January 3 of Chinese Lunar Calendar
正月初三
Custom: Staying at Home
习俗:忌出门
According to custom, people should not pay visits to others on the third day of the first lunar month as it is very likely to quarrel with others on this day. However, this has already become obsolete. It is a rare opportunity for people to get reunited during the Spring Festival, so less and less people follow this tradition.
按照习俗,人们在初三通常不会外出拜年,传说这天容易与人发生争执。不过这个习俗早已过时,现在人们难得春节团聚,因此恪守这一习俗的人也越来越少。
