The first day of the Lunar New Year is also the most important and solemn festival in our traditional culture. On this day, we all wish to be able to start the new year with good luck and pray for peace, health, happiness and prosperity for ourselves and our families. But, you know what? On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are some things that cannot be done, otherwise it will ruin the auspiciousness of the New Year and affect the fortune of the whole year. Below, let me tell you these four things not to do to make your Year of the Dragon smooth sailing!
1.Don't rush people to get up.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we all want to wake up early to welcome the first rays of sunshine of the new year, greet relatives and friends, and enjoy the festive atmosphere. However, some people may have slept more deeply and not easily wake up because they had a good night's vigil or played too late. At this time, we must not rush them to get up, because this will bring them stress and unhappiness, and affect their mood and luck. The ancients believed that the first day of the Lunar New Year was the day when yang energy began to be born and all things were revived, and it should be in line with nature, so that people could wake up naturally and welcome a new day. If you force people to get out of bed, it is equivalent to interrupting their good dreams, and it will also interrupt their good luck. So, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, let's all be more patient and tolerant, let the family get up freely and comfortably, give them a warm smile, and wish them a happy new year!
2.Do not sweep the floor and take out the garbage.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we all want our homes to be clean and tidy to make a good impression on ourselves and our visiting guests. However, we must not sweep the floor or take out the garbage on this day, because this will sweep away the wealth and good fortune of the family, and make ourselves and our families destitute in the new year. The ancients believed that dust is a part of wealth, and sweeping the floor or taking out the garbage on the first day of the new year is equivalent to sweeping the wealth out of the door, which will also annoy the "broom star" and attract bad luck. Therefore, we should do a big cleaning on the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, clean the house, do not touch the broom on the first day of the new year, keep the house tidy, and pray for prosperity and happiness throughout the year.
3.Do not eat porridge and bitter foods.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we all want to eat heartily and deliciously to satisfy our appetites, which also means that we will have a rich life and no worries about food and clothing in the new year. However, we must not eat porridge and bitter food on this day, because this will affect our wealth and fortune. The ancients believed that porridge represented scarcity, thinness, and sparseness, and eating porridge was equivalent to eating poor food, which would make oneself short of money and food in the new year, and make life difficult. Bitter food represents suffering, bitterness, and distress, and eating bitter food is equivalent to eating bitter fruit, which will make you encounter difficulties and feel bad in the new year. Therefore, we should eat some sweet foods on the first day of the Lunar New Year, such as dumplings, glutinous rice balls, rice cakes, candies, etc., which means sweet and sweet, and happy every year.
4.Don't hit or scold.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we all want to get along with our family and friends and share the joy of the festival, which also means that we will have harmonious relationships and everything will go smoothly in the new year. However, we must not hit or scold people on this day, because this will ruin the atmosphere of the New Year and affect the luck of ourselves and others. The ancients believed that beating or scolding would cause disputes and hatred, as well as anger and calamity. Therefore, we should be peaceful and friendly on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and do not engage in any form of conflict or quarrel, especially for children and animals, be more tolerant and loving, do not engage in corporal punishment or scolding, and wish them health, happiness, safety and success.
The above is what I want to tell you, don't do these four things on the first day of the new year, otherwise it will affect the fortune of the whole year. I hope you can keep these traditional taboos in mind, avoid unnecessary troubles and troubles, and let yourself and your family have smooth sailing, happiness and health in the Year of the Dragon!
