First, avoid going out to pay New Year's greetings
Because the third day of the Lunar New Year is also called "Red Dog Day", which is an unlucky day. Legend has it that the red dog is the god of anger, and there will be evil things in the encounter, so in folklore, it is a custom to not go out to stay at home on this day to avoid encountering evil things. Therefore, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, don't go out to pay New Year's greetings and run errands, it's best to stay at home and have a peace of mind.
Second, avoid lighting the lamp
Legend has it that the third day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the rats get married, and at night they should turn off the lights and go to bed early so as not to disturb the mice. It is also said that the lights are turned off early at night so that the rats cannot see and marry, so as to reduce the rate of their reproduction. In contemporary times, no matter what this folk custom is, its moral is beautiful, and the old tradition still has to be observed, and the lights should be turned off early on the third day of the junior high school.
3. Avoid scissors and knives
There is a folk saying that "if you use knives and scissors on the third day of the new year, it is inevitable that the tongue is right and wrong", so it is not appropriate to use knives or scissors from the first day of the new year to the third day of the new year. Therefore, respect the old tradition, in order to be auspicious, avoid it if you can.
Fourth, avoid eating rice
The third day of the new year is regarded as the birthday of the millet, and there is a custom of avoiding eating rice so as not to affect the grain harvest. So on this day, we don't eat rice, just change the taste, eat pasta instead, and make zygotes for our family to eat, which is also a respect for the god of grains, praying for a good harvest and good luck.
Do 4 things
First, stick the red mouth
The so-called "red mouth" is generally a red slip of paper about seven or eight inches long and one inch wide, on which some words are written about the safety and auspiciousness of entering and exiting, and pasted on the top of the front door and the back door. Sticking "red mouth" is to make people psychologically feel that they can go in and out of peace all year round, do not quarrel with people or do not have various unfortunate disasters, and have more wealth and treasure at home, and everything goes well.
Second, the god of burning the door
In the old days, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, the traditional custom was to burn the door god. On this day, people will burn the pine and cypress branches during the New Year and the door and door notes hung during the festival to show that the year has passed and they are about to start making a living.
Third, go to bed early and get up late
The New Year's ballad "the first morning of the new year, the second morning of the new year, and the third day of the new year are full of sleep", in traditional culture, people have to get up late on the third day of the new year. Because I am very tired from Chinese New Year's Eve to the second day of the new year, I can go to bed early and get up late on the third day of the new year, so as to regulate my body and nourish my spirit, so as to prepare for the new year. On the other hand, many customs also happen to require people to stay at home. Therefore, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, everyone can sleep until they wake up naturally, and at this time, they can sleep enough.
Three, eat zygotes
The folk proverb says: "The first dumpling is the first two sides, and the third zygote goes home." "The zygote represents harmony and beauty, harmony and wealth, and wealth is abundant.
When branding the zygote, you have to turn the bottom to avoid paste, which means that you will go home (earn) non-stop.
