Why is it said that the baby dragon born in 2024 may not be born? Which day is the zodiac divided?
Do you know what kind of person you are? This sentence has been heard by Chinese, and even by several children. This is our Chinese tradition, and it is also our pride in our nation.
In Chinese culture, the zodiac is a special custom, as the saying goes, the zodiac is also closely related to our destiny, personality, and the track of life.
Every year is the beginning of a new round of zodiac, and this year happens to be the "Year of the Dragon", and the thing that many parents look forward to the most is to be able to have a baby dragon, which is a good sign.
However, have you ever thought that not all babies born in 2024 are "dragon babies"? And the answers to these questions are actually the mystery of the genus classification.
First of all, we must understand that the signs are not distinguished by years. Chinese people are celebrating the Chinese New Year, the festival of the Chinese people.
Therefore, many people believe that New Year's Day is the beginning of the new zodiac, like the Chinese New Year's Eve night of the new year, which is the Year of the Rabbit, and the first day of the first lunar month, which is the Year of the Dragon.
However, according to the zodiac, the beginning of the new year will not start from the Lunar New Year, but will be determined according to the "beginning of spring" in the 24 solar terms.
In fact, the "beginning of spring", one of the 24 solar terms, is a sign of a change in the physiognomy. The beginning of spring marks the arrival of spring and the beginning of the Lunar New Year. In 2024, February 4 will be the first day of spring. On this day, the genus changes according to the rising and setting of the sun.
This year's spring is just before 16:27:1 on February 4, and we are a relative animal, that is, the Year of the Rabbit; Next, there is the new zodiac, which is the Year of the Dragon.
Therefore, even if the year 2024 of the lunar calendar is "Dragon Luck", those children born in the "beginning of spring" will be classified as the "Year of the Rabbit". The time of the dragon is after the beginning of spring. Although it is not yet the New Year, this year is already the year of the dragon, so during this time, the children born are called "dragon babies".
This may come as a surprise to a lot of people. People are accustomed to regard the New Year as the beginning of the new year and define the new zodiac sign accordingly.
But in fact, this method is not entirely correct. In China, the New Year is just a traditional tradition, which symbolizes the arrival of the New Year. As for the zodiac, it's even more complicated.
Why is genus classification so important? In traditional Chinese culture, the zodiac not only symbolizes a person's fate and personality characteristics, but also has a profound cultural connotation.
The ancients believed that each aspect has its own unique symbols and customs. For example, the dragon symbolizes auspiciousness, prosperity, and strength; The rabbit symbolizes gentleness, peace, and wisdom.
In addition, among the people, there is also a saying that "avoiding spring" on the day of "beginning of spring". Of course, not everyone should avoid spring, only those who are in conflict will avoid spring. For example, 2024 is the Year of the Dragon, and those who clash with the zodiac dragon are to avoid spring, they are dragons, oxen, rabbits, dogs, etc.
In addition, it is not necessary to hide for a day to avoid spring, in the two hours before and after the beginning of the Spring Festival, you should avoid going out, stay at home, or find a secluded place, meditate, listen to songs, read books, be especially careful, and do not quarrel with others during this time.
In addition, the day of the beginning of spring is also the year of the zodiac dragon. And according to custom, in the natal year, people will wear red underwear, **red bands, red**, etc. It is also a traditional custom, which carries the good wishes of the Han people for exorcism, disaster avoidance and blessing.
Through the study of the historical origin, evolution process and its connection with the humanities and society, we can have a deeper understanding of the profound heritage and unique attraction of Chinese tradition. This plays a very important role in promoting cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, enhancing cultural self-confidence, and promoting the inheritance and development of Chinese culture.
