The third day of the Lunar New Year, affectionately known as the day of "lying flat", carries many interesting and unique traditional customs. This day, also known as "Red Dog Day", originates from the legendary Red Dog, a fiery deity who may be lucky enough to bring bad omen. Therefore, people usually choose to stay at home on this day. In some parts of the south, in the morning, you will see people pasting red slips of paper with good wishes such as "peace in and out" and "good luck", which is called "red mouth", which is meant to break bad luck. These red notes are carefully pasted on the top of the door and the garbage, symbolizing the peace and success of the new year after abandoning strife.
