It's already the winter moon, the second month before the Spring Festival, which means that the New Year will be celebrated in just over a month.
As the saying goes, "after Laba is the New Year", often once it is in the month of Laba, the time will pass faster, probably because everyone is preparing for the New Year, and every day is very happy, so the time feels insufficient.
For children, what they look forward to is the New Year, and for many adults, they are often afraid of the New Year. But no matter what, the Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival in our country, and it is worth paying attention to and celebrating. Especially for the majority of wanderers who are away from home, the Spring Festival is one of the few days to reunite with their families.
I don't know if everyone is paying attention, the Spring Festival in 2024 is very different from previous years, and some of the elderly have summarized at least four major characteristics, do you know what they are?Let's learn and prepare early!
2023 is the Year of the Rabbit, and according to the order of the 12 zodiac signs, next year will be the Year of the Dragon. But it is worth mentioning that the Year of the Dragon does not start on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but on the day of the beginning of the Spring Festival.
However, the Spring Festival in 2024 is a bit special, that is, the beginning of spring is not after the Spring Festival, but before Chinese New Year's Eve. In everyone's impression, it is estimated that the vast majority of years are during the Spring Festival, but before the beginning of spring in 2024 and before the Chinese New Year's Eve in 2023, it is on the 25th day of the lunar month.
The beginning of spring is just before Chinese New Year's Eve, which is a rare phenomenon. Therefore, there is no beginning of spring solar terms in the lunar calendar in 2024, and in traditional Chinese culture, the beginning of spring is an important solar term, marking the arrival of spring and the revival of all things.
But also because of this reason, the folk call the year without the beginning of the spring solar term "no spring year", "black year", or "widow year", and there are some taboos in such years among the people.
This is one of the biggest changes during the Spring Festival in 2024, which generally starts on Chinese New Year's Eve in previous years, so that you can rush back to reunite with your family and have a Chinese New Year's Eve meal by the way. After all, the New Year refers to the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
However, in the Spring Festival of 2024, Chinese New Year's Eve is not a holiday. This has also caused a lot of heated discussions. In fact, this is also a good thing, because there is no holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve, but the state advocates paid leave, and many units have also issued notices that they will not go to work on Chinese New Year's Eve. This also means that the Spring Festival holiday is longer, for most people there is a 9-day holiday, so that they can spend more time with their families.
This is a relatively long holiday, probably the longest Spring Festival holiday in recent years, providing everyone with more time to spend with their families, and it is foreseeable that the Spring Festival holiday in 2024 will be more warm and joyful.
According to the winter solstice solar terms, the Spring Festival in 2024 will start on February 10, and the winter solstice solar terms will begin to count nine, and every nine days will be a "nine", and so on, until the number of nine "nines" will usher in a warm spring, of which "five nine" will be on January 27, 2024 - February 4, 2024, six nine will be on February 5 - February 13, 2024, and seven nine will be February 14 - February 22, 2024.
According to the number nine songs, "1929 does not shoot, 3949 walks on the ice, 5969 looks at the willows along the river, 79 rivers open, and ** geese come". Therefore, the coldest period of the Spring Festival has passed.
Three. Nine, forty-nine, and it's already here.
Six. Nine, seven, nine, the weather has become warmer at this time, so it should be warmer during the Spring Festival.
There is another reason, that is, there was an El Niño event this year, which also has an impact on the cold and warm winter, and experts ** winter will be warmer. Although there may be some cold weather during the Spring Festival, overall, the temperature is relatively pleasant due to the "59" and "69" periods. This means that when you visit relatives and friends and have New Year's greetings, you don't have to worry about the cold weather affecting your mood and activities.
Regarding the ban on fireworks, it has also caused a lot of heated discussions among citizens over the years, and most people advocate that they hope to set off fireworks, because this is not only a Xi custom, but also a reflection of the taste of the year. The main point is to set off fireworks, which can also be sterilized and disinfected.
However, the good news is that a number of places have issued notices to change from a complete ban on fireworks and firecrackers in the past to "restriction", that is, in some areas, fireworks and firecrackers can be set off in some time periods.
During the Spring Festival in 2024, fireworks and firecrackers are allowed in many places. The return of this traditional Xi adds a strong festive atmosphere to the festival. The bloom of fireworks symbolizes the arrival of the new year and the renewal of Vientiane. In the midst of laughter, people celebrate the arrival of the new year together.
The Spring Festival is a festival of reunion, and families return to their hometowns from all over the world to spend the festival together. During the Spring Festival in 2024, people can feel the importance of family reunions more deeply.
And these four characteristics are also destined to be different from the Spring Festival in 2024, and it will be a Spring Festival with special significance. You should prepare in advance, especially the Spring Festival holiday in 2024, so you should plan well in advance.
