In the blink of an eye, the time came to the fifth day of the first month. It is a relatively important time node, also known as "breaking five", which means that many taboos in the days leading up to the Lunar New Year can be broken after this day.
When the fifth day of the first lunar month comes, the people often have to "send the poor", "receive the God of Wealth", and "break the five" as soon as it arrives, which means that the first stage of the New Year's activities is basically over.
Why do you want to "send the poor" at this time?
Legend has it that the birthday of the God of Wealth is the fifth day of the first month, and this day has become an auspicious day for the people to welcome the God of Wealth, especially the merchants, who attach great importance to it.
According to traditional customs, people should paste the statue of the God of Wealth, set off firecrackers, and worship the God of Wealth. After the "Breaking Five", merchants can open their doors to do business, and people can also participate in some public activities.
As the saying goes, "after Laba is the New Year". In ancient society, the material life was not rich enough, and the common people stipulated many taboos for the year, hoping for a good start to the year.
The customs on the fifth day of the first lunar month may be slightly different in various places, but they all place people's good wishes on warding off evil spirits and eliminating disasters and welcoming auspicious blessings.
The reason why there is a saying of "breaking me" may also come from homophony, which is intended to take the opportunity of "sending poverty" and "receiving wealth" to break their own fame and fortune and reasonable thoughts, so as to.
We always say, if you don't break it, you can't stand it. The "establishment" here is not so simple, but requires long-term years of accumulation, even if a person is a teenager or an old man, or is talented, he needs to go through "breaking" again and again in order to have the opportunity to make new discoveries and possibly grow in cultivation.
I hope that everyone will not be afraid of trial and error, break the old obstacles and shackles, and in the painful transformation, the chicks can break out of the shell, and the butterflies can break out of the cocoon and be reborn.
