In China's traditional Ganzhi chronology, the "dragon luck" of the lunar calendar is in 2024.
This year is also known as the "leap year". The first time was in 19**, and 60 years have passed. This is also the reason why the zodiac sign in 2024 will be called "once in a century".
The New Year is approaching and everything will be different. Just like many zodiac people, they will buy a big red dress in advance, hoping to get through this "hurdle" safely in their New Year.
However, this year's Jiachen Dragon is different from any previous year, except for those who have the zodiac dragon, they must also choose red among the three types of people.
There is a saying that when there is no spring, when you meet the green dragon, all three of you want to wear red clothes. In this sense, this is a proverb that coincides with "dragon luck".
When it comes to "dragons", everyone has a sense of déjà vu. Since it is the only one of the twelve animals, it has been regarded as an auspicious thing since ancient times.
In mythology, the dragon can call the wind and rain and can soar through the universe, like a mysterious dragon.
In Chinese history, the dragon is the symbol of the emperor, that is, the embodiment of the dragon in the mortal, it is a symbol of a person, so it has a high status in people's minds.
The Year of the Dragon is one of the 12 zodiac signs, and it has a long history and rich cultural heritage.
From the ancient "Dragon Festival" to the current "Dragon Boat Race", they all echo each other with the "Dragon Luck". The festival customs and customs of the Chinese have continued to this day after a long time.
Obviously, this is an animal that only exists in legends, and as people grow up, they have been integrated into the Chinese civilization.
However, it is not the same as the other eleven zodiac signs. Dragons have existed in human fantasies and literary and artistic creations since ancient times.
Coincidentally, this year's lunar calendar happens to be "Dragon Luck". "Jia" means "east", "Chen" is "dragon", and this year is also called "the year of the green dragon".
What is "no spring"? In other words, the Year of the Rabbit in 2023 has already seen two springs, so there is no beginning of spring in this year's lunar calendar 2024.
This is the meaning of the so-called "no spring meets the green dragon".
Compared with "Dragon Luck", "Dragon Luck" is more blessed by the "Heavenly Stem" than "Dragon Luck", so that "Dragon" can give people a feeling of "blessing" and "blessing". In this special year, both individuals and nations are looking forward to breakthroughs and developments.
Since this year is a rare "Year of the Green Dragon" in a century, people also have the saying that "three people must wear red clothes" in their clothing.
In the new Year of the Dragon, not only the Dragon's friends should wear red, but also the Ox, Dog and Rabbit friends.
According to the principle of mutual restraint, dogs, cows, and rabbits are the most suitable for pairing with dragons.
The Chinese worship the "dragon" is very high, the cow and dog are the right-hand man of the "dragon", and the rabbit is a gentle and meticulous animal. The three of them form a small team and help each other.
Secondly, even those who have just turned nine years old should also wear red.
The Chinese regard the singular as an auspicious number. This is true of three, five, and nine, while nine is considered the "pole of the yang number" and represents prosperity and joy.
Therefore, friends of 9, 19, 19, 39 will have good luck in the New Year.
Moreover, the age of the "Dark Nine" also has to wear red clothes.
Ming Jiu: "Yes." Ten.
Nine, twenty-nine and thirty-nine, while the "dark nine" is.
Ten. Eight, twenty.
Seven, thirty-six and forty-five. All in all, he was able to divide his age by nine, so he was given the nickname "Dark Nine".
People of the "Bright Nine" and "Dark Nine" will have an extra red outfit in the New Year, which will make your family and work more prosperous. That's why all three of them have to wear red.
Some people may ask, if you were a dragon, your age could be divided by 9, would you still wear red?
This question is critical.
The twelve zodiac signs are in a circle, just twelve years, and when they reach the people of Jiachenlong, their ages are 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96 ......
Not counting newborns, 36 and 72 can be divided by 9.
In other words, people who happen to be zodiac, if they want to bring themselves good luck in the New Year, they must wear red.
He is between 36 and 72 years old due to the zodiac dragon, and with the biggest one of the year, plus this dragon luck, he is sure to achieve great things in the coming year.
Of course, this is not some superstition, nor is it some "metaphysics", but Chinese customs and habits, which are all handed down from ancestors. Everyone can hold a kind of "you believe me, I will believe you, I will not believe you." ”
However, we can also give it a try, after all, it is the traditional culture left by our ancestors. Anyway, our daily life and study will not be affected.
If you're lucky and everything goes well next year, that's all the better.
