The beginning of spring in 2024 is approaching, keep in mind 1 to hide, 2 to pay attention, 3 not to do, do 4 things, and welcome the New Year safely
This year's "Spring Hit Five-Nine Tails" has now entered the "Five-Nine" in the number nine, and there are still a few days to usher in the new solar term Spring.
The beginning of "Beginning of Spring" also symbolizes that the whole winter has passed, at this time, under the guidance of the spring breeze, the earth is gradually recovering, and the mountains and rivers will also usher in green vitality.
Since the beginning of spring is the beginning of the "first year of the year", in the 24 solar terms, the day of the beginning of spring is not ordinary, and there are many folk customs. For example, on the day of the beginning of spring, it is necessary to "hide from spring", "bite spring", "whip spring cow" and other customs.
For this reason, the rural elderly believe that on the day of the beginning of spring, they should remember:"1 to hide, 2 to pay attention, 3 not to do, do 4 things, so that we can usher in the new year safely. So what are the things to do, I will answer
1 to hide:
According to the folk elders, on the day of the beginning of spring, it is necessary to "hide from spring", so what is "hiding from spring"? In fact, hiding from spring, according to the old man, is "hiding Tai Sui", which is a custom of ancient folk.
Because in the eyes of the ancients, although the day of the beginning of spring is the beginning of the year, it also marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring, and it is also the end of the old and the beginning of the new.
At this time, under the operation of the earth's magnetic field, some energy and atmosphere may be unstable, which is to avoid some people who are weak or have conflicts with Tai Sui. Of course, this is just a kind of folk culture, let's just take a look.
How to hide from spring:
The time of the "festival" on the day of Lichun is 16:26:53 in the afternoon of February 4, so the elderly in the countryside think that it is okay to close the windows and doors and not come out for an hour around 16:26 in the afternoon, so they can take refuge.
Of course, this is just some folk customs, we just take it as entertainment, don't go deep into it, and don't believe it.
2 Note:
Don't be lazy:
The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the plan of the day lies in the morning ......"Therefore, the day of the beginning of spring is also the beginning of the rise of yang energy.
At this time, spring returns to the earth, and Vientiane is renewed, so when the day of the beginning of spring comes, we must get up early, go outside for a walk, or move things at will, in order to breathe the "vitality" brought by spring.
Therefore, you must get up early on this day and don't lie in bed, because this is a new beginning, in order to be able to please a good fortune in the new year, this is the meaning of the beginning of spring.
Taboo quarrels:
The plan of a family lies in harmony, and the plan of a lifetime lies in diligence and ......"On the day of the beginning of spring, it is also the first day of the recovery of all things, so the old people in the village think that they must not quarrel, just like their families and outsiders.
As for why, because this day represents the power of spring, and it is also the first day of the Year of the Dragon, if there is a quarrel at this time, it will bring some bad emotions to the New Year, which is naturally not good.
Therefore, this day must be harmonious and smiling. Although some people are in a mood unstable on this day, don't be impatient and welcome the new year happily.
3 Don't do:
Lichun does not return to his parents' home:
The beginning of spring is also the beginning of spring, is an important activity in folk customs, commonly known as "performing spring", is the day to bring spring and the East back.
Therefore, when this day comes, every family will welcome spring and welcome the luck of spring. Of course, according to the folk elders, the daughter who marries on this day cannot return to her parents' home. Because as the saying goes:"Go to my mother's house in the spring and step on the poor brother-in-law"!
Of course, this is just a common saying, and the main reason for not going back to my parents' house is this:
When the girl went home, her father and mother had no leisure to entertain, and came back to make trouble for her father.
The father and mother were afraid that the girl would go home and borrow the ploughing cattle, which would delay the farming.
Of course, this is just a folk custom, because going back to my parents' house every day, as an uncle-in-law and daughter-in-law, it is not pleasing to the eye.
Lichun does not lie in bed:
The beginning of spring represents the beginning of spring, and it is also the revival of all things on the earth, so this day should also conform to the time of day and show a positive attitude towards life.
Of course, our ancestors also invented many custom activities to welcome spring, and these activities are held in the morning. The implication is that young people can pay attention to the day of the beginning of spring, so it is better not to stay in bed in the morning of this day.
Lichun is not**:
We have a saying that "the beginning of spring is not **", although after entering the spring, the weather is gradually getting warmer, but as the saying goes, "is good".The children's face in the beginning of spring changes three times a day".
The meaning of this sentence is that after entering the beginning of spring, the weather is also capricious, just like a child's face, the weather changes when it is said. At this time, if you take off your cotton clothes, it will be easy to freeze and cause a cold. Therefore, on the day of the beginning of spring, it is necessary to "cover the spring", and do not take off thick clothes at will.
Do 4 things:
The beginning of spring to "step on the spring":
In fact, the beginning of spring and stepping on spring is also a folk activity in the folk, just like hiding from spring, also called "stepping on spring".
Therefore, on the day of the beginning of spring, we should also enjoy the fresh air of nature, climb high and look far away, and feel the breath of spring. Of course, this approach is also good, after all, the beginning of spring heralds the beginning, and we also look forward to good health in the new year, everything goes well, and we are moving forward step by step.
Lichun wants to "bite spring":
For biting spring, the ancient book "Jingshifang Lane Chronicles" says:
"The beginning of spring is a raw radish, and the name is biting spring";In fact, the "bite spring" of the beginning of spring is actually the traditional food eaten on this day of the beginning of spring. As the saying goes".If the grass is bitten and broken, then Pepsi can be doneSo when this day comes, you have to buy a radish and let the children take a bite to eat, which is called "biting spring".
Of course, for the meaning of "biting spring", the ancestors believed that it was a good wish to have a bumper harvest of grains, rejoice in spring, and look forward to a bumper harvest.
Lichun wants to "worship ancestors":
On our side, the custom of sacrificing ancestors in the beginning of spring is popular, for example, the ancient book "Xin'an County Chronicles" records:
"The people think that there is something to do in the ancestral shrine ...... the day”Of course, on the day of the beginning of spring, the food offered to the ancestors is also more special, not like the Midyear Festival and the Qingming Festival, but a kind of cake to be enshrined, called "spring cake", as well as various offerings such as chickens and fish.
As for why we should worship our ancestors, in fact, this is also because our descendants do not forget their ancestors, do not forget their original intentions, and inherit a kind of filial piety.
Eat "spring rolls" in the beginning of spring:
In addition to worshipping ancestors, on this day, it is also necessary to eat spring rolls, which are called "spring cakes", which are made of a kind of hot dough pancake, with two small pieces of water, smeared with oil in the middle, and rolled into thin noodles.
And the stuffing inside the spring rolls is used".Bacon meat, garlic, black dates, walnuts, sugar, sugar".crushed together, and made. Of course, after entering the beginning of spring, with the rise of yang energy, eating such spring rolls can supplement vitamins and trace elements to make the body adapt to the time.
Written at the end: So through the above, there are still some folk customs for the day of the beginning of spring. Of course, these customs are also handed down by our ancestors, which is of great significance to our descendants. In this way, after the beginning of the Spring Festival, you can spend a New Year safely.
