Who are the three people who don't pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the first month? Pursue the tradition of auspiciousness and avoid visiting
People over the age of 60 should not go to the Chinese New Year to pay their respects.
The first day of the Lunar New Year is an important festival for the Chinese and an important festival in China. This day is especially meaningful for people in their 60s. According to the traditional view, the age of 60 is a major turning point, marking the end of the whole life and the beginning of a new period. So seniors in their 60s are generally respected at home. But on New Year's Day, they did not go, in fact, it is also a kind of respect for the wisdom and longevity of their elders. This is also influenced by the traditional idea of the elderly respecting their elders. Not only are they not considered "unpopular", but they are respected by their families because of their status and identity in the family. In addition, during the Chinese New Year, the temperature is generally relatively low, so the elderly are more susceptible to wind cold. In order to take care of the health of the elderly, family members would rather let them relax at home than go out to pay New Year's greetings to them.
Pregnant women should not come to pay New Year's greetings.
In addition, there is another group of women, that is, pregnant women, who are not allowed to go out to pay New Year's greetings to their parents on New Year's Day. This is done both to protect the unborn child and for the sake of the pregnant person's own body. Because pregnant women have a special constitution, they should pay more attention. During the Spring Festival, during the Spring Festival, people will encounter many factors such as crowding, noisy environment, and inconvenient transportation, which bring great safety hazards to mothers and babies. Therefore, family members will advise them to stay at home so that their family members can also receive "New Year's wishes" from family members. This is not only the care for pregnant women, but also the care for newborns, but also a kind of respect for life.
If a family had died a year earlier, they couldn't go.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, in addition to the elderly and pregnant women, there is also a category of people who will not go out, that is, those who died a year ago. According to Chinese custom, if a member of the family dies, it is common to mourn for him for three years. During these three years, no weddings shall be held in the home, no Spring Festival couplets shall be pasted, and no Spring Festival shall be allowed. The first day of the Lunar New Year is the first day of the new year, the most critical day of the year, and the most lively time. Therefore, if a relative dies within a year, he or she will generally not go to the New Year again and will not receive relatives and friends. This is a careful care of the feelings of the loved ones, and it is a respect and mourning for the deceased. Such a custom is not only a respect for the deceased, but also a way for relatives to remember and pass on their thoughts to their loved ones with peace of mind during this festive festival.
Conclusion. The custom of "not worshipping on the third day of the first month" reflects the fine character of the Chinese people in respecting the old and loving the young, taking care of pregnant women, and respecting the dead. In today's fast-paced and stressful era of life, we must inherit and carry forward this excellent traditional culture. Although the changes of the times have changed the customs and habits of many people, as long as we understand the profound meaning, we can face the New Year with an attitude of awe and calm.
