How to resolve a knife on the New Year's Day?
There is a folk saying that you can't use a knife in the New Year, because you are afraid that picking up a knife will have an unfavorable fortune. Avoid sharp things in the New Year, which will easily cause harm. However, if you want to cook a hearty meal during the Spring Festival, you should always use a knife and don't care too much.
The New Year is about luck and happiness, so most people want to have a good meaning in order to have a better start in the new year. "Don't move the knife on the first day of the first month" means seeking peace and good luck. It is said that you can't move your knife not only on the first day of the first month, but also from the first day to the fifteenth day of the first month. If you cut your knife during the year, you will be afraid of disaster. If you want to be safe for a whole year, you can't use tools such as knives and scissors. At the same time, letting these household utensils "rest" for a day is actually a rest for housewives who have worked hard for a whole year. This is also an affirmation of the housewife's hard work for a year.
