Can I go out on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year? Where is the rule?

The saying "Don't go out on July 7 and don't come home on August 8" comes from the Tujia people:
In their long-term production activities, the Tujia people have endowed some natural and human phenomena that they do not understand with a mysterious connotation. This mysterious connotation has become a taboo in the production and life of the Tujia people. The seventh day of the Lunar New Year is the Seven Evil Days, also known as “Human Day”. It is not advisable to do anything, especially traveling far. In order to ensure that everyone at home can stay at home, the elders eat noodles on this day. The idea is to tie up the legs of the children and prevent them from running around to prevent them from being taken away by ghosts.
The seventh day of the first lunar month is also known as "Renri", "Rensheng Festival" or "Qiyuan". This ancient festival has a history of at least two thousand years and is recorded in ancient books such as "Chuxueji", "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji" and "Xiqing Shihua". Poets especially like to use "Renri" as the theme and compose poems to express their feelings, such as Du Fu's poem: "This day and this time are shared by all, and we talk and laugh together." Taoism believes that chickens came first, followed by dogs, pigs, sheep, and horses, and only then did humans exist. Therefore, it is believed that if the weather is clear on the seventh day of the first lunar month, it is auspicious, indicating that people will be able to travel smoothly and the population will be safe in that year.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, people eat dishes made from seven kinds of vegetables, including celery, onion and garlic, which symbolize diligence and intelligence. At the same time, the seventh, seventeenth and twenty-seventh days of the first lunar month are all "people" days, and noodles should be eaten. Among them, the seventh day is the day for children, and the day means tripping the children's legs to bless them to grow up smoothly and safely; the seventeenth day is the day for middle-aged people, and the day means tripping the middle-aged people's legs; the twenty-seventh day is the day for the elderly, and the day means tripping the elderly's legs. But in the north, especially in Shandong and Liaoning, people eat dumplings instead of noodles on the seventh day of the New Year, because children are a synonym for the "villain" who slanders them, and making dumplings is to pinch the villain's mouth so that they will be less attacked and slandered by the villain in this year.
