Is there a taboo about working on the seventh day of the first lunar month?
There is no saying that working on the seventh day of the first lunar month is taboo.The first lunar month is the month of spring, and the first day of the first lunar month is the Spring Festival, so it is a holiday.

【Taboos in the First Lunar Month】
1、In ancient times, there was a saying called "Red Head", meaning that if a man and a woman get married in the first lunar month, they will be "pressed by the Year God", which is not beneficial for their descendants. Therefore, it is rare for new couples to get married in the first lunar month.
2、Throwing grain in the first lunar month is considered a great disrespect. If you waste grain in the first lunar month, it implies that the harvest this year will be poor and there will be insufficient food.
3、There is a saying that "Haircutting in the first lunar month means the death of your uncle". Therefore, it is considered unlucky to cut hair in the first lunar month. In addition, the first lunar month is the beginning of spring, and cutting hair in spring is not conducive to hair growth, so it is generally not advisable to cut hair in the first lunar month.
4、It is taboo to curse or use dirty words in the first lunar month, as people used to believe that what is said comes true. Since the first lunar month is the first month of the lunar calendar, if you say something unlucky during this month, it may bring misfortune throughout the year.
5、According to Buddhist beliefs, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the "Sijishen" (the god controlling the reincarnation of animals) closes the reincarnation path to celebrate his mother's birthday. Therefore, the souls of slaughtered animals cannot enter the six realms of rebirth and will follow you until the third day of the next month.
When to start work after the Spring Festival, the seventh or the eighth day?
Generally, work starts on the seventh day of the first lunar month after the Spring Festival.Because the legal holiday for the Spring Festival lasts from the eve of the Lunar New Year (New Year's Eve) to the sixth day of the first lunar month, work resumes on the seventh day of the first lunar month.
If it refers to the auspiciousness and inauspiciousness in the lunar calendar, it depends on the specific lunar calendar.
