In a blink of an eye, the last month of the lunar calendar in 2023 is coming. By this month, we are getting closer and closer to the Year of the Dragon in 2024.
As the end of the year, there are naturally many customs and folk customs, such as "Laba Festival" and "Little Year" in December. After these festivals, the flavor of the year will become heavier and heavier.
In the month of Layue, there are also many places that need people's attention. For example, as the saying goes, "the wax moon is taboo tail, the first month is taboo head", the wax moon is adjacent to the first month, why do the older generation say this?
First of all, the "head and tail" mentioned in the proverb refers to the last days of the lunar month and the first few days of the first lunar month, which require special attention.
As the New Year approaches, people are thinking about saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and having an auspicious and good year. If you don't pay attention to some things during these two periods, it may bring bad luck.
So, what things should be paid special attention to at the end of the lunar month and the beginning of the first lunar month of the year?Everyone must keep it in mind!
The wax moon is tabooFirst of all, the first point is that it is best not to move at the end of the month. Approaching the last month of the Chinese New Year, it should be a time to prepare for the holiday, and if you move at this time, it will not only consume mind and energy, but may also affect the New Year.
The weather is cold and freezing at this time of year, and it is not suitable for moving. You can wait until you can rest assured that you will be able to move before you move.
Second, it is best not to borrow money from each other at the end of the month. At this time, it is the time for people to buy New Year's goods, everyone needs money, and if you lend money to outsiders, it will inevitably have an impact. If you borrow money from someone else, you may have a dispute.
Therefore, when the Chinese New Year is approaching, it is best not to mention it to anyone, there is something about money.
New Year's tabooIt is believed that it is not possible to shave your head during the New Year. Generally, the hair will be trimmed in the wax moon, and then wait until February when the dragon raises its head, and then go for a haircut.
And the reason is because, in the folk, there is a saying that "shaving your head in the first month of the new year, breaking your uncle's longevity", and people generally pay attention to this custom.
At the beginning of the first month, it is not allowed to beat and scold the child. The New Year Moon symbolizes the renewal of Vientiane, and if you are grumpy at the beginning and beat and scold your children, then you will not have good luck in the next year.
In addition to not beating and scolding children, there are also folk sayings that you can't clean, can't splash water outside, and can't cry sadly, and these things may not bring bad luck.
