A married daughter cannot return to her parents’ home, as it is said that this will bring ruin to the family. 2. Avoid eating porridge for breakfast. Avoid eating porridge. If you eat porridge on this day, you will be caught in the rain when you go out throughout the year, and heavy rain may even wash away the fields. In addition, eating porridge is a symbol of poverty. If you eat porridge on the first day of the New Year, you will probably live a poor life thereafter. 3. Avoid calling others’ names to wake them up: Do not wake others up in the morning of the first day of the new year. It is believed that doing so will make the other person be urged to do things throughout the year. 4. Avoid wishing a happy new year to someone who is still sleeping. At the same time, you should not say congratulations while lying in bed, as it is said that this will lead to being bedridden for many years. 5. Avoid taking medicine. If you have any minor illness or pain, it is best not to see a doctor. Otherwise, it symbolizes that you will be sick from beginning to end and have to take medicine continuously. Doctors also avoid seeing patients in the first month of the lunar year, as they think it is unlucky. However, if it is a serious or urgent illness, you still need to take medicine and see a doctor if necessary. Doctors also need to save people in danger and still need to make house calls. 6. Avoid touching needles and money. Try not to use knives, scissors, needles and thread. If you make a mistake, it will lead to bad luck such as ruin; it may also cut off your financial path. 7. Avoid chopping wood with an axe. Chai means wealth, and its main meaning is that it is easy to lose money. 8. Avoid borrowing money and debt collection. Remember to pay off your debts before the New Year. If you owe money before the New Year, you cannot go to collect the debt from the first to the fifth day of the New Year, as it is said that you will have bad luck for the whole year. 9. Avoid hitting furniture (plates, bowls, wine glasses and other fragile items) and avoid breaking objects. Breaking bowls, plates, cups and dishes on the first day of the new year means bad luck for the year. The remedy is to wrap them in red paper, chant auspicious words such as "peace every year" and place them on the altar for a few days to avert the disaster. 10. You cannot take a nap during the day. If a man takes a nap on this day, his field ridges will collapse; if a woman takes a nap on this day, her stove will collapse. This is also an ancient idea, to advise people not to be lazy. 11. Clothes and bedding cannot be changed or washed. It is strictly forbidden to sweep the house or take out the garbage, as this will sweep away all the blessings and fortune in the house; if you really want to use the broom, remember to sweep from the outside to the inside! 12. Avoid letting others take things out of your pocket. People believe that if one's pockets are emptied on the first day of the Lunar New Year, there is a risk of having one's pockets emptied for the entire year. 13. Avoid washing clothes. Avoid washing clothes on the first and second days of the Chinese New Year: The birthday of the Water God falls on the first and second days of the Chinese New Year, so it is taboo to wash clothes on these two days. 14. It is taboo to pay New Year’s greetings to a family where there is a funeral. 15. Avoid moving or papering windows. Otherwise it is considered unlucky. 16. Avoid wearing out new clothes. It is unlucky for children to wear out their new clothes in the first month of the year. 17. It is taboo to shave your head. There is a folk saying: "If you don't shave your head in the first month of the lunar year, your uncle will die if you do." 18. Don’t give odd numbers as New Year’s money. When elders give new year’s money to younger generations, the amount must be an even number, otherwise it is unlucky. 19. Do not hit, swear or cry to maintain a good omen. Crying is a bad omen, indicating illness and disaster. 20. 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". 21. It is forbidden to use knives or scissors. It is not appropriate to kill. Killing will result in the sight of blood, which is an ominous sign and will lead to disasters such as sword disasters, war disasters, and blood disasters. In addition, it is also taboo for children to swear, young people to fight, and family members to argue. Whenever such things happen, relatives, friends, and neighbors will come to persuade and stop them.
