In traditional Chinese culture, Laba Festival is a very important day. On this day, every household prepares delicious Laba congee to pray for a safe and auspicious new year. In this festival, there is a common saying that is often mentioned, that is, "Laba poison day, the grave of the next year". What exactly does this phrase mean?What does it predict for next year?
First, let's break down the meaning of this saying. "Laba Poison Sun", here "Poison Sun" refers to the fact that the sun is very fierce and the temperature is very high on the day of Laba Festival. The "grave in the coming year" means that in the coming year, people's fate will be very unsmooth, and they may even encounter death. Therefore, this proverb expresses anxiety and fear about the future.
However, we should also be aware that this proverb does not really predict future fate. In fact, the future depends on the influence of many complex factors, such as climate, environment, socio-economic conditions, etc. Therefore, we cannot make overly pessimistic statements about the future based on a common saying.
So, why has such a saying been handed down?This is mainly due to the fact that in traditional Chinese culture, Laba is generally considered to be an important turning point that heralds the arrival of a new year. At this time, people will ** their future destiny in various ways, according to their intuition and experience. And this kind of ** is not scientific**, but people's psychological comfort and sustenance.
However, no matter what the future holds, we should all face life positively. We should cherish every day, work hard and study, and constantly improve our abilities and qualities. Only in this way will we be able to remain invincible in the challenges ahead.
In short, although the saying "the day of Laba poison will start the grave in the coming year" does not really predict the fate of the future, it reflects people's worries and fears about the future. We should look at this rationally and not be swayed by a common saying. At the same time, we should also face life positively and strive to improve our abilities and qualities to meet the challenges of the future.
