Problems that may arise include financial loss and illness. Taboo 2: Don’t wash your hair Because "fa" means to get rich, and washing your hair on this day will wash away all your wealth and you will not be able to save anything for a year. Taboo 3: The rice jar must not be empty On that day, the rice jar in the kitchen at home must not be empty. It is best to fill it up with rice. There is an old saying that when the rice jar is empty, there is a risk of running out of food. Taboo 4: Elders cannot beat or scold children If a child cries because of being beaten, scolded or blamed by his parents, it will bring bad luck to the family. Therefore, parents should try not to let their children cry. Rumor has it that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the Emperor of Heaven, and celebration is the main thing. Taboo 5: Don’t do large mechanical work If tools or other equipment were damaged on this day, it would mean the disappearance of wealth in the coming year. Therefore, in ancient times, most businessmen would avoid operating large machinery on this day to avoid bad things from happening. Taboo: Don't tear your clothes On the day of the Lantern Festival, everyone is happy, so it is best not to tear your clothes or wear old shoes on that day, because everyone knows that "broken shoes" itself is a derogatory term, and in ancient times people often used it to scold those who were not decent. So everyone must not leave broken shoes at the door of your house, and also do not tear your clothes, otherwise the consequences of these two things will bring you bad luck in the coming year.
