新年禁忌和迷信

春节是庆祝的时刻，欢迎幸福和吉祥继续。但是，由于春节涉及沉重的仪式，因此必须遵守许多严格的规章制度。下面提到的是一些常见的迷信和禁忌：

一：不要洗头

在中文中，头发和"致富"在发音上有相似的方面-因此是这种传统。人们认为，如果您在新的一年的第一天洗头，那么您的财富就会被洗掉（这在年初不是一件好事）。

二：不要说负面的话

在农历新年期间，禁止使用带有负面含义的单词，例如生病，死亡，空虚等。在大多数情况下，这应该很明显，因为您不想打扰自己，也不想将那些不幸带给自己和周围的亲人。

三：给礼物

农历庆祝活动都是关于送礼物的-但是，如果选择送礼物（除了通常的红色信封和食物），则必须避免一些事情。避免使用的礼物包括：钟表，剪刀和梨作为礼物，从文化上讲，它们通常与死亡并消失有关。

尽管还有许多其他的迷信和禁忌，但上面提到的那些迷信和禁忌可以被认为是更普遍的做法（或者至少是从撰写此书的人那里得到的）。

虽然，尽管围绕农历新年充满了迷信和禁忌，但我们大家都希望您度过一个美好而安全的农历新年，并希望新的一年充满爱，欢乐，好运和欢笑。

New Year Taboos and Superstitions

Chinese New Year is a time of celebration, welcome happiness and good luck to continue into the upcoming year. However, since Chinese New Year involves sombre ceremonies, many strict rules and regulations must be followed. Listed below are some common superstitions and taboos that are followed throughout the holiday:

1. Don't wash your hair

In Chinese, the character for hair has a similar pronunciation to a character within the phrase "to get/to be rich" - hence this tradition. People think that if you wash your hair on the first day of the new year, your wealth will be washed away (this is not a good thing at the beginning of the year).

2. Don't say negative things

During the Chinese New Year, the use of words with negative meanings, such as illness, death, emptiness, etc. is prohibited. In most cases, this should be obvious, because you don't want bad things to happen to yourself or bring unfortunate things to yourself and your loved ones around you.

3. Gift Giving

Lunar celebrations are all about giving gifts-but if you choose to give a gift (apart from the usual red envelopes and food), there are a few things you must avoid. Gifts to avoid include: clocks, scissors, and pears as gifts, which are culturally related to death and disappearance.

Although, there are many other taboos and superstitions that are followed (such as not using sharp objects, or avoid crying and fighting) - as many regions have their own unique taboos and superstitions in regards to Chinese New Year, these three mentioned tend to be some of the more widely accepted taboos (and superstitions).
