What day of the week is the Chinese New Year in 2018? Are there any taboos?
"The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year." The new year is coming. The Spring Festival is a traditional Chinese festival and people will reunite when the Spring Festival comes. Eat New Year’s Eve dinner, set off firecrackers, and stay up late. So if you want to know more about the 2018 Spring Festival, then continue to wander in the 2018 Spring Festival special topic on the Fortune Teller website! The first day of the first lunar month of the year 2018 is Friday, February 16, 2018 New Year's Day:
1. A married daughter cannot return to her parents' home: If a married daughter returns to her parents' home during the Chinese New Year, her parents' home will go bankrupt, so she can only return on the second or third day of the Chinese New Year. However, the implication is that a married daughter is already someone else's daughter-in-law, and there will be many people coming to her husband's house to pay New Year's greetings, and the daughter-in-law has to help serve tea, so she cannot return on the first day of the Chinese New Year.
2. Avoid eating porridge, meat and medicine for breakfast: In the past, only poor families ate porridge, so you must eat dry rice in the morning of the first day of the new year, which means that the family will be rich throughout the year. The morning of the first day of the new year is called the Grand Gathering of All Gods, which means that all the gods have come out to pay New Year's greetings. Therefore, to show respect, you should not eat meat but should eat vegetarian food. In addition, except for those who have to eat due to serious illness, it is best not to eat general tonics on the first day of the new year.
3. Avoid calling others by their names to wake them up: Do not call others by their names to wake them up in the morning of the first day of the new year, as this means that the other person will need to be urged to do things throughout the year.
4. Avoid wishing a happy new year to someone who is still sleeping: Do not wish a happy new year to someone who is still sleeping on the first day of the new year. Wait until the person wakes up before wishing a happy new year, because this will make the person stay in bed for the whole year.
Avoid washing clothes on the first and second days of the Chinese New Year: There is a water god in water, and the water god’s birthday is on the first and second days of the Chinese New Year, so don’t wash clothes on these two days.
From the first to the fifth day of the Chinese New Year:
1. No naps during the day: Taking a nap during the day during the Chinese New Year means that you will be lazy for the whole year. The implication is that during the Chinese New Year there are many guests visiting your home to pay New Year’s greetings, and taking a nap would be disrespectful to others.
2. Avoid dumping sewage, garbage, and sweeping the floor: Do not do sweeping work during the New Year period, as this will easily sweep away the wealth in the home.
3. Avoid letting others take things out of your pocket: Do not let others take things out of your pocket during the Chinese New Year, as this means that all your money for the entire year will be taken away by others.
4. Avoid asking for debts from others: During the Chinese New Year, whether the person being asked to pay a debt or the person asking for a debt from others will be unlucky for the whole year, so it is taboo to ask for debts from others.
Taboos on the first day of the Chinese New Year: Rooster Day - in the old days people would put up pictures on New Year's Day to ward off evil spirits and pray for good luck.
Taboos on the second day of the Chinese New Year: Dog Day - going out to pay New Year’s greetings or worship ancestors.
Taboos on the third day of the Lunar New Year: Sheep Day - "Red Mouth", prone to quarrels, not suitable for New Year's greetings.
Taboos on the fourth day of the Chinese New Year: Pig Day - worship the God of Wealth.
Taboos on the fifth day of the Chinese New Year: "Po Wu", which can break many taboos; the birthday of the Five Gods of Wealth, welcome the God of Wealth.
Taboos on the sixth day of the Chinese New Year: Horse Day - the day to "send off the gods", shops begin to reopen.
Taboos on the seventh day of the Chinese New Year: Renri - people’s birthday, gatherings for food and drinks, setting off fireworks, it is also the “birthday of fire”.
Taboos on the eighth day of the Chinese New Year: Grain Day - the stars descend to the earth, and people should offer sacrifices to them. Temples set up altars on this day to offer sacrifices to the stars and accept donations.
Taboos on the ninth day of the Chinese New Year: It is the birthday of the Jade Emperor and a grand ceremony to worship the Lord of Heaven is held.
Taboos on the tenth day of the Chinese New Year: Birthday of Stone - Avoid using any stone tools such as millstones, pestles and rollers.
