How about going to pay New Year’s greetings on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year?

The time for New Year's greetings is generally from the first to the fifth day of the first lunar month. Visiting relatives and friends after the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is mostly considered as paying New Year's greetings in the early stage, while visiting relatives and friends after the fifth day of the first lunar month and before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is considered as paying New Year's greetings in the late stage. Both early and old age are emergency or remedial events to avoid regrets. There is a folk saying: It is never too late to pay New Year’s greetings on the 15th day if you want to.
However, in some areas it is not recommended to go out to pay New Year's greetings on the fifth day of the first lunar month, and paying New Year's greetings on this day is not very popular.

Why can’t we pay New Year’s greetings on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year?

In our folk, it is not popular to pay New Year's greetings on the fifth day of the first lunar month. The main reason is that on the fifth day (the day to get rid of poverty), it is not allowed to visit relatives and friends, so as not to bring poverty to relatives and friends.
Don’t be too concerned about the old customs of the past. As society progresses, many of them have actually lost their meaning of existence. But we cannot ban them across the board. We should give them “respect” and gradually abandon them through civilized advocacy. People should be selective in inheriting the New Year customs, and change the Spring Festival from "emphasizing rituals" to "emphasizing culture" so as not to affect people's normal lives. However, some New Year customs that are actually "bad habits" are being gradually abandoned.
Therefore, if there is a local custom that one cannot pay New Year’s greetings on the fifth day of the first lunar month, it is not recommended to go there to pay New Year’s greetings. If not, then one can pay New Year’s greetings.

What’s the best time to pay New Year’s greetings?

Make an appointment before the New Year's greetings, so as not to make a wasted trip because the host is also out paying New Year's greetings. It also gives the host time to prepare in advance. It is best to give the host room to choose the appointment time. Do not set a time unilaterally. The time agreed upon by both parties should be convenient for both parties. Generally, people choose to greet their elders in the morning, but not too early, because people usually get up late during the Spring Festival due to their busy schedule during normal times. If you visit someone's home too early to wish them a happy new year, you will often catch the host off guard. If the person you are greeting is treated to a New Year's Eve dinner, you can determine the time of your greeting based on the dinner time. You should arrive early and not wait until the dinner starts. You should leave time for greetings and chatting.
Some people like to choose to pay New Year’s greetings at night, sitting for several hours, which will inevitably disturb the host’s rest. When paying New Year’s greetings, if you walk in, say “Happy New Year” and then leave in a hurry, it will give people a feeling of “lacking sincerity”. Therefore, the best time for a guest to stay is generally half an hour to 40 minutes. This way, it will not be impolite and will not affect the host's reception of other guests.
