Why can't I go to someone else's house on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year?

Why can't I go to someone else's house on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year?

First of all, talk about the fifth day of the first month, also known as the Five Horses Day, the day to send the poor. You should clean up the house and the outside, get rid of the musty smell, send away the word "poor", wash clothes and tidy up the room. Therefore, don't go to other people's homes on the fifth day, and don't visit relatives or entertain them. Moreover, on the fifth day of the first month, there is a custom called "driving five poor people" (poor in intelligence, poor in learning, poor in literature, poor in life and poor in friendship). Also known as breaking five. China folklore once said that many taboos can be broken before the Fifth Five-Year Plan. Moreover, there is a saying that the first child, the second child, the third child and the fourth child go to the neighborhood, which means that the first child pays a New Year call to his parents and elders, the second child pays a New Year call to his parents-in-law, and the third child visits his neighbor's house.

Secondly, in ancient times, there were many taboos on this day, such as having to eat jiaozi, not cooking with raw rice, and not allowing women to visit. Today, the folk custom of "breaking five years" has evolved into the meaning of "sending new year's goods". Therefore, people sometimes feel unhappy when they don't visit relatives on the fifth day of the first month, and most people who understand the truth consciously implement it. Moreover, after the "Breaking Five", it is generally necessary to choose an auspicious day to start business, and the sixth day of the Lunar New Year is usually considered as a good day for "opening the market". Therefore, many businesses will make all preparations for the opening of the market on the fifth day.

However, there is a custom in some places to avoid seeing poor gods, that is, kannika nimtragol. In some places, it is simply called "seeing the poor daughter-in-law on the fifth day and welcoming the God of Wealth after going out". In fact, it is the disrespect for women in ancient times, so don't take it too seriously. Now the Spring Festival is for family reunion. If there is such a stress in the local area, it will be the year of reunion! And now young people have a fast pace, and they only have seven days off for the Chinese New Year, and they have to visit relatives and friends. In order to save time, they don't care about these old rules. Now I don't believe this. Everything is easy-going and unscrupulous.
