Time passed before I knew it, oneTwenty-four years are coming soon,No matter what happens in 23 years, 24 years are coming, and it is a "special" year, which starts with the wisdom of our ancestors.
In our thousands of years of history, our ancestors left behind various traditional cultures and Xi, one of them is to "hide from spring", and there is also a folk custom about this:
In the year of the spring wood and the green dragon, the five people want to hide from the spring.It has been passed down to the present, and next year happens to be the year of the spring wood and the green dragonSo what are the five types of people?Why do you want to hide from spring next year?
I don't know if you have heard of a Xi customThat is, in the natal year, you have to wear red clothes, it is better to have red all over the body, so that you can avoid disaster.
This concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of many peopleThe so-called natal year is to meet the same year as your own zodiacThere are a total of 12 zodiac signs, representing 12 animals.
So to put it another wayThe natal year is the age that can be divided by 12It can also be said that each natal year is the beginning of a cycle, and then it continues to go down until the end of the 12-year cycle is the beginning of the next natal year.
The time of the natal year is the beginning of a cycleIf you don't have a good time, it means that the whole cycle has a bad startAs the saying goes, the "good start" will always be good, and if the beginning is not good, the following year is not expected to be too good.
The year of the natal year is usually very tortuousThere are a lot of tribulations to go through, and everyone also wants to get off to a good start, so they will be very careful in the natal year and try to wear red clothes that represent good luckThis will dispel some bad disasters.
People always say that the age of 60 is a hurdle, and after this age, one year will be one year lessThis also has a lot to do with the fact that the year of the natal year will be full of disasters and difficulties, and if you are not careful, you will not be able to carry itTherefore, in the natal year, we should try to pay attention to our words and deeds, and try not to say some conflicting words.
Do more good things in life and accumulate more good fortune, let your cycle have a good start, and pray that everything will go smoothly in the next 12 years of the cycle, and there will be no disease and no disaster, In addition to the year of the birth, there is also a Xi called "hiding spring" in the common folk customs.
So what does this word mean?What would happen if you didn't hide from spring?
The meaning of the so-called dodging spring can be seen from the literal meaningThat is to say, to avoid the day of the beginning of springAs long as this day is good, the whole year will not necessarily be good, but if this day is not good, the whole year will not be too good.
The ancients believedThis day of the beginning of spring is a new beginning in all aspects, a new beginning of the year, and with the change of seasons, the magnetic field will become more complex and difficult to control.
So in order to avoid all kinds of bad things from happening,Consciously reduce the frequency of going out and reduce the interaction with othersStream, especially on this dayBe careful not to conflict with other people
Once you have a conflict with someone else, such as a war of wordsThis means that there will be a lot of bad things happening in the next year, there will be disasters and all kinds of verbal disputes, and the whole year will be unrestless.
Everyone for the next year to be smooth and smoothI also consciously joined the crowd of people who hide from spring, and different places have different Xi rules for hiding spring, which also presents a scene of a hundred flowers blooming.
There are some things that you can't do on the day of springFor example, when the sun rises, you can't lie in bed, you have to go to bed earlyWake up consciously to welcome a good day, whether it is sitting and standing, and that's itYou can't see a doctor, get a haircut, move, etc., otherwise you will violate the taboo.
There are also customs and Xi in rural areas that are taboo in this regard, that is, the girl who marries out has to live in her in-law's house, no matter what, you can't be at your mother's house on the day of the beginning of spring,Otherwise, it will have a bad image of the luck of the mother's family, contrary to the beautiful meaning of the beginning of spring, but this is all an old Xi left behind.
So what kinds of people need to hide from spring?
The natal year mentioned above is full of disasters and difficulties, and we must pay special attention not to have bad things happen, otherwise the next 12 years will not go smoothlyThe main reason is that in the natal year, you will commit the same Tai Sui as yourself.
That is to say, there is a different Tai Sui on duty every year, just like handing over work before leaving the workplaceEvery year, there will be two Tai Sui handover work, and it happens to be the day of the beginning of springThis day is undoubtedly special.
On this day of the beginning of spring, try to avoid colliding with Tai Sui, so try to reduce your sense of existence, do things in a low-key manner, and minimize contact with peopleAvoid verbal argumentsIt affects the good fortune of the following year.
Many people say that they are "hiding from spring".It's best not to go out on this day and just stay at home by yourselfIt's the safest way, but in fact it's not all the day you can't go outInstead, you can't go out for two hours at the turn of the old and the new.
Wait until the two Tai Sui are handed over and you can go out, which will not affect your normal lifeThis year is 2023, and it is coming to an end, so the next thing is to hide in the spring of 2024Speaking of which, next year will also be a special year.
The 24 solar terms are also a very important part of our cultureGenerally speaking, all 24 solar terms will be between the two Spring Festivals, but this year and next year are two surprises.
I don't know if the attentive people have found it,There are two beginning of spring this year, and you can see from the calendar, one is after the Spring Festival in 23, and the other is before the Spring Festival in 24This doesn't happen very often, and only one happens every few years.
