On the first day of the Lunar New Year every year, there are many folk customs to be observed. Old people think that this day is the beginning of a new year, so they should avoid doing something. For example, you can't take a shower, wash your hair or wash clothes on the first day of New Year's Day. You can't call others to wake you up. You can't eat porridge, meat or take medicine on the first morning of New Year's Day. You can't cook new meals, but you have to eat leftovers left over from 30 nights, which means you can't take a nap on New Year's Day, which affects your career.
Legend has it that the first day of the New Year is the birthday of sweeping the floor with a broom, so you can't sweep the floor with a broom on the first day. Sweeping away will sweep away luck, ruin money, and find a "jinx". There will be bad luck at home. If you have to sweep the floor, you have to sweep it from the outside in. Up to now, we still keep this rule, so we should clean our home on New Year's Eve, and we are not allowed to sweep the floor and take out the garbage on New Year's Day.
You can't wash clothes or pour dirty water on this day. If you pour the water out, you will take away your wealth and break it. You can't break plates and bowls during the Spring Festival. Old people think that the new year's broken furniture means that this year will be unlucky. Breaking a bowl means bankruptcy. If you really break something, you have to "settle down" quickly, and you will be lucky. It is said that the birthday of Water God is the second day, so you can't touch Water God and wash clothes these days.
Therefore, in order to maintain a good omen and pass it on from generation to generation, the first day of the first month of the first month has always followed such and such Chinese New Year rules and avoided touching taboos.
