In traditional Chinese culture, the first day of the first lunar month is considered to be the day of renewal and the beginning of the new year. For Chinese people, the arrival of the first day of the first lunar month marks the beginning of the new year, so it is necessary to pay special attention to some customs and taboos.
Secondly, one of the taboos on the first day of the first lunar month is that it is not advisable to sweep the house. Traditional culture believes that sweeping the house will sweep away good luck and wealth, so on the first day of the first lunar month, people generally do not clean the house, so as not to "clean" the good luck of the new year. It is also to keep the good luck of the New Year at home and bring good luck and peace to the family.
In addition, breaking things is also one of the taboos on the first day of the first lunar month. On this day, people try to avoid breaking anything, as breaking things symbolizes constant fortune for the year. Therefore, people are also very careful to try to avoid accidentally destroying something.
In addition, on the first day of the first lunar month, it is also necessary to pay attention to the inappropriateness of debt collection. In traditional Chinese culture, it is believed that the first day of the first lunar month is a harmonious and peaceful day, which is not suitable for debt collection on this day, so as not to bring about a year's debt problems. People hope that this day will be peaceful and welcoming the arrival of the New Year.
There is also a taboo not to taboo "four". In China, the number "four" is a homonym for "death", so people avoid mentioning "four" on the first day of the first lunar month to avoid bad omen.
Finally, one of the taboos to be aware of on the first day of the first lunar month is not to mention the loss of property. On this day, people are reluctant to talk about any loss of money and hope for a new year with abundant wealth and good fortune.
With this understanding, we can better follow these taboos and customs on the first day of the first lunar month in order to achieve auspiciousness, happiness and peace for the year.
