Can I pay a New Year call on the fifth day?

Of course, you can pay New Year greetings, and customs vary from place to place. Some places can't go out on the first day, and there is nothing to pay attention to on the fifth day. On the fifth day of the first month, commonly known as "breaking the fifth" and "breaking the fifth", the custom of "driving the five poor" will rise in many places.

"Five poverty" is also called "five ghosts", which means "poor in intelligence, poor in learning, poor in literature, poor in life and poor in friends". People get up at dawn, set off firecrackers and clean up. Drive away all "bad luck" and "poverty"! It reflects people's traditional psychology of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

As soon as eating jiaozi passed the fifth day, it basically passed the New Year's Eve, and I was no longer taboo, so I wanted to eat jiaozi to congratulate. There are also places that say "Bao jiaozi" is to shut up the villain and speak ill of him next year. From the evening of the 3rd to the early morning of the 4th, many people will "welcome the God of Wealth" by setting off firecrackers. The fifth day of the first month is the birthday of the god of wealth, and the old custom holds that opening a shop on this day will definitely make a fortune.

There is another interesting legend about the origin of "Breaking Five"! It turns out that on New Year's Eve, when people invite God, they forget the dirty God. She was angry and went to Maitreya to make trouble. Maitreya smiled, but did not answer. I was so dirty that I beat my chest and knocked my hair off. Maitreya saw that the situation was about to get serious and said, "Let's do it! Today is the fifth day, let people do it again.

You set off some firecrackers and pack a jiaozi, which costs a lot of money! "。 That's how "Breaking Five" came about ~ ~
