Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-02-14

The fifth day of the first lunar month is a traditional festival full of festivity, also known as the "Festival of Welcoming the God of Wealth". On this day, various celebrations are held to welcome the arrival of the God of Wealth, hoping that he will bring good luck and wealth to the family. However, there are also some rules and taboos that need to be followed in the process of welcoming the God of Wealth.

According to the ancient tradition, "1 do not go, 2 do not touch, 3 do not stay, 4 do" are the four aspects that need to be paid attention to during the greeting of the God of Wealth. First of all, you can't go out to visit relatives and friends, so as not to affect your fortune; Secondly, it is best to avoid activities such as digging or getting a haircut on this day, as it is believed that this will lead to a decline in family luck or personal misfortune. In addition to this, there are other taboos and rules to follow.

One of them is the rule that garbage, old shoes, and broken dishes cannot be left behind. According to traditional customs, the room should be thoroughly cleaned and all garbage should be removed during the welcome to the God of Wealth, so as to reserve a clean and tidy living environment for the God of Wealth, and hope that he will bring good luck and wealth to the family. In the same way, old shoes and broken dishes cannot be left behind, as they are believed to represent the distance traveled and the difficulties and struggles of past years, respectively. Therefore, they should be disposed of or replaced on the fifth day of the first lunar month.

During the welcoming of the God of Wealth, there are also some customs and regulations that are strictly respected, such as setting off firecrackers, receiving the God of Wealth, dismantling the villain and chopping the stuffing and pinching the villain's mouth. Firecrackers are one of the common and important customs in traditional Chinese folk festivals, through which firecrackers can expel the ** forces and bring auspiciousness and peace. Receiving the God of Wealth, on the other hand, refers to the ritual reception of the God of Wealth and the hope that he will bring good luck and prosperity to the family. Splitting the villain and chopping the stuffing and pinching the villain's mouth means eliminating the villain or bad things that plague your family or personal fortune, and creating a happy and stable living environment for yourself.

In short, during the fifth day of the first lunar month, you need to pay attention to various rules and taboos in order to absorb the good luck and blessings that the New Year brings. Whether it is following the principle of "1 do not go, 2 do not touch, 3 do not stay, 4 to do" or participate in activities such as setting off firecrackers, receiving the God of Wealth, dismantling the villain and chopping the stuffing and pinching the villain's mouth, etc., can increase our chances of spending a wishful and auspicious New Year.

Although most of the above customs and regulations have no scientific basis, they are combined with superstitious ideas to form a complete and complex traditional cultural system with profound meanings, interesting and thought-provoking. So we can think of them as simple as a game of life, but don't take them seriously. Finally, I wish you all a happy family, good luck, good health, and a happy life!
