What not to do on New Year’s Day? What are the taboos on New Year’s Day?

Sweeping the floor and pouring water are not allowed.

The first taboo is not to sweep the floor or pour water, for fear of taking away wealth. However, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the whole family reunites, and people come and go constantly to pay New Year greetings. They eat peanuts, eat melon seeds, eat fruits, and smoke. The peeled skins, shells, residue, paper scraps, and cigarette butts are all over the floor. Sweeping didn't work, so people came up with a workaround - changing from sweeping outward to sweeping inward, which symbolizes the treasure entering the door. After sweeping, put it in a trash can or paper basket without throwing it away, and the treasure will be kept.
