How about traveling on the fifth day of the first month?

According to the traditional view, the fifth day is not suitable for going out. The older generation will avoid visiting relatives and friends on this day, and they are not allowed to visit, saying that visiting relatives will bring bad luck to other people's homes. So I won't go out on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Generally, the older generation called the fifth day of the first month "breaking the fifth day", and they didn't go out for a walk on this day. In the old society, from the first day to the fifth day, there were many superstitious taboos among the people, such as not cooking with uncooked rice, women not sewing, not cleaning, not breaking things and so on. After the fifth day, these taboos were lifted, so this day was called "breaking the fifth day".

There are three Chinese New Year holidays in Longxian County, the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, the fifth day of the first month and the seventh day of the first month. Binxian also eats jiaozi on the fifth day of the first month, saying that it is "eat poor food and go to the poor roots", and it is also called "paste the poor pit" and "fill the poor pit".
