You should never wash clothes on that day, lest you wash away blessings, career advancement, and wealth. Things not to do on New Year's Day: Avoid borrowing money or lending money to others The traditional concept is that "if you borrow money from others on the first day of the new year, you will rely on external aid all year round; if you lend money to others on the first day of the new year, your property will flow out for the whole year." Therefore, it is best not to borrow money or lend money to others on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Things not to do on New Year's Day: Avoid breaking pots, pans, etc. Breaking pots, pans, and utensils on New Year's Day means bad luck for the whole year. However, in today's society, it doesn't matter when children accidentally break furniture. As long as the adults quickly say, "Good luck with the new year, good luck with the new year, and peace every year", the bad luck will be turned into good luck. Things you shouldn’t do on New Year’s Day: Avoid saying unlucky words like death. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people will ask children to be careful with their words and not to say unlucky words, such as "beat, kill, die, poor, ghost, etc.". However, just in case, many families will choose to post red paper stickers with the words "Children's words are safe" to ward off evil. Things not to do on New Year's Day: Avoid sweeping the floor and water at home You cannot sweep the floor or pour water on the first day of the New Year, for fear that this will take away the wealth. However, on the first day of the New Year, the whole family reunites, and people come and go to pay New Year's greetings. They eat peanuts, melon seeds, fruits, and smoke, and the peeled skins, shells, residue, paper scraps, and cigarette butts are all over the floor. They have to sweep the floor, so people come up with a workaround - they sweep inwards instead of outwards, symbolizing treasure coming in. After sweeping, the floor is put into the trash can or wastebasket instead of being thrown away, and the treasure is retained. Things you shouldn’t do on the first day of the Lunar New Year: Avoid asking for debts or being asked to pay debts It is not a good time to be asked to pay debts or to ask others to pay debts during the Chinese New Year. Traditional thinking holds that you will be unlucky throughout the year.
