In 2024, the old man said a sentence: "The green dragon guards the treasury, and the rat monkey wears red", do you know what it means?This is an ancient custom passed down from the elders, and the sooner you understand it, the more you can appreciate the mysteries.
This year, according to the traditional Ganzhi calendar, we ushered in the Year of the Dragon, which is the Year of the Rabbit in the lunar calendar. This stem-branch calendar consists of ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches, which are used for the year, month, day, and time, respectively. The 10 heavenly stems include A, B, C, D, E, H, G, XIN, NON and DE;The twelve earthly branches are Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai. The elders tell us that the inheritance of this calendar has a profound meaning and allows us to understand the flow of time.
In the era name of this Ganzhi calendar, from the first "Jiazi" year, it is arranged in a way that matches two pairs, and it takes 60 years until the second "Jiazi" year. When a person reaches the age of 60, it is usually called the "year of the sixtieth year". Last year was the year of "Zhu Mao", and this year ushered in the year of "Jiachen".
At the same time, these 12 earthly branches also correspond to the 12 animals, forming the traditional 12 genera, including the rat, the ugly ox, the tiger, the rabbit, the dragon, the snake, the horse, the sheep, the monkey, the rooster, the dog, and the pig. This year, as the year of the Jiachen Dragon, according to the Five Elements Theory, the earthly branch "Jia" belongs to "wood", which symbolizes the color of cyan, so the year of the Jiachen Dragon is also called the "Year of the Green Dragon".
This profound calendar and physiognomy tradition runs through the thousand-year-old heritage of our Chinese culture, allowing us to better understand the mysteries of time in this new year.
In 2024, the Year of the Dragon, the year begins its week on the ecliptic, and even in modern society, people still retain a keen interest in traditional culture. The movement of this year star is not only related to astronomy, but also closely related to the zodiac.
In this special Year of the Dragon, we refer to the legendary and mysterious dragon, which symbolizes good fortune and wealth and is expected of wealth. There is an interesting saying that it is called "Qinglong Shou Treasury", which means that the dragon will guard people's wealth in the new year, making it safer, making income more stable, and the money bag is more and more full, and it can be issued all year round.
At the same time, during this time, the star traverses multiple constellations on the ecliptic, with the solar hour being a particularly noteworthy moment. Chentu became the dominant force, and according to the Five Elements Theory, the wood qi was weakened and the earth qi was excessive. This phenomenon has a unique effect on the Year of the Dragon, as Chentu interacts with Shenjin, Youjin, and Zishui. This year's "Tai Sui" power is particularly strong.
In traditional astronomy, the sky is divided into twelve regions, and Jupiter orbits about thirty degrees per year, taking twelve years to complete one week. This cycle is closely linked to people's zodiac signs, forming a mysterious and interesting relationship.
Overall, in this 2024 Year of the Dragon, traditional culture and modern concepts are blended, and the movement of the year star becomes a unique symbol that makes us look forward to the steady growth of wealth during this time, just as the green dragon guards our treasury.
The year 2024 is the year of Jiachen, and for the zodiac monkey and the rat, the conjunctions with the year stars are quite special. In the Five Elements, water is regarded as the "star of wealth" of earth and the "official star" of fire. Therefore, during the year, the Zodiac Monkey and Rat should strengthen the power of fire and earth to balance the water element strengthened by the Year Star. In the mutual restraint of the five elements, earth is born of gold, and fire is made of water, therefore, it is recommended that in 2024, the zodiac rat and the zodiac monkey wear more red clothing. Red symbolizes the element of fire, fire gives birth to earth, and earth gives birth to gold, implying that in 2024, the cause will be prosperous, the wealth will be rolling, and hard work will bring a bumper harvest and happiness.
