The Spring Festival is a day to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, and it is also the most important traditional festival of the Chinese nation.What are the taboos and precautions for the 2017 Chinese New Year of the Rooster?On the first day of the Spring Festival, people have to get up at five o'clock in the morning. It is taboo to sneeze in bed at five o'clock in the morning. If you sneeze in bed, you may get sick this year. If you want to sneeze, you should get out of bed quickly.After getting up at five o'clock, men eat dumplings and then go to pay New Year's greetings. Girls are not allowed to go out before dawn and can pay New Year's greetings only after dawn. However, girls cannot follow their parents to walk around the streets to pay New Year's greetings to relatives like boys. Girls can only go to the home of their closest elders, such as grandfather's house, or they can not go at all. Before dawn, there are many unlucky words that cannot be said, such as "death", "bad", and "break". These words are taboo. You cannot use knives or scissors, otherwise your financial and career paths will be cut off, and you may even end up without your descendants. Some villagers also say that if you use knives or scissors, there may be murder or quarrels. Be careful not to break cups or bowls, otherwise you may go bankrupt; if you accidentally break them, take remedial measures quickly and say "Sui Sui (sui sui) peace" repeatedly, this way you can turn bad luck into good luck. You are not allowed to rummage through drawers and cabinets and make any noise, as it is said that this is for fear of waking up the gods and angering them, causing them to bring disaster upon you and your family. You are not allowed to quarrel with others on this day, otherwise you will have bad luck for the whole year; you are also not allowed to swear in the streets, otherwise you will be in bad luck. The fire in the stove must be kept burning brightly and cannot be extinguished. If it is extinguished, it means that there will be no fortune in the family this year. Only a burning fire can ensure a prosperous new year. The incense offered to the gods must not be interrupted, otherwise the gods will be angry and punish the family. It is taboo to have lunch without fish, and it is taboo to eat all the fish if there is fish. This is mainly to pray for the good luck of "abundance of fish every year". Avoid debt collection, killing, crying, and knocking down benches (because when a person dies, the coffin is placed on two benches, and the funeral procession starts only after the coffin is lifted and the benches are kicked down). A married daughter cannot return to her parents' home on the first and fifth day of the New Year, as it is said that this will bankrupt her family. Therefore, she can only return on the second, fourth, or eighth day of the New Year. The implication is that a married daughter is now someone else's wife, and there will be many people coming to her husband's house to pay New Year's greetings. Therefore, she cannot return to her parents' home on the first day of the New Year. It is taboo to wash clothes on the first and second days of the Chinese New Year. It is said that there is a water god, and the water god’s birthday is on the first and second days of the Chinese New Year. Therefore, do not wash clothes on these two days. But more elderly people said that this is a rule passed down by the older generation and must be followed. But if you ask what to do if the clothes are washed, they can't explain it clearly. The third day of the Chinese New Year is the day for visiting graves. It is not appropriate for New Year's greetings and is generally considered an unlucky day. Daughters whose parents are not all alive will return to their parents' home on this day. From the first to the fourth day of the Chinese New Year: It is taboo to ask for debts from others during these four days. During the Chinese New Year, whether the person being asked to pay a debt or the person asking others to pay a debt will be unlucky for the whole year, so it is taboo to ask for debts from others. It is also taboo to take out the garbage, as this will easily sweep away the wealth in the house. Because there are so many taboos from the first to the fourth day of the New Year, people should not act rashly. After the fifth day, the New Year is basically over and there are no more taboos. There is a custom of "sending away poverty" here. The garbage from the first to the fourth day of the lunar year cannot be thrown away, so as not to throw away the wealth. The garbage on the fifth day is regarded as poor soil, and throwing it away means sending poverty out. At the same time, some new soil should be brought back from outside and poured in front of the altar. Women no longer have to avoid opening the door and can now sew and take out the trash. On the sixth day, businesses start opening for business, and this day is considered an auspicious day. On the seventh day and the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, if the weather is clear during these two days, it means that the population will be safe and have smooth travel throughout the year. You are not allowed to wash clothes or do needlework during these two days, and you have to eat dumplings in the evening. There are no taboos on the eighth and ninth days of the lunar month. The tenth day is said to be the birthday of stone. People are forbidden to use any stone tools, such as millstones, pestles and rollers. This is called "Shi (ten)". Even when burning incense and worshipping the stone tools, people are not allowed to use scissors, otherwise they will break things. On the night of the 16th day of the first lunar month, every household in the village will light a bonfire to "roast away various diseases". Everyone in every family must roast by the fire. They can roast by each other's fires at their neighbors' houses. The more they roast by the fire, the better. This way, they will not get sick in the coming year. Any diseases will be roasted away by the fire and the disease will be cured. You can’t cut your hair during the entire first month of the New Year to “be careful of your uncle.” That is to say, if you cut or trim your hair, your uncle will encounter disaster. Summary: The above article is the editor’s compilation of some specific analysis on how to celebrate the 2017 Spring Festival of the Year of the Rooster. There are also some taboos and precautions that everyone needs to keep in mind. Finally, the editor would like to wish all readers good luck in the new year and all the best! |
