Introduction: New Year’s Eve is the most lively day of the year and it is also the time when every family reunites. However, it is an important day after all, so there are some taboos that we still need to pay attention to. So, what taboos should we pay attention to on New Year’s Eve? Let’s take a look with the editor below. There are not only many national customs and activities on New Year’s Eve, but also many New Year’s etiquette and taboos. Want to know more? Welcome to the New Year’s special topic carefully prepared for you by Mr. Shui Mo to learn more!Traditional taboos on New Year's EveCommonly known as "New Year's Eve", "New Year's Eve" is the last day of the previous year.Stay up all night on New Year's Eve. Avoid going to bed too early. Speak auspicious words and avoid bad words. You cannot urinate or defecate on New Year’s Eve. You can only urinate or defecate after seeing the sun. Avoid breaking objects. Breaking bowls, plates, cups and dishes on this day means that you will have "bad luck" in that 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 avert the disaster. Don’t leave wet clothes for the New Year! It is taboo to encounter funerals, as it is considered unlucky and symbolizes that a major disaster will occur in the coming year. Taboo 1:"It is taboo to see anyone on New Year's Eve." On the night of the 30th, most families have a "big reunion". Relatives who are far away will travel thousands of miles, braving the wind and snow to rush back home and come back to eat reunion dumplings with their families on the night of the 30th. This dinner is called "New Year's Eve dinner" in the south. Northerners eat noodles, while people in the north eat dumplings. There is a folk song saying: "On the 30th, the whole family happily eats flatbread." On the night of the 30th, the family is reunited, there is wind and snow outside, and the house is brightly lit and steaming. The glass windows were wiped clean, and water droplets were still rolling down from the glass. Bursts of firecrackers could be heard from time to time. Every family enjoys the joy of family life and is in great harmony. In order to ensure a happy family dinner, people generally do not want outsiders to suddenly intrude. Whether outsiders come to talk, visit or even collect debts, it will interfere with the happy reunion of the family. Therefore, on New Year's Eve, everyone except the "family Tartars" is refused.Taboo 2:"A married girl should not look at the lanterns at her parents' home on New Year's Eve." "On the night of the 30th, a married daughter cannot look at the lights of her parents' home. Doing so will cause the death of her family members." This rule is quite serious, but it has "legitimate reasons". Because the old society was dominated by men, married daughters often had conflicts with their mother-in-law. If a married woman (especially one from a wealthy and powerful family) always went back to her parents' home, her mother-in-law's family could no longer remain happy. In order to ensure the reunion of the mother-in-law's family, this folk custom was passed down. The purpose was good, but the form was "groundless". Although there are no legal provisions and it is not well-known, it plays a role in bringing cohesion and harmony.Taboo three:"Don't shave your head in the first month of the lunar year." In old Tianjin, barbers start working as early as the 30th, whether shaving heads and braiding hair, or washing and cutting men's hair, and they work all night until the morning of the 1st. At that time, most barbers were from Baodi. They would pack up and go back to their hometowns at dawn. It was difficult to find a barber to get a haircut again. This is to urge people to do all the cleaning and sanitation work before the New Year.Taboo 4:"Don't break anything." It is not allowed to break things during the New Year. If something is broken, just say: "Sui (Sui) Sui (Sui) Ping An." This is to remind people not to get carried away during the New Year, and to be careful for good luck. It is a psychological hint and has no other meaning.Summary: Through the above article, we know some taboos that need to be taken seriously and avoided on New Year’s Eve. I hope these contents can provide certain warnings to everyone and need to be taken seriously. I wish everyone a happy and auspicious new year! |
