First, the New Year's Day taboo
1, don't sweep the floor and do laundry.
As the first day of the new year, our ancestors said that "we can only get in and out". Even things like washing clothes and sweeping the floor should be done as far as possible in the 30 th of the year.
Remember not to pay New Year greetings to people who are lying down.
It is also a custom passed down for thousands of years to go from door to door to pay New Year greetings. Because according to tradition, the focus of New Year's greetings lies in the word "worship", which is a ritual of bowing down and a gift from the younger generation to the older generation.
3. Don't eat porridge in the morning
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that in an agricultural society, whether there is a good harvest depends entirely on the climatic conditions of that year. It is precisely because of this that I deeply feel the value of having a bumper harvest year. Without sufficient grain reserves, the whole family will go hungry, so there will be no children and grandchildren, and the population will flourish.
Second, pay attention to the New Year's Day
1, say hello to everyone.
Whether you live in a high-rise building or a remote mountain village, whether you are a rich chairman or a migrant worker with empty pockets, after getting up on the first day of the New Year, you should put on new clothes and shoes, freshen up and pay a clean New Year call to your elders. Say "Happy New Year" to people you know, and people you don't know should nod and smile to show their friendship.
2. You can't tear the couplets.
New Year's Day is the first day of the new year. It's unlucky to break a bowl or tear something. There is also a folk saying that couplets are the faces of ancestors. If they are torn off or torn, the ancestors will be disfigured and ashamed to meet people.
3. Don't pay New Year greetings to people who are still in filial piety.
Traditionally, someone died in the family, and the Spring Festival couplets were not pasted or pasted in white and green for three years to show respect for the deceased. You can't go to such relatives and friends' homes during the New Year.
