However, there are also many customs on the ninth day of the first lunar month in the countryside, and this day is the "Tiangong Day" in traditional folk customs, so the rural elders think:On the ninth day of the first lunar month, no matter how busy you are, don't forget 5 major events, and the Year of the Dragon will be smooth and smooth. So what exactly is this day for? Let me answer:
What is the ninth day of the first month:
The ninth day of the first lunar month is "Tiangong Day".
The ninth day of the first lunar month, commonly known as "Tiangongsheng", is one of the traditional Chinese lunar festivals.
For the saying of "Tiangong", in fact, in Taoist culture, the ninth day of the first lunar month is "Jade Emperor Christmas", commonly known as "Jade Emperor Meeting". In the myth ** "Journey to the West", the Heavenly Emperor is the Jade Emperor God, and the Jade Emperor governs all the gods, earth, people and ghosts.
So in the myth ** "Journey to the West", like the Queen Mother's peach event, the ninth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of "Tiangong". Therefore, some areas that believe in Taoism, including Taiwan, Fujian, Hong Kong and other regions, will hold a "worship to heaven" festival on this day, so this is also a kind of Taoism, including the belief and folk customs of some places.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, "Vegetable Day".
The old man often said that "seven people, eight grains, nine vegetables and ten fruits", so the ninth day of the first lunar month is also the birthday of vegetables.
According to myths and legends, Nuwa Niangniang was created in turn after mending the skySix livestock, people, vegetables and fruits。Where:
The first day of the first month: Rooster Day, the second day of the first month: Dog Day, the third day of the first month: Pig Day, the fourth day of the first month: Sheep Day, the fifth day of the first month: Ox Day, the sixth day of the first month: Horse Day, the seventh day of the first month: the day of people, the eighth day of the first month: the day of the millet, the ninth day of the first month: the day of vegetables, the tenth day of the first month: the day of fruits.That is, the old man said "seven people, eight grains, nine vegetables and ten fruits", although this is just a myth and legend, but this is also set up by our ancestors, so on the ninth day of the first month, you can cook a pot of vegetable soup to express gratitude.
5 major events don't forget, the Year of the Dragon has a smooth journey:
First, on the ninth day of the first month, sacrifice.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, "worship the heavenly father" is a custom of Taoist culture, so in some places in our country, including Wudang Mountain, Jiuhua Mountain, Wuyue and other folk people, a grand "will be held".Worship God"Ritual.
Especially in some areas along the southeast coast, such as southern Fujian, Taiwan Province of China, as well as Hong Kong, Macao and other regions, some grand ceremonies are held on this day, which is more than the New Year. And".The ritual of "worshipping the heavenly father" often begins in the early morning of the ninth day of the lunar month and ends at dawn.
Although the ritual of "worshipping Tiangong" is Taoist culture, for some places, in addition to worshipping Tiangong, it is also necessary to "".Ancestor worship"Activities.
The ancestor worship on this day, also known as the "travel sacrifice", is also a custom handed down in many places, and it is also one of the important lunar festivals, the purpose of which is to worship the ancestors and thank the ancestors for their kindness, which is also a manifestation of the peace and happiness of the harmonious family.
Second, on the ninth day of the first lunar month, no living beings should be killed, but they should be released.
Since the ninth day of the first lunar month is a day of folk sacrifice, according to folk customs, this day is also not suitable for killing.
Of course, for some laws of nature, the great poet Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty has a poem:
Who is born in the masses and has a small life, and the flesh and bones are generally skinned. Persuade the gentleman not to fight the three spring birds, and the son will look at the mother in the nest.The meaning of this sentence is that when spring comes, some of the fish are also carrying roe, and the birds are still in the nest waiting for the mother bird to return.
Therefore, after entering spring, it is also the season of "spring birth", and the grass and trees do not break, the insects and beasts do not kill, and the heart of heaven is benevolent. So we might as well do what we can, don't kill on this day, and release fish and birds to give them a chance to recuperate.
Third, on the ninth day of the first lunar month, go out to do errands.
As the saying goes, "three, six, nine, go out", so this day is also a good day for travel.
Of course, there is also a saying that "seven do not go out, eight do not return, and nine things are done", which means that on the seventh day of the first lunar month, the seven basic elements of family life (firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea) should be ensured and prepared.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, when you go out, you must also do a good job in the eight virtues of life (filial piety, loyalty, faithfulness, courtesy, righteousness, honesty, and shame).
And wait until the ninth day of the first lunar month, you can go out to do some things, including going to work, talking about business, opening a business, etc., so many people choose to go out to work or run errands on the ninth day of the first month.
Fourth, on the ninth day of the first month, do not quarrel.
As the saying goes: "Harmony produces wealth, family and everything prospers", of course, according to folk sayings, the ninth day of the first lunar month is the day of worship, so this day is not suitable for quarrels.
However, except for the ninth day of the first month, don't quarrel at any time, because:Family trivialities, or neighborhood disputes, or quarrels between friends and colleagues, are all negative energy, which can cause anger and hurt the liver, and affect family harmony at worst.
Therefore, some things should also be communicated with the region with harmony, peace of mind, after all, harmony makes money, and quarrels are naturally not good.
Fifth, on the ninth day of the first month, do not borrow money.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, you should also avoid lending money. Because according to the tradition left by our ancestors, the first month and the month are not suitable for borrowing money. Because:
The first month is the beginning of the new year, at this time, everyone will earn money as long as they are willing to work hard, if someone borrows money, then this person will not mix well, so there will be a situation where it is difficult to borrow and repay. Therefore, it is not suitable to borrow money from the bedroom on this day.
Written at the end: Through the above, the ninth day of the first lunar month is still not ordinary, and it is better to grasp yourself in some things, do not quarrel, do not borrow money, and do things reasonably, so that in the new year of the dragon can be smooth.
