## Superstitions to Avoid on the First Day of the New Year
Avoid Borrowing or Lending:
According to age-old beliefs, it is considered unlucky to borrow or lend money or objects on the first day of the new year. Any debts should be settled before the new year, and one should avoid being a lender or borrower on this day, as it is believed to bring bad luck for the rest of the year.
Avoid Sweeping:
It is also considered unlucky to sweep the house on the first day of the new year. This belief stems from the Chinese tale “Sưu thần ký,” where a merchant named Âu Minh’s wealth disappeared after he hit his servant, who then vanished into a trash pile. To avoid bad luck, people refrain from sweeping and disposing of garbage on this day, instead waiting until after burning incense to the ancestors.
Avoid Breaking Objects:
Breaking objects on the first day of the new year is believed to bring not only bad luck but also cause disharmony within the family, according to folk beliefs. Sharp objects like knives and scissors are also considered inauspicious, as they are believed to cut through good fortune, relationships, and the lifespan of the household members.
Avoid Giving Away Fire or Water:
The color red, often associated with fire, symbolizes good luck and prosperity. Water, on the other hand, represents freshness and new life. Giving away these two elements is believed to deplete the household of these blessings, leading to a year of scarcity and misfortune.
It is common to wish others “may money flow like water” during the new year greetings, hence the avoidance of giving away water. Additionally, it is essential to ensure an ample water supply before the new year to bring coolness and good fortune to the family.
