The Spring Festival is coming soon. As the biggest traditional festival in China, the Spring Festival has many things to pay attention to besides the bustle. As the saying goes, it's a good day for the new year and a good year for the next year. I believe that the elders at home will tell you something that you can't do during the new year, because it's unlucky. So what are the taboos during the Spring Festival?
Traditional taboos on New Year's Eve
No disrespect
Many places also call New Year's Eve "auspicious night". In this evening, no matter adults or children, they should speak auspicious words, not bad words, swearing and disrespectful words. Otherwise, it will be bad luck for a year. The elders add food and vegetables to the younger generation. If they are full and don't want to eat, they can't say 'no', but 'have'. If some tea and fruit are eaten, they should say 'have eaten' or 'too much', rather than directly saying 'no' & hellip; & hellip; these auspicious words are people's' New Year's Eve lessons'. Language: it is forbidden to say any unlucky words such as broken, bad, no, dead, light, ghost, kill, sick, painful, lose, poor, etc.
Avoid going to bed too early
Shou Sui, in fact, is not sleeping on New Year's Eve, staying up late to welcome the arrival of the new year. "Shou Sui" means to keep the last day of the year.
Long on / off
When sleeping on New Year's Eve, you can't turn off the light. You can only turn off the light when it's on the first day of the year. The lights on New Year's Eve stay on all night, commonly known as' light year '. No matter whether you are old or not, do not turn off the lights in the house. Keep them on all night, which means a bright future for the next year.

Avoid breaking utensils
On New Year's Eve, there is also a custom of not breaking utensils. People think that if we break the dishes, cups and plates on this day, it means that there will be "broken luck" in the new year. Sometimes I accidentally break the cups and plates on this day. The elders will wrap them in red paper and recite auspicious words such as "year old (broken) peace" to remedy it.
