The fifth day of the first lunar month falls on the fifth day of the lunar calendar, which is named after China folk custom that many taboos can be broken before this day.

Another name for the fifth day of the first month

Cow Day: It is said that Nu Wa first created chickens, dogs, pigs, sheep, cows and horses in six days, and finally created human beings on the seventh day, and the fifth day corresponds to cows, so the fifth day of the first month is also called Cow Day.

Round year: In some places, the fifth day of the new year is also called "round year", which means a happy ending. On this day, we should make a summary and draw a full stop. In fact, this is a variant of "Breaking Five", which evolved slowly because I don't know the origin of "Breaking Five".

It is not surprising that this day is very important because the fifth day shoulders multiple heavy responsibilities such as sending the poor god and receiving the god of wealth. When all these stresses are combined, customs are formed-banquets, firecrackers, eating jiaozi, a symbol of "Yuanbao", and so on.
