Therefore, each of us must not only know how to cherish food, but also be grateful for the food that nourishes us. Therefore, to cherish every grain of food, each of us should lead by example.
Wasting food is equivalent to wasting money, not because the money doesn't look for you, but because you throw it away. To put it bluntly, saving food and not wasting food is invisibly equivalent to accumulating wealth for yourself.
2. Avoid haircuts
There is a folk saying that "if you don't get a haircut in the first month, you will die if you get a haircut". It is said that this statement comes from the shaving order of the early Qing Dynasty. Keeping your hair and not cutting your hair in the first month originally meant "thinking about the old", but it was gradually misrepresented as "dead uncle". As a result, there is a saying that the "dead uncle" has a haircut in the first month.
Although there is no scientific basis for this statement, it has been falsely spread to this day, and in order not to upset the uncles, it has gradually formed a taboo among the people. In addition, there is a saying that the dragon raises its head on the second day of February, and the haircut is self-evident on the day the dragon raises its head in the year of the dragon.

Spring is a symbol of new life, and killing in such a day of "release" to "life" is not only a great sight, but also untimely and unlucky. Therefore, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, it is forbidden to kill among the people.
Fourth, avoid marriage
It is not because this year is a "widow year" and it is unlucky to get married. This argument stems from the old traditional belief that the first month of the year is the beginning of the year, and that although marriage means starting a new family, it also means parting from parents, which is not good.
After all, according to tradition, marriage is usually held on the wax moon at the end of the year. Layue has more New Year's atmosphere, and many people can dilute the feelings of parting, so there is a saying among the people that "you are not marrying". Although there is no scientific basis for this kind of folk unwritten exquisiteness, in real life, marriage usually chooses an auspicious day of the zodiac, and in order to please a good fortune, there are indeed not many people who get married in the first month.
5. Do not start building houses
In ancient times, people believed that the groundbreaking of the first month was "Tai Sui's head" was unlucky, which would alarm the fortune and lead to the leakage of family wealth, and the fortune of the whole year was not good, which can be said to be very unlucky.
In fact, in the old days, because at this time on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the weather was still relatively cold, especially in most parts of the northern part of the continent, the earth was not frozen, and it was not easy to dig the foundation for construction. Moreover, after the beginning of spring, people devote themselves to spring plowing and spring sowing agricultural work, and the cost of hiring people is relatively high, which is not a good time to build houses. Therefore, there is still a certain reason why people are taboo to start building houses on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
