The fifth day of the first lunar month, commonly known as the Breaking Five Festival, is one of the traditional festivals in our country. Nowadays, it seems that the so-called taboos and customs of the old days are really unique and ridiculous.
I remember when I was a child, every family had to eat dumplings on this day, saying that it was to avoid the scourge of slander, but who knows how much "auspiciousness" and "blessing" are hidden in dumplings? And those rules that say that you can't cook with raw rice are even more weird, what's wrong with cooking raw rice? Perhaps this is just a helpless move by the ancients to resist bad luck in various ways.
However, the most interesting thing is the "sending the poor" and "cleaning" of those people. On the fifth day of the first lunar month, people hurriedly swept the dirt in the house into bags, and then sent it to the door to blow it up, as if it was not only the dirt that was blown away, but also the poor luck of the year. The cleaning is a thorough ritual, the broom carries the expectation of every household, sweeping out the door is not only garbage, but also the bad luck of the year, which is really dripping.
In my opinion, the deep meaning behind these taboos and customs is worth playing. They may be people's expectations and prayers for the future, or they may be farewell and washing away from the past. The fifth day of the first lunar month is not only a custom, but also a state of mind, a yearning and expectation for the New Year.
And for us today, we may find a different kind of fun in it. On this day, we may not be bound by tradition, but it does not prevent us from preserving some ancient customs, because these customs not only represent our traditional culture, but also contain our yearning for a better future.
However, I also think that there should be a balance between tradition and modernity. We can respect traditions, but we must also conform to the trend of the times, and we must not let ancient customs shackle our thinking and behavior. Only in the blend of tradition and modernity can we continue to create a better and more colorful life.
As the old saying goes, "Sweep away all bad luck and welcome the beauty of the new year." "On this special day, let us let go of our worries, put aside our sorrows, feel the beauty of life with our hearts, and welcome the arrival of the New Year with our actions.
On the fifth day of the first month, the ban was broken, and everything was sent to the poor to open the market. Seek auspiciousness in the cleaning, and sacrifice to the God of Wealth to enlighten Fuchun.
Don't break the ground, how much do you know about the taboos in the farm. The years change to spread the customs, and the five prayers are broken to welcome the arrival of spring.
