Is it bad luck to wash clothes on new year’s day？

The New Year is a very important festival because New Year is a day to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. In the past, it was generally believed that words and deeds during the Spring Festival will affect the good luck of the next year. Therefore, the customs and attention during the Spring Festival are varied. For example, from New Year’s Eve to the third day of the first month, you can’t take a bath or wash your clothes, and you can’t take it until the fifth day of the new year.

Usually, the three days from the first day of the new year to the third day of the new year cannot be washed. According to folklore, the first to the third day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the God of Water, and they cannot touch the water and pour water, so they cannot perform activities such as shampooing, bathing, and washing clothes. In Feng Shui, it is considered to be the “wealth of the water owner”. If you pour water a few days before the Chinese New Year, it will reverse the fortune of the year.
