What date is the first day of the Lunar New Year in 2019?

Tuesday, February 5, 2019 (the first day of the first lunar month in the Year of the Pig, 12 days away from the 2019 Lunar New Year)
The first day of the first lunar month is the beginning of the lunar year, month and day. This day is the first day of the first lunar month. Because it is the first new moon day, it is also called "Yuan Shuo".
The Spring Festival, commonly known as the Chinese New Year, is the most important and grand traditional festival in China. The main folk activities include paying New Year's greetings, setting off firecrackers, pasting Spring Festival couplets, and giving out lucky money. Du Taiqing of the Sui Dynasty said in "Yuzhu Baodian": "The first month of the year is Duanyue, and the first day of the year is New Year's Day, also known as Zhengchao or Yuanshuo."
The first day of the first lunar month is the beginning of the lunar year, the beginning of the month, and the beginning of the day, so it is called "Sanyuan"; because it is also the morning of the year, the month, and the day, it is also called "Sanchao"; and because it is the first new moon day, it is also called "Yuanshuo". The first day of the first lunar month is also known as Shangri, Zhengchao, Sanshuo and Sanshi, which means that the first day of the first lunar month is the beginning of the year, month and day.

We can’t go out or visit relatives on New Year’s Day, right?

An important activity on the first day of the Lunar New Year is to visit relatives, friends and neighbors to wish them a happy new year, which was formerly known as New Year's greetings. However, in Guangdong and Guangxi, New Year's Day is considered a "poor ghost's day". People do not like to go to other people's homes, nor do they welcome others to their homes. You have to open the door and sweep the floor early in the morning, which means sweeping the "poor ghost" out. There is a saying in Foshan area that goes "On the first day of the new year, hide gold and silver." Elderly people do not go out on the first day of the Lunar New Year, as it is said that going out will "leave wealth and blessings behind". Only when the elders stay at home can the family enjoy both wealth and blessings in the coming year. Generally speaking, the younger generations must visit their elders' homes to pay New Year's greetings to show their filial piety, but married women have to wait until the second day of the Lunar New Year to return to their parents' home.
People in Northeast China have a custom that the first day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the broom. You cannot use the broom on this day, otherwise it will sweep away your luck and money, and attract "broom stars" to bring bad luck. If you must sweep the floor, you must sweep from the outside to the inside and cannot go out. You cannot throw water or garbage outside on this day, for fear of losing money. This custom is still preserved in many places today.
