In the blink of an eye, the time came to the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, which is a very special day among the people, with many different customs and taboos.
First of all, in feng shui, this day is the "poison day", that is, the biggest death day of the people, Yang Gongji, also called "Hades", is considered a particularly taboo day. According to folk sayings, this day is the "most poisonous" and "most ruthless" day, and many things cannot be done, otherwise you will suffer bad luck.
Secondly, in the folk, this day is still the "lamp birthday", that is, to celebrate the birthday of the lamp, you need to light the stove lamp, which means that the future days will be like a lamp and become more and more popular.
In addition, this day is also a big day to worship Guan Gong. And it is especially prevalent among the people. So why worship Guan Gong?
Worshipping Guan Gong is a traditional folk belief. In the eyes of the ancients, Guan Gong's status was the same as that of Confucius, except that one was a martial saint and the other was a literary saint; And the number of Guan Gong temples even far exceeds that of Confucius's Confucian Temple. Why is this happening? Because Guan Gong talks about "loyalty, righteousness, faith, wisdom, benevolence, and courage", it is the way for people to survive, especially for business, and it is the way to make money
Guan Gong, that is, Guan Yu, a famous general in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, his body is majestic and mighty, brave in battle, using the Qinglong Yanyue knife, known as "ten thousand enemies", can kill all unrighteous people. After his death, the people revered him as "Guan Gong", and set up a temple for him, as the patron saint of bad luck.
With the passage of time, Guan Gong has gradually been mythologized by the folk, believing that the thirteenth day of the first lunar month is the day when he ascended to heaven to become an immortal, so the thirteenth day of the first lunar month every year has become a day to worship Guan Gong, and people hope to pray for good luck for a year by worshipping Guan Gong. So far, worshipping Guan Gong has gradually become a culture and a spirit.
It should be noted thatWhen worshipping Guan Gong, an offering is used, which is called "Tian Plate".。Maybe many people don't know what this is, in fact, it is a kind of handicraft, which is made of soybeans, melon seeds, peach kernels, bamboo sticks, and then set up by several saucers.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't have it, because worshipping Guan Gong focuses on sincerity. In addition, for the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, the old man said that he should remember to do 4 things well, and his family will go smoothly for a year, which 4 things?
First, don't go to relatives。The thirteenth day of the first lunar month is called "Yang Gongji", which belongs to the taboo day of the year, and it is also a relatively unlucky day, so the ancients believed that this day is not suitable for relatives, otherwise it is not good for relatives.
Second, they don't see patients。The folk say that "I don't see a doctor on the thirteenth day of the first month, but I see a doctor for a year." It is said that this day is not suitable for seeing a doctor, because this day is a poisonous day, and seeing a doctor can easily lead to the aggravation of the patient's condition, especially the elderly, so in order to make people healthy and stay away from the disease, people will taboo to see the patient on this day.
