Why can't I go to someone else's house on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year?

First of all, speaking of the fifth day of the first month, it is also called "Five Horses Day" to send the poor. You should clean your home and outside, get rid of the musty smell, send away the word "poor", wash clothes and tidy your room. Therefore, don't go to other people's homes or relatives on the fifth day, and don't entertain them. On the fifth day of the first month, there is a custom called "driving the five poor" (poor intelligence, poor study, poor literature, poor life and poor friendship). Also known as breaking five. China folklore once said that many taboos could be broken before the Fifth Five-Year Plan. Moreover, there is a saying that the first child, the second child, the third child and the fourth child go to the neighborhood, which means that the first child pays New Year greetings to parents and elders, the second child pays New Year greetings to parents-in-law, and the third child visits each other.

Secondly, in ancient times, there were many taboos on this day, such as having to eat jiaozi, not cooking with raw rice, and not allowing women to visit. Nowadays, the folk custom of "breaking the Five Years" has evolved into the meaning of "sending the Year". Therefore, people sometimes feel unhappy about not visiting relatives on the fifth day of the first month, and most people who understand the truth have consciously implemented this. Moreover, after the "breaking five", it is generally necessary to choose an auspicious day to open the business, and the sixth day of the Lunar New Year is usually regarded as a good day for "opening the market". Therefore, many businesses will make all preparations for opening the market on the fifth day.

However, in some places, there is such a custom to avoid seeing the poor god, that is, kannika nimtragol. In some places, it is simply called "seeing the poor daughter-in-law on the fifth day and going out to meet the God of Wealth". In fact, it is the disrespect for women in ancient times, so there is no need to take it too seriously. Now the Spring Festival is for family reunion. If there is such a stress in the local area, it will be a reunion year! And now young people have a fast pace, and they only have seven days off for the Chinese New Year, and they have to visit relatives and friends. In order to save time, they don't care about these old rules. Now I don't believe this, everything is easy-going and everything is unscrupulous.
