This day, in the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, is not an ordinary day. It carries blessings, customs and mystical omens, and pulls us into an ancient and fascinating world.
In the first month of the lunar calendar, every day is filled with a strong New Year's flavor and an atmosphere of blessings. And the thirteenth day of the first lunar month is a special day. According to the ancient tradition, on this day, the stove lamp is lit to pray for the blessing of the stove king, hoping that he will bring good luck in the Year of the Dragon. At the same time, it is also the Lantern Festival, where families begin to make lanterns for the upcoming Lantern Festival, and the whole New Year is immersed in joy and peace.
However, the thirteenth day of the first lunar month is not just a day of prayer, it is also a day full of mysteries. It is one of the thirteen taboos of Yang Gong, and the day when the legendary Hades were taboo. Yang Gong Ji, also known as "Yang Gong Thirteen Taboos", refers to the thirteen death days in the lunar calendar, each with one day in each month, corresponding to the first month.
Ten. March, February.
Ten. 1. The ninth day of the first month of March. These days are considered unlucky, and people have taboos during these days to avoid making important decisions and actions.
Today, we ushered in the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, which is the first death day in Yang Gongji. Although many people in modern society may no longer strictly abide by these ancient taboos, they are still part of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, reflecting people's awe and respect for nature and the universe.
So, on such a special day, how did our ancestors use the weather to ** the future? There is a peasant proverb that says it well: "Look at the sky on the thirteenth day of the first month, and you don't need to ask the gods for a year."

This ancient wisdom makes us can't help but admire the observation and insight of the ancients.
So, how exactly should we look at it? The answer is given in the agricultural proverb. If there is snow on the morning of the 13th day of the first lunar month, it is a good indication that this summer will be a good year. Snowflakes bring moisture to the earth and provide plenty of moisture for crops such as wheat, heralding a good year of snow and abundance.
On the other hand, if there is thunder on the morning of the 13th day of the first lunar month, it is a sign that there may be a drought in the spring of this year. Thunder usually means a change in the weather, and thunder on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month is considered a bad omen. This means that this year's spring may have little rain and drought, which will have a certain impact on the growth of crops.
