Why can't I pay a New Year call on the third day?

The Spring Festival is an ancient festival, and many Spring Festival customs have been passed down to this day. Among them, there is a saying that "you can't go out to pay New Year's greetings on New Year's Eve". So, why can't we pay New Year's greetings on New Year's Eve?

Don't pay New Year greetings on the third day.

In some places, the third day of the first month is called "Red Mouth Day". In order to avoid quarreling with others and provoking disputes, everyone does not go out to pay New Year greetings to relatives and friends, but only stays at home to worship the gods.

There is also a folklore that the third night is the day when "mice get married", so most people turn off the lights early to sleep, so as not to disturb the mice, and sprinkle some rice grains and cakes in the corner for the mice to eat, which is called "sharing money with the mice", indicating that they enjoy a bumper harvest with the mice.

But now, Bian Xiao believes that the most direct reason for not going out to pay New Year greetings in the third grade is that after a few days of gathering, everyone should have a good rest at home and sleep late!
