When it came to the "first day of the Lunar New Year of Sanjiazi", there was an ancient saying, "Jiazi is forgiven, and three must not be done". What do you mean?
Time flies!Wake up on New Year's Day at a dizzying time, the New Year of 2024. In the face of the outgoing 2023, people are realistic, so while saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, they also hope for good luck in the new year.
Compared to last year's New Year's Day, New Year's Day 2024 is unusual because this day is not only the beginning of the new year, but also two important days, namely "Jiazi Day" and "Heavenly Forgiveness Day", and the beginning of the "Ninth Games".
Therefore, during the Chinese New Year, the ancestors also had a saying. The ancestors believed that this day was the third day, so the folk also had a saying that "every day is forgiven, and three must not be done". So what does this sentence mean?
On New Year's Day 2024, each "three families":
January 1 of the Gregorian calendar is New Year's Day in 2024. Of course, this day also coincides with the "Sanjiazi", that is, the Jiazi day of the winter Jiazi month. If you add Yoshiko, such a day will be good. Because there is an old saying that "the top three are more expensive than the sky", so what are the characteristics of this day?
This day is "three families".
What is Jiazi?
In ancient times, our ancestors used the traditional calendar, also known as the "Ganzhi year". It marks the year, month, day, and time based on the combination of the heavenly stem and the earthly branch.
There are ten kinds of heavenly stems, namely: "A, B, C, D, E, G, G, XIN, REN, GUI";
There are 12 earthly branches, namely "Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai".
Therefore, the sexagenary branches were combined in pairs in a fixed order, resulting in sixty combinations, also known as "sixty jiazi".
Of course, in the ten-day drought, A was the first, and the twelve neutrons were the first, so "Jiazi" ranked first. Of course, in addition to Jia Zi, there are six Jias such as Jia Yin 、、、 Jia Xu.
Jiazi is the "head of sixty years", so in ancient times, there was a custom of worshipping Liu Jia, hoping that after Jiazi Day, all the days would go well.
But this year's New Year's Day is very special because it is the first day of the month of Jiazi. For Jiaziyue, five years is a cycle, and Jiazi is the beginning.
So the first day of the new year, the first day of the new year, and the first day of the new year are the beginning of the new five years. The act of "fire" in the past five years is also the beginning of "fire" for the common people, and it has a good meaning in it.
This day is also a day of forgiveness.
What day is Forgiveness Day?For the record of the day of forgiveness in the ancient books:
God forgives, and it is also a time to forgive sins. The birth of heaven is a and e, while the establishment of the earth is the meridian of silver. Therefore, it is forgivable to match Jia'e with Meridian Shenyin.
The meaning of this phrase is that God forgives the moon, God forgives the day, and God forgives the time to renew the aura. When God forgives, it is also a new beginning, so there are things that need to be forgiven.
Therefore, this "day of pardon" sounds mysterious, but the origin of this day comes from the Han Dynasty. Among them, the ancient book "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" is recorded as follows:
The first amnesty decree issued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the first year of Yuanshou was an amnesty for the world. Since then, the day of the beginning of spring has become a special auspicious day known as "spring amnesty".
Of course, in addition to spring amnesty, there are also summer amnesty, autumn amnesty, winter amnesty, etc., these days are:
The "five cloudy days" after the beginning of spring, the "Zhongri Day" after the long summer, the "Five Gods Festival" after the beginning of autumn, and the "Jiazi Festival" after the beginning of winter.
For these four days, the ancestors believed that these four specific combinations represented the principle of the coexistence of the five elements of yin and yang, and were also considered to be the most auspicious combinations, which is now the "day of divine forgiveness".
Of course, due to the special importance of the day of forgiveness, ancient people would use this day to ward off disasters and evils, and pray for the happiness and safety of their families.
Jiazi spares his life every day, and three things can't be done".
New Year's Day 2024 is special. This day is not only the Jiashi Festival, but also the day of forgiveness for the people. So, according to the elders of the village, there are three things that cannot be done on this day. Specifically:
First, don't kill.
For the day of forgiveness, it is recorded in the ancient books of the ancients as follows:
The day of God's forgiveness, that is, the day when heaven and earth are combined, the day when God forgives all things, the day when people forgive their sins, on this day you can hang in prison, avenge your grievances, give favors, and so on.
Therefore, according to the folk elders, the pardon is equivalent to the release of the day, just like when the emperor pardons the world and prays to heaven.
However, while we humans are the masters of animals on Earth, we must also be kind. What we should do and what we should not do must be taboo, and we must not violate the laws of nature.
Therefore, in ancient times, the ancients believed that the day of forgiveness was also an auspicious day for "the four seasons of sacrifice to the spirit, all things can be born, sins are forgiven, and it is the day when God forgives the sins of all beings".
Just like this, on the day of God's forgiveness, our ancestors, as ordinary people, would not kill except for the emperor's pardon. Their purpose is to conform to the forces of nature, not to kill anything, but to set it free.
Second, don't open a position.
For Jiazi Day, the ancients believed that it was not to open a position, which originated from the ancient book "Da Dai Li Ji Emperor Shi Pengzu Baiji", which is recorded as follows:
A does not open a position, the property is consumed;
b does not grow, a thousand plants do not grow;
If C does not repair the stove, it will be a disaster;
If you don't shave your head, you will get sores.
The meaning of this sentence is that the ancestors believed that Jiaziri was the "head of the six tribes" and a new beginning, so it was not appropriate to open a warehouse to release grain or conduct other commercial transactions when it was necessary to accumulate strength, because doing so might lead to the loss or loss of money.
Therefore, there is a saying that "A does not open a position, and his property is exhausted", and there is also a saying in the saying that "A does not open a position, his property is exhausted, Chen does not cry, and he will lose heavily".
However, this is just the statement of the ancients, and naturally there is no scientific reason. However, this proverb also serves as a reminder that one must be cautious when borrowing and trading. For example, when saving money to invest, you must also keep your eyes open to avoid being deceived.
Third, abstain from sexual immorality.
Spring planting, summer planting, autumn harvesting, winter storage ......"These are the laws of nature, especially when we enter the second month, the next day.
Because according to the ancestors, the child is water, and it is yin, which means cold and hindered from winter. Therefore, on the day of Jiazi Day, the ancient book "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" is recorded like this:
In winter and March, the dry kun is closed, everything is hidden, the gentleman is cautious, abstinent, silent, and waiting for yin and yang. He also said, "On the contrary, it will hurt the kidneys, and in the spring, there will be fistulas, and there will be few survivors." "
On the other hand, the first day of the Lunar New Year is the first of the six families, also called "Dongjiazi". The characteristics of this day are as stated in the Book of Rites: "You must hide, not be impatient, stop your desires, abstain from desires, and concentrate your mind", so this day should be "** to adapt to the change of seasons."
Written at the end: judging by the above, the arrival of New Year's Day is still unusual. This day is the "first day of the new year of the three families", "God forgives", so there are some things to be aware of.
