Avoid letting the rice jar run dry It is taboo to have the rice jar empty during the Lantern Festival, as there is an old saying that running out of food could lead to disaster. 2. Avoid tearing clothes It is taboo to have torn clothes during the Lantern Festival, and you cannot wear torn clothes, otherwise you will be plagued by bad luck for the whole year. 3. Avoid lending money to others It is taboo to lend money to others during the Lantern Festival. It is said that if you lend money to others on this day, your own luck will also be borrowed away. 4. Avoid killing or seeing blood It is taboo to kill animals on the Lantern Festival, especially killing fish and chickens at home, because seeing blood on this day is a bad omen, implying financial loss and illness. 5. Avoid saying unlucky words It is taboo to swear on the Lantern Festival. If you say something unlucky on this day, you will suffer misfortune this year and bring big disasters due to inadvertently saying the wrong thing. 6. Avoid losing money It is taboo to carry too much money on the Lantern Festival. If you lose your belongings on this day, it means that you are unable to take care of your pocket and will miss opportunities in the year. 7. Avoid children crying It is taboo to let children cry during the Lantern Festival, because according to legend, this day is the birthday of the Emperor of Heaven and it is a day of celebration. Children crying will bring bad luck to the family. 8. Avoid wearing black and white It is taboo to wear white and black clothes during the Lantern Festival. These two colors are closely related to death. Seeing these two colors on the day of celebration will make the wearer fail to get what they want. 9. Avoid washing your hair or getting a haircut It is taboo to wash your hair on the Lantern Festival because the Chinese character for hair (发) and the Chinese character for wealth (发) are the same character in Chinese. So getting a haircut or washing your hair on this day has the meaning of washing away your wealth, which means you will not be able to save any money or will go bankrupt in the coming year. 10. Avoid damaging tools The Lantern Festival avoids the damage of tools or other equipment, which means the disappearance of wealth in the coming year. Therefore, most businessmen will avoid operating large machinery on this day to prevent bad things from happening. 11. Avoid being contaminated by bad luck During the Lantern Festival, it is taboo to go to places with heavy negative energy or bad luck, such as graves, desolate places, hospitals, etc. Especially people with weak yang energy or in poor health should not be exposed to too much bad luck on this day. 12. Avoid burning incense and worshipping Buddha It is taboo for women who are menstruating or pregnant to burn incense and worship Buddha on the Lantern Festival. The ancients believed that women's menstrual blood is unclean, and worshiping on this day would offend the gods. In addition, people whose zodiac sign conflicts with their own should not burn incense and worship Buddha on that day. Do you want to know your own Bazi?
