Can I go out on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year?

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, many people will go out and fly their blessings. So whether you are away from home or not, it is ok. What day is it today?

In folk culture, people will think that the eighth day is Xiaomi's birthday. The stars are in the lower bound, so sacrifice to them. Temples often set up altars to offer sacrifices to the stars on this day to receive alms. The custom of "Valley Day" is to worship the memorial tablet with the name of grain written on it and not eat cooked grain. This custom contains the idea of attaching importance to agriculture and cherishing food. The eighth day of the first month, also known as Shunxing Festival, is a festival that can predict one year's luck. On the harvest day known as "Valley Day", when the holiday ended, everyone came to work and gave each other good news, good luck and congratulations on getting rich. As the saying goes, things change with people's wishes, and customs vary from place to place. It is nothing more than a kind of human favor and a kind of good luck. There is also a saying that "no chicken, no dog, no pig, no sheep, no cow and no horse will be punished for seven days on the first day of the first month".