Generally speaking, the beginning of spring is over before the Spring FestivalAs a result, there is no Spring Festival in 24 years, that is to say, 24 years is a "year without spring", and the ancients also gave it a title called "Year of the Widow"., as you can see from the name, such a year is unlucky.
In fact, it is true that such a year was unlucky in the perception of the ancients, and there was no beginning of springIt means that yin and yang cannot be balanced
The beginning of spring symbolizes the beginning of a new year and the renewal of Vientiane, but there is no such solar term in 24 years, which means that this year is not suitable for happy events.
For the sake of Tujili, many people have rushed to do various happy events 24 years agoIn order to avoid something unlucky from happeningIt is also a kind of psychological comfort and a prayer for a better life.
In addition to the absence of the solar term "Beginning of Spring", 24 is also the Year of the DragonAccording to the saying of the ancients, "When the green dragon meets no spring, five people want to hide from spring", what kind of people does this refer to?
The first type is the dragon person, and next year's zodiac dragon is the natal year, that is"Year Chong"., you have to hide from Tai Sui, the second is the zodiac dog, that is, "hedging", first.
Three or four areCattle and sheep, which is also known as "offset".
The last one isZodiac RabbitIt's two, these two are the two years of alternating between the old and the new, and they will also make a rush, in summary, it is to add 6 between the Tai Sui zodiac on duty, the difference between the 3 years before and after, and the harmful of these zodiac signs.
The beginning of spring in 24 years is on February 4thThe main time point is in the afternoon of this day, so try not to go out at 4 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon of this dayThrough this practice, you can make yourself auspicious, let yourself have good luck, and you can go smoothly in the future.
In addition to this, our ancestors also have many other folk customsIt is reflected in many places, but what other Xi are there?
Our ancestors were very smart, and there are many other Xi besides hiding spring, which have been passed down for many years until now, among them"Stepping on Spring" is a typical example, literally it and dodging spring are two opposite things, and in fact it is.
The sayings about stepping on spring in different places are also different, and they are all gradually accumulatedIn some places, stepping on spring is to go out to play on the day of the beginning of spring, relax your mood, and release your pressureAnd in some rural areas, the practice is to go to the mountains to cut firewood on the day of the beginning of spring.
Memorize the firewood on the mountainThis practice means "making money".There are also people who can't go up the mountain because of their inconvenient legs, so it's on the day of the beginning of springwent to hunt pigweed, hoping that his family could make a lot of moneyThe days are getting better and better day by day.
There is another statement that is completely different from this onePeople go on stilts on this day of the beginning of spring, people are originally so tall, stepping on stilts can increase people's height a lot, which meansThe new year can be a sesame seed blooming festival
Others will weave a swing by themselvesWhile swinging to get happiness, it can also imply the meaning of ascension, and the moral of the previous practice, in general, stepping on spring and hiding from spring are diametrically opposed,It's not about staying at home on its own.
It's about going out and enjoying the fun with everyone, Enjoy the happy moment together, and step on the spring There is also a saying that the unfortunate and unsatisfactory things around you are stepping on, and it is also seeking a kind of psychological comfort.
Another Xi is:Bite the spring, which can also be seen literally as eating,Spring rolls, the food we are famous for now, also gradually developed from this folkloreOn the day of the beginning of spring, the ancients would put all kinds of food on a plate and eat it.
There is a loaf of bread on the plateLater, it gradually changed to the form of spring rollsThis form represents people's yearning for a better life, and welcomes the arrival of the Spring Festival with a warm mood, which has gradually been passed down to the present.
This Xi is still followed by many peopleIt's a yearning for a beautiful life, and I hope to get off to a good start in the new year.
It doesn't matter what the custom isTo a certain extent, they all represent the reverence of the ancients for nature, representing their deep spiritual sustenance and inner pursuit, when the Guda ordinary people were under the jurisdiction of the ruler, the monarch diligent and the people lived well.
On the contrary, they will live in dire straits, in the continuous development of the economyWhen people's living standards and social and economic conditions have been greatly improved, people will make some recreational activities to enrich their daily life.
In addition, the ancients took farming culture as the main cultureWhen the harvest is relatively good, people look at the harvest of grain, and the joy in their hearts is overflowingAt this time, everyone will organize a celebration of themselves.
In addition, the weather plays a large part of the process of planting crops, and if there is a natural disaster, it will cause a bad harvest of cropsWhen people plant, they plant and harvest crops according to the weather.
In the process, various folk customs and traditional cultures were gradually formedThis is the accumulation of long-term experience of the ancients, even in the 21st century, many folk customs have no practical significance, and gradually fade out of our lives.
But "existence is reasonable", if it is useless, how can it be passed down for so many yearsThey all have an impact on our lives to some extentWe also need to cherish these folk customs.
For the experience summed up by the ancients,Those who believe are also looking for peace of mind and a good omen of good fortune, and whether they believe or not depends entirely on their own choice.
The above is only a part of the folkloreThere are all kinds of folklore in life, what do you know?Feel free to give your own answers in the comment section.
