After all, during the Chinese New Year period, people have to visit relatives and friends. If it's a sunny day, it's much more convenient to go to a relative's house to pay New Year greetings. You can just take the gifts and hit the road, and the road won't be muddy due to rain or cement.
If it rains during the Chinese New Year and the sky is gray, people will not be in the mood to go out, but they will have to go out to visit. We still have to go up the mountain to the grave. After the rain, the road is covered with mud. We need to carry an umbrella, which makes it difficult to move forward. Therefore, when the winter solstice comes, most people hope that it will be cloudy and rainy, so that they don’t have to worry too much about bad weather during the New Year.
