Can I go out on the third day of the Spring Festival?

Yes.

As the folk saying goes, "Three, six, nine, go out", so the third, sixth and ninth day of the Lunar New Year are suitable for traveling.

The third day of the first lunar month is also called Xiaonian Dynasty, also known as Red Dog Day. As an ancient traditional Chinese festival, it is said that on this day, Empress Nuwa created pigs. According to Chinese folklore, the night of the third day of the Lunar New Year is the day when rats get married, so most people turn off the lights early and go to bed early to avoid disturbing the rats. Some people say that turning off the lights early at night is to prevent rats from seeing and getting married, thereby reducing their reproduction speed.
