There are two ways to eat dumplings on the fifth day of the first lunar month:

The first is: there are many taboos from the first to the fourth day of the lunar month, and people are not allowed to "act rashly" , on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, we welcome Po Wu, and all the previous taboos can be broken, so we eat dumplings to celebrate.

The second theory is: the fifth day of the Lunar New Year is to welcome the God of Wealth, and the shapes of dumplings and ingots are relatively close, so eating dumplings means wealth, good luck, and a good life in the new year. .

Send the Five Poor

There is a folk legend that Jiang Ziya’s wife, Ma, disliked Jiang Ziya’s poverty and forced him to repair himself. As a result, when Jiang Ziya became an immortal and became a god, Ma She also wanted to ask Jiang Ziya to make her a god, so Jiang Ziya made Ma the god of poverty. The five poverty here actually refers to "poor in intelligence, poor in learning, poor in literature, poor in life, and poor in friendship".

Of course, the common people are extremely tired of the Poor God, so on the fifth day of the first lunar month, they begin to clean up the unused things in their homes, send them outside, and set off firecrackers, which means to send the Poor God away so that the new year can be prosperous. The wealth will be strong and everything will go smoothly.
