"New Year's Eve" means New Year's Eve, also known as New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, etc. New Year's Eve, as a festival at the end of the year, originated from the ancient customs of getting rid of the old and welcoming the new at the end of the year and worshiping ancestors. New Year's Eve is a traditional festival to worship ancestors. It is said in ancient books: "Heaven and earth are the basis of life; ancestors are the basis of mankind." This means that heaven and earth are the basis of life, ancestors are the basis of our human race, and ancestor worship is a custom that passes on filial piety. The earliest mention of the name "New Year's Eve" in existing documents is in the local customs book "Fengtu Ji" written by Zhou Chu of the Western Jin Dynasty. Later, the day before New Year's Eve was called Xiaochu, or Little New Year's Eve; New Year's Eve was called Dachu, or Big New Year's Eve. According to "Lüshi Chunqiu·Jidongji", the ancients used drum beating to drive away the "epidemic ghost" on the day before the New Year. At the end of each year, a "Dannu" ceremony was held. Beating drums to drive away the epidemic ghost was said to be one of the customs of the "New Year's Eve" at that time. What are the taboos on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month in 2021?1.
