Can't I take a shower on the seventh day of the first month?

You can take a bath on the seventh day of the lunar new year.

The seventh day is not a taboo date for bathing. As long as there is no local custom prohibiting bathing, you can rest assured to wash your hair and take a bath. You can't wash your hair and take a bath from the first day to the third day of the first month.

You can't wash your hair and take a bath from the first day to the third day of the Lunar New Year. You think that washing your hair and taking a bath these days will lead to wealth and blessing being washed away. At the same time, because the first day to the third day is the birthday of the water god, you can't touch the water, otherwise it is disrespectful to the water god, but you can wash your hair and take a bath after the third day. On this day, people will go out for an outing. When they come back from a long walk, they will feel tired and want to take a bath to relax. The days that are not suitable for bathing are from the first day to the third day of the first month. It is said to be the birthday of the water god. I'm afraid of disrespect, so I'll wait a few days before washing. People these days think that contact with water-related things, such as pouring water, will wash away the wealth, so they are more particular.
