On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the dawn of the new year is sprinkled all over the land of China, and everything is renewed and vibrant. This day is the beginning of the traditional Chinese New Year, carrying people's beautiful expectations and longing for the new year. On this special day, the customs and taboos passed down by the ancestors add a strong cultural atmosphere and mystery to the New Year.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is not advisable to sweep the floor. In traditional Chinese culture, sweeping the floor is often seen as sweeping away wealth and good luck. Therefore, people deliberately avoid sweeping the floor on this day in the hope of retaining good luck and wealth for the year. This custom not only reflects people's ardent yearning for a better life, but also demonstrates the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation of being industrious and thrifty and cherishing wealth.
At the same time, it is not advisable to take out the garbage on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Similar to sweeping the floor, taking out the garbage is also seen as taking away good luck and wealth. On this day, garbage will be temporarily piled up in a corner and will be disposed of again on the second day of the new year. This custom not only reflects people's reverence for the New Year, but also means to sweep away all the bad luck of the year and welcome the new year with a new attitude.
In addition, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you should avoid quarrels or swearing. The first day of the new year is a symbol of harmony and peace. On this day, people hope to greet friends and relatives with warm words and smiles, and let the whole family and society be filled with positive energy. This custom is a vivid embodiment of the Chinese nation's traditional virtue of attaching importance to family harmony and pursuing social stability.
It is worth mentioning that it is not advisable to take a nap on the first day of the Lunar New Year. In traditional Chinese culture, napping is seen as a sign of laziness. And on the first day of the new year, people should stay in good spirits and welcome the new year with a positive attitude. Therefore, on this day, we should actively participate in various activities to fill every corner of life with the joy and vitality of the New Year.
Although these taboos and customs on the first day of the Lunar New Year may have a certain superstitious color in modern society, they carry the profound cultural traditions and national wisdom of the Chinese nation. Through these customs, we can not only feel the Chinese's ardent yearning and unremitting pursuit of a better life, but also have a deeper understanding of the traditional virtues and values of the Chinese nation.
In the new year, let's abide by these traditions and customs together and meet every challenge and opportunity with a positive attitude. I believe that with our joint efforts, the new year will be prosperous, smooth and smooth! At the same time, it also allows us to pass on these traditional cultures and make them shine more brilliantly in the new era.
