Taboo and stress in grade three

Third grade taboo and pay attention to the following points:

1, avoid killing sheep

Legend has it that the third day of the third lunar month is the day for Nu Wa to herd sheep, so this day is also called "Sheep Day" by the people. On this day, people are forbidden to kill sheep. Besides, it depends on the weather. If the weather is good, it means that sheep will grow well in the new year, breeders will have a good harvest in this year, and sheep will grow fat and strong.

2. Avoid cleaning

The third day of New Year's Day is also called Xiaonian Dynasty, or "Tianqing Festival". On this day, if you don't sweep the floor, beg for fire or pour sewage, it is said that all your wealth will fall in one year.

3. Avoid swearing

On the third day of New Year's Eve, we should say more good things, and avoid scolding children and saying indecent words. Especially for children, if you accidentally spill the beans, adults should immediately say "children talk nonsense."

In the south of China, many places hang "red mouths" in the morning, which is also called "no mouths". I think this day is easy to quarrel with others and is not suitable for New Year greetings. The so-called "forbidden mouth" is also a way to seek psychological comfort, that is, write some auspicious words on red notes and stick them on the beams of the front and rear doors of the house.

4. Avoid lighting

On the third day of New Year's Day, also known as "mice marry women", avoid lighting. After nightfall, many parents will coax their children to go to bed early, saying that they should not clamor for the mouse's family to hold a happy event, and scatter salt and rice all over the house, indicating that they can share a year's harvest with the mouse. This is the so-called "mouse sharing money".

The saying "a mouse marries a girl" is found all over the country, but the date is not fixed because of different customs, but it is widely circulated among the people on the third night of the lunar calendar. There is no light and noise in the house. Keep quiet.

For example, in Beijing, mice get married on the 17th or 18th day of the first month. There is a proverb in Beijing called "Seventeen or Eight, the mouse gets married."

5. Avoid throwing things.

Don't drop anything on New Year's Eve. If you accidentally break something, you should say "send it away" quickly, which means making a fortune. This is to remind people not to get carried away during the Chinese New Year, but to be careful for good luck.

6, avoid eating rice

According to folklore, the third day of the first month is Xiaomi's birthday. On this day, people are forbidden to eat rice. In addition, it depends on the weather on this day. If the weather is good, it means that there will be a bumper harvest of rice this year and the weather will be favorable. If the weather is bad, there may be a crop failure.

In fact, at that time, it seemed that the ancient society was dominated by farming, with underdeveloped productivity and not as mechanized as in modern times. In ancient times, people relied entirely on manpower, relying on mountains to eat and water to eat, hoping to pray for a bumper harvest in the new year. Therefore, the third day of the lunar calendar is designated as Gu Wu's birthday, which means thanking and congratulating Gu Wu.

7. Avoid moving scissors

The older generation thought that if scissors were used on New Year's Eve, there would be no good things in this year, and right and wrong would continue. The so-called "cutting is still chaotic."
