day, so it is not advisable to travel far. But now society

I don't care about this custom!

The fifth day of the first month

The fifth day, also known as Breaking Five, is one of the traditional festivals with a long history in China. It is named after the folk custom in China. Before this day, many taboos can be broken, and "five poverty" should be expelled, including "poverty in knowledge, poverty in learning, poverty in literature, poverty in life and poverty in communication". It's dawn, set off firecrackers and clean up. Setting off firecrackers is also very particular. You should detonate it from the inside out and walk outside the door when you detonate it. The moral is: blow out all unlucky things! It doesn't matter that fireworks are not allowed in the city now, but this custom has always been preserved in the countryside.
