First, you can't sweep the floor on New Year's Day
Second, on New Year's Day, children can't say unlucky things, swear, and adults can't hit people.
On New Year's Eve, no matter how late the family stays up, they will never forget to sweep the floor and take out the garbage, which indicates that all troubles and bad luck will be discarded.
On New Year's Day, if friends and relatives come to the house, no matter how dirty the house is, you can clean it up, and you must not sweep the floor with a broom, which means stepping on the old age, being in high spirits and having good luck! When I was a child, my mother always hid the broom in the corner on New Year's Day, so that we wouldn't see it. In case we let go of the taboo.
The garbage can be collected, but it can't be thrown out. On the first day of New Year's Day, everything, including the garbage at home, is a fortune in the coming year. Don't sweep it off, don't dump it. Therefore, it is forbidden to sweep the floor and take out the garbage on New Year's Day.
Another thing is that on New Year's Eve, adults began to tell their children: On the first day of the New Year, they should get a good kick, don't talk nonsense, and say auspicious words, swearing and unlucky words are taboo.
Often, on New Year's Day, children get carried away with their happiness and forget their parents' instructions. Brothers and friends often make taboos for toys or games. Therefore, the child made a mistake that day and often did not have to be investigated. On the first day of New Year's Day, many naughty children often use this to blackmail their parents and elders, and make all kinds of excessive demands that they usually dare not ask. No matter how angry parents and elders are, they will not be beaten!
The above two customs are still preserved in our hometown. Is there such a custom in your hometown?
