Taboos on New Year's Eve

New Year’s Eve is also called “New Year’s Eve”. New Year's Eve is also called Dachu, which means New Year's Eve. It refers to the last night of the twelfth lunar month. It is connected with the Spring Festival (the first day of the first lunar month), that is, the night before the Spring Festival. Because it is often on the 30th or 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, it is also called New Year's Eve. The last day of the year is called "Sui Chu" and the night of that day is called "New Year's Eve".
There are many taboos on New Year’s Eve. For example, avoid saying unlucky words such as ghost, death, and killing, avoid breaking dishes, avoid using bad words, avoid urinating and defecating anywhere, avoid throwing dirty water and lamp oil on the ground, etc. When New Year's Eve comes, people celebrate the festival and celebrate the harvest while taking a bath, changing clothes, and cleaning to drive away diseases and evil spirits. Especially during the New Year’s Eve dinner, there are more taboos.
When elders give younger generations more rice and dishes, if the younger generation is full and doesn’t want more, they cannot say “no” but “I’ve got some”; if they have finished some tea and snacks, they should say “I’m full” or “There’s too much” instead of just saying “There’s no more”… These auspicious words are people’s “New Year’s Eve homework”, and adults should teach children to say them, otherwise the new year will not be smooth. Avoid saying unlucky words such as "broken", "death", "illness", "lose" and "defeat"; if you accidentally violate the taboo, you should avoid possible ominous consequences by spitting or saying "children's words are innocent".
Before eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, you must first prepare offerings to worship your ancestors. Before inviting the ancestral spirits, family members and items must be present, otherwise the family will not be reunited and the wealth will not be complete. After the ancestral spirits are invited, no one is allowed to occupy the seats on both sides of the altar, which means that one cannot compete with the ancestors for seats; no one is allowed to make noise or swear, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the ancestors; no one is allowed to spill leftover tea on the ground, so as not to confuse pouring offerings with splashing water; when offering sacrifices to the ancestral spirits, one is not allowed to shout out the names of children, so as not to be heard by the homeless ghosts outside the gate and cause the children to die. During a formal meal, it is very taboo to be disturbed by others, especially not to have someone visit, because this is called "stepping on the New Year's dinner", which will make the whole family restless.
After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, there is a custom of staying up all night on New Year’s Eve. The whole family gathers together, sits around the fire, reminisces about the past and talks about the present, talks about good wishes, and places hope on the new year, thus staying up all night. At the same time, some taboos should be observed when staying up all night. It is taboo to make loud noises so as not to wake up the devil; it is taboo to look in the mirror so as not to see the "devil"; it is taboo to pour lamp oil on the ground. If the smell of oil dilutes the smell of wine, the "devil" will wake up and cause disasters to follow; it is taboo to break objects, which means that there will be "bad luck" this year. The remedy is to wrap them in red paper, recite auspicious words such as "peace every year", and place them on the altar for a few days to resolve the disaster.
