Big cold lantern festival

During the Chinese New Year, and then someone died in the family, I think the whole family will be immersed in a relatively sad atmosphere, because during the Chinese New Year, other people's homes are very lively, but their own homes are deserted, and there is nothing we can do about the death of their loved ones. After all, everyone has birth and death. What's the point of someone dying during the Chinese New Year?

Don't pay a New Year call.

If relatives die, they can't visit each other during the New Year. Besides setting off firecrackers to eat jiaozi, many children especially like to wear new clothes for the New Year, because they can not only eat delicious food, but also wear new clothes and, most importantly, have lucky money. People who live in high-rise buildings now may not have experienced this kind of experience. In the past, single-family houses in rural areas would go door to door to pay New Year greetings, bless each other and give each other gifts. However, if the old man at home dies, he can't go out to pay New Year greetings during the Spring Festival, so he can only stay at home and do his filial piety. As the saying goes, "Zhu Dexiao comes first". When the old man leaves home, keep quiet and don't laugh. This is respect for your loved ones.

Don't hang lanterns

Generally speaking, people will hang lanterns at home during the Spring Festival. Everyone pays more attention to the Spring Festival and regards it as the biggest festival of the year. Many people who go out to work come back to reunite and have a lively New Year. As we all know, lanterns are a kind of culture passed down from ancient times. The ancients paid attention to the neatness of antithesis and have evolved into couplets so far. Sticking it at home during the Spring Festival indicates family harmony in the new year. People will write down their long-term wishes for the new year on couplets and hang red lanterns, which indicates good luck. You know, China pays more attention to color, which mostly means prosperity, and white is often related to funeral, so it is not recommended to hang red lanterns.

Don't wear bright clothes

During the New Year in China, many people will wear new clothes. After the old man dies, children and grandchildren will wear white clothes to show filial piety. Some places will take black as the main color, but no matter what color, it should be simple and not too bright. Chinese New Year is a festive day, so many people will mainly use red, but this is the opposite of filial piety, so it is unfilial, so it is not recommended to wear brightly colored clothes.
