Ten Taboos of Spring Festival

Don't come for one or thirty nights.

Visiting on New Year's Eve is a taboo, because it is a family reunion day, and no one wants to be disturbed by outsiders. Whether it is talking, visiting or collecting debts, it will ruin the happiness of the family. So on New Year's Eve, no one can come except "Tatars".

Second, you can't shave your head in the first month.

Shaving is not allowed in the first month, which is a taboo in many areas. People often say that "shaving your head in the first month killed your uncle" and think it is an insult to your uncle! Of course, this kind of thing is definitely impossible, but anyway, in order to show respect for my uncle, no one will shave their heads in the first month. After all, this is blood relationship.

Third, you can't beat and scold children.

It is a rule in many places not to beat and scold during the Spring Festival, because it is the Spring Festival and a lively festival. It is their nature for children to be naughty, so they must endure it. Traditionally, a child will be scolded for one year on the first day.

Say nice things during the Chinese New Year, and don't swear. In some places, if a child says something wrong, adults will immediately say, "There is nothing taboo about what the child says."

Fourth, avoid eating fish heads and fish tails.

Eating a fish every year is a tradition and a symbol of good luck. But when others like it, they can't eat it. This used to be called "watching food"! If you really want to eat, just eat the fish, leaving only the head and tail. This is a complete fish. In other words, next year's life is not only about food and clothing, but also about wealth.

5. Avoid collecting debts from others.

They are depressed because they can't get debts during the New Year, but now they want too much money, and some even have to wait until the New Year! In the traditional concept, no matter who you ask for money or who you ask for money, this year will be very unlucky, so asking for money is a taboo.

6. Don't let people take things from your pocket.

During the Spring Festival, please don't let others take things from your own pockets, otherwise the money for one year will be taken away by others.

Seven, pour blessing can't be posted on the door.

If there is more than one word "Fu", it should be "Menfu", "Tangfu" and "Daofu" from the inside out. The order cannot be reversed. The word "fu" is correct, but be careful not to post it on the door.

Eight, the first day of marrying a daughter, avoid "returning to the door."

On the first day of New Year's Day, a married daughter will be poor at home, so on the third day of New Year's Day, that is to say, a married daughter will become a daughter-in-law. There will definitely be many people coming to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year, so she can't go back to her family on the New Year's Eve.

Nine, avoid eating porridge and medicine.

In the past, only poor people ate porridge, so they had to eat dry food on New Year's Eve morning, because it meant that they were getting richer every year. The first day of the new year is called the "gathering of the gods", which means that all the gods will come to pay New Year greetings. In order to show respect, they must be vegetarian.

X. Avoid cleaning

Don't sweep the garbage out of the house: visit Kitchen God before New Year's Eve, and send Kitchen God away on New Year's Eve. This is sweeping the floor. You won't clean again during the Spring Festival. From the first day to the fifth day, it is forbidden to take out the garbage, and it is not allowed to take out the garbage from inside or outside the door, so as not to destroy the family wealth.
