The fifth day of the first month, commonly known as "Breaking Five", is one of the traditional festivals with a long history in China. It is named after China folklore, and many taboos can be broken before this day.
Because this day carries too many people's hopes and longings, there are many taboos in ancient times, such as having to eat jiaozi, not cooking with uncooked rice and not letting women visit. The Chronology of Yanjing's Years Old says: "On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, it is called' Broken Five'. It is forbidden to cook with uncooked rice and women are not allowed to go out.
On the sixth day, Princess, your Lord and eunuchs exchanged greetings. The newly-married woman also returned to mothering on the same day, and the merchants gradually began to trade. "Clear Bi Chao" also said: "The fifth day of the first month is the fifth day, and women are not allowed to go out." After this day, many taboos in China folk customs can be broken.
