Why can’t I visit relatives and friends on the third day of the Lunar New Year? Let’s talk about it. I was at my wife’s house on the first day of the first lunar month and the second day of the first lunar month. Today I want to go and my dad won’t let me go. The reason is that I can’t do it on the third day of the lunar month.

1. The third day of the Lunar New Year is called the "Little New Year's Day" according to the ancients. There are many taboos, such as not going out to pay New Year greetings and going to bed early, etc.

2. In some places, the third day of the first lunar month is called "Red Dog Day". Legend has it that "Red Dog" is the "god of wrath", and anyone who meets him will definitely be unlucky, so the first day of the lunar month is called "Red Dog Day". The third day is an "unfortunate day" and it is not suitable to go out. It is said that whoever you pay New Year greetings on the third day of the Lunar New Year will quarrel with you, so you will not pay New Year greetings. In addition, the word "Chi" means "extreme poverty", so people do not entertain guests on this day, as it will offend the "Red Dog" and bring poverty. . Therefore, it is best to stay at home on this day and do not go to the homes of any relatives or friends to pay New Year greetings to avoid encountering evil spirits.

Honestly, I agree with what you said. We don’t celebrate the New Year on the third day of the Lunar New Year here, but I always feel that there are too few holidays. It’s really sad that I can’t celebrate the New Year on the third day of the Lunar New Year. But my dad said it’s okay to go outside to play. Yes, now every year on the third day of the Lunar New Year, our family invites relatives to play outside to save the country.
