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

According to traditional customs, it is not allowed to pay New Year greetings on the fifth day of the first month.

It is not an appropriate time to pay New Year greetings on the fifth day of the first month, because there is a custom of driving out the five poor.

The so-called five poverty refers to intellectual poverty, academic poverty, literary poverty, life poverty and social poverty.

On the fifth day of the first month, people get up at dawn, set off firecrackers, clean up, and set off firecrackers from the inside out, while walking outside the door. Everyone thinks that this is to blow out all unlucky things. If you go out to pay New Year's greetings, you are afraid of being touched by these filthy gases. If you go to other people's homes, you will also be hit by the bad luck that you have cleaned up. Therefore, if you really need to exchange information, you'd better stand outside and talk.

Therefore, it is not recommended to pay New Year greetings on the fifth day of the first month.
