A person's life is only a few tens or hundreds of years, and it is not long to say that it is short. From the moment you fall to the ground, life enters the countdown, and there will be a colorful life in the middle, everyone is different, however, the end is the same.
Although death is very sad, it is also an unavoidable thing, so people still study life and death very thoroughly. There is such a saying among the people:"People are afraid of the death of the wax moon, and they are even more afraid of the birth of the wax moon".。What does this mean?What is the truth in it?
The wax moon is the 12th month of the lunar calendar and the last month of the lunar year. The wax moon, also known as the "wax moon", is the name of the year-end sacrifice and is related to the New Year's sacrifice.
The ancients attached great importance to sacrifices, and called the ritual of sacrificing ancestors and gods at the end of the year "wax". And the end of the year happens to be the month with the most sacrifices, so the December at the end of the year is called "wax moon".
Death is inevitable, but it can plunge friends and family into grief. As the saying goes:"After Laba is the New Year".After entering the wax moon, it is very close to the Spring Festival. The atmosphere of the Chinese New Year has been scattered in all corners of life.
After the wax moon is the first month, the wax moon is the end of the year, and the first month is the beginning of the year. In other words, the atmosphere of the New Year will last for about two months. In the past two months, there has been a festive atmosphere everywhere.
And in the case of "the death of the moon", a funeral ceremony is required. The prosperity of the funeral, as well as the long-term sad atmosphere, just clashes with the festive atmosphere of the New Year. From the end of the year to the beginning of the year, grief also follows the New Year's Eve. Neither the living nor the dead want to see it.
It can be said that the wax moon is the coldest time of the year. This season, the ice and snow are snowy, and everything is withering. Not only is the temperature cold, but there is also a shortage of food.
In ancient times, people's way of keeping out the cold was relatively backward, and children were the most vulnerable when they were born, and they could freeze to death if they were not careful. In ancient times, the level of medical care was very poor, and it was easy to get sick in cold weather, and it was also very troublesome to get sick.
Moreover, the food to eat at this time will be relatively scarce, and adults cannot keep up with their nutrition, so there may naturally be a shortage of milk.
Moreover, during the lunar month, the hostess needs to be busy with a lot of things, and the child will naturally lack a labor force when the child is born. Not only that, but someone has to take care of the children and the mother, which invisibly increases the burden on the family.
The above is today's explanation of "people are afraid of the death of the wax moon, and they are even more afraid of the birth of the wax moon". People are afraid of the death of the moon because they are worried that the funeral will be too cumbersome, and the sad atmosphere will conflict with the joy of the New Year. It is more taboo to be born in the wax moon, because the environment of the wax moon is not suitable for the survival of newborns, and the wax moon is busy, which will increase a lot of burden.
