As the old saying goes: "If you don't go on New Year's Day, you go to your relatives to cry".Let's take a look at the specifics.
New Year's Day, as the first day of the new year, has many customs and taboos among the people. People usually want to get a good fortune, so they will be taboo about some things. Old people often say: "I don't go to New Year's Day, and I go to cry with my relatives."
1. Don't go to unfamiliar barren mountains and mountains.
During the New Year's Day holiday, many people choose to go out, especially to enjoy the snow in the mountains. However, at this time, it is important to avoid going to unfamiliar barren mountains and mountains. The scenery in the mountains after heavy snow is similar, and it is easy to lose your direction, increasing the risk of getting lost. In addition, during the New Year's Day, there is a custom of reunion in most areas, so it is not advisable to go out, and it is best to celebrate the festival at home with your family.
2. Don't go to the water's edge.
Despite the cold weather, there are still people who like to go to the water's edge to play with ice. However, there are significant safety hazards associated with walking on ice. The thickness of the ice is uneven, and it is easy for the ice surface to break and cause people to fall into the water. During the cold winter months, it is very dangerous after falling into the water. Therefore, the elderly will tell their families not to go to the water's edge to play with ice.
In general, these two undesirable places are for the safety of people. Avoid these two places not only on New Year's Day, but also during other times of winter. After all, going to the wilderness and waterside in the winter is a big safety risk.
Through this old saying, we can see the good expectations of the ancestors for the New Year and the warning to future generations. Many taboos and taboos are a habit that people form spontaneously, and when more and more people start to enforce them, a local custom will slowly form. As we face the first day of the new year, people wish for a smooth whole year. At this time, you will consciously avoid some bad things to avoid affecting the fortune of the New Year.
At the same time, many things have been summed up, and the ancestors have summarized them with their own real experiences. In other words, many things do have some truth that deserves everyone's attention.
