What do you do on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year?

Apart from gatherings between relatives and friends, there are many things to do on the fifth day of the first month, commonly known as the Broken Five Festival, which is one of the traditional festivals with a long history in China. It is named after China folklore, and many taboos can be broken before this day. Because this day carries too many people's hopes and longings, there are many taboos in ancient times, such as having to eat jiaozi, not cooking with uncooked rice and not letting women visit. In addition to the above taboos, the custom of breaking Mayday is mainly to send the poor, welcome the god of wealth and open the market for trade. According to the customs of different regions, many customs have changed. People love the new and hate the old, seeking good luck, but once the fireworks are released, the middle-aged and elderly people or children who are sleeping at this time will feel bad, and too many harmful gases will be emitted at this time of year. In some places in the south, only incense and tea are burned on this day, and no fireworks are set off. Therefore, everyone must pay attention to this day.
