The first day of the Lunar New Year marks the beginning of the Lunar New Year, a day that carries people's visions and deep expectations for the future. On this day, a series of traditional customs and taboos are widely inherited, which are not only the embodiment of cultural traditions, but also people's pursuit and yearning for a happy life.
According to tradition, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, people will eat foods that symbolize sweetness and happiness, such as rice cakes, candies and other desserts, symbolizing a sweet life and a prosperous career in the new year. At the same time, in order to avoid sweeping away good luck, cleaning and the use of brooms are prohibited; Not touching the needle and thread and not washing clothes is also to prevent the loss of wealth and luck. In addition, there are a number of dietary concerns, such as avoiding gruel and bitter foods, as they represent poverty and hardship, while meat dishes are not suitable for consumption because they are considered bad omen in some places.
In addition to the above-mentioned dietary and cleanliness taboos, there are other taboos, such as avoiding lending money to others, as this can lead to bad financial luck throughout the year; Taking out the garbage is also not allowed, so as not to throw out good luck. Although these customs and taboos may no longer be strictly enforced in modern society, they are still an important part of the treasure house of Chinese culture, reflecting the history and cultural heritage of the nation.
Although different people have different opinions about these customs and taboos, some insist that they are culturally significant, while others regard them as outdated superstitions. However, regardless of our personal opinions, we should respect these traditional cultures and pass on and preserve them as much as possible, so that they can continue to flourish in the new era and add more color and meaning to our lives. Celebrate the New Year in peace and auspiciousness
