The first day of the lunar new year
1. Break bowls, mirrors, and other glass and ceramic products to prevent China from losing money and wealth in the New Year. If you accidentally break the folk prescription, you should wrap it in red paper, put it on the altar first, and recite the auspicious words of "Peace through the years", and then discard it five days later.
Generally speaking, a married daughter can't go back to her parents' home on the first day of Chinese New Year. If the married daughter goes back to her mother's house, it means that she will be poor, usually in the second or third day, but the implication is that the married daughter is already the daughter-in-law of someone else's family, and many people in her husband's family will come to pay New Year greetings during the New Year, so she can't go back to her mother's house on the first day. Nowadays, many places or the elderly are still very concerned. If she is going back to her parents' house for the first time, she'd better consult with her elders according to local customs.
3, avoid borrowing money, the first day is taboo to borrow money from others, which means relying on foreign aid all the year round; It is also taboo to lend money to others on the first day of the month, just as you can't borrow money from others to bargain early in the morning, which means that the property has flowed out for a whole year.
4. Avoid eating porridge, meat and medicine for breakfast. In the past, the poor only ate porridge, and they had to eat dry food on the morning of New Year's Day, which meant that the family would be rich all year round. On the other hand, the morning of the first day of the new year is called the gathering of all the gods, which means that all the gods come out to pay New Year greetings. Therefore, in order to show respect, first of all, don't eat meat and be vegetarian. Except for having to eat because of a serious illness, it is best not to eat general tonics on New Year's Day.
5. Avoid calling others by their names to remind people. Don't wake up by name on the first morning of the new year, which means that you need to urge each other to do things all year round.
6. Avoid paying New Year greetings to people who are still sleeping. At the beginning of the year, don't pay New Year greetings to each other while they are still sleeping, wait until they get up, because this will make them lie in bed all year.
7. Don't move the knife and scissors. "The first time you move a knife and scissors, it is inevitable that your tongue is right and wrong." Don't move the needle "I moved the needle money in the first day and chose a long needle eye (the baby's eyes are as small as the needle eye)."
8. Avoid bathing, washing your hair and washing clothes on the morning of New Year's Day, so as not to wash away your fortune.
