New Year's Day, as one of the traditional Chinese festivals, is an important moment for us to welcome the New Year. On this special day, in addition to doing some festive activities, we also need to pay attention to avoid some taboo behaviors. Let's take a look at these taboos and continue the tradition to keep the Year of the Dragon running smoothly.
On New Year's Day, many people do a big cleaning to welcome the arrival of the new year. However, care needs to be taken to avoid sweeping the dust to the door or out of the door during the dusting process. Because in traditional Chinese culture, the door is regarded as a place where wealth enters and exits, and if the dust is swept to the door or out of the door, it is considered to be abandoning wealth. Therefore, be especially careful when cleaning to avoid committing this taboo.
Cutting hair on New Year's Day is considered unlucky. Because "haircut" is homophonic to "broken hair", it is regarded as a symbol of cutting off wealth and luck in Chinese culture. As a result, many people choose to cut their hair before or after New Year's Day to avoid adversely affecting their fortunes. So, on New Year's Day, we should try to avoid cutting our hair to save our good luck.
On New Year's Day, we should try to avoid destroying things or breaking the bank, intentionally or unintentionally. Because in traditional Chinese culture, breaking wealth is considered an unlucky thing, which will bring bad luck and bad luck to oneself. Therefore, on New Year's Day, we must take special care to protect our belongings and avoid unnecessary losses.
In addition to the above three taboos, there are some traditional customs on New Year's Day that we need to continue and pay attention to. For example, ancestor worship and so on. These customs are an important part of traditional Chinese culture, and by continuing and attaching importance to these customs, we can better inherit and promote the excellent culture of the Chinese nation.
