It is known that red clothes are to be worn in the natal year. Almost all friends who have experienced the natal year will prepare a set of red underwear or red socks for themselves, and some will even tie a red bracelet around their wrists for good luck.
However, among the 12 zodiac signs, the Year of the Dragon is particularly special because in real life, in addition to the dragon, the other eleven zodiac signs can be seen.
The upcoming lunar year is the "Year of the Dragon".
Following the ancient adage, "When you meet a green dragon in spring, three people wear red clothes", in addition to those who belong to the dragon, there are three kinds of people who also wear red clothes!
Turning evil into good = bad things can turn into good things.
Traditionally, people who are approaching the natal year are usually anxious, and this view is also based on the experience of previous people.
It is rumored that things may not go well in the natal year, and the saying is called "committing Tai Sui", and in our country, the color red symbolizes good luck.
Cinnabar is defined as an item that "wards off evil spirits", and it is also red, so red is given a special meaning of "turning evil into good fortune". Plus that.
Therefore, during the Spring Festival, red bracelets can often be seen on sale in supermarkets and street stalls, and even some underwear brands will launch "Natal Red" sets.
Even if it doesn't have a practical effect, it's enough to just be comforted psychologically, not to mention that there may be other effects!
It is said that in traditional Chinese culture, the appearance of the New Year beast "Xi" brings an atmosphere of "fear". It is said that Xi is a very malicious beast of the year, and it will come to the world every New Year, and do mischief. But it is said to be very afraid of crackling sounds, red, and fire.
Therefore, on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, every family will light firecrackers and wear red clothes to drive away the New Year beast"Eve", and the red lantern and the couplet symbolize this meaning.
In order to drive away the sunset, this program is called "Chinese New Year's Eve", which is the Chinese New Year's Eve!
Due to the peculiarity of the year of the dragon, some equally special signs also need to be noted, and these people need to wear red.
In traditional Chinese culture, the three zodiac genera of ox, dog and rabbit correspond to the twelve earthly branches. Specifically, the ox corresponds to the "ugly" in the earthly branch, and the "ugly and ugly" means committing Tai Sui.
The genus of dog corresponds to the five elements, which is "Chen Xu Xiang Chong", and Xiang Chong represents Chong Tai Sui.
The "Rabbit" is the last unique aspect of the Chinese zodiac, and according to the law of the earthly branch, the rabbits should also be prepared in the upcoming year of the dragon, after all, it is always right to act cautiously.
In addition to wearing red according to the physiognomy, people in the age group of "Feng Jiu" are also the second group of people who wear red.
"Bright Nine" and "Dark Nine" are two classifications of every nine. The so-called "Ming Jiu" refers to people whose age includes the number "9", whether they are nine or ninety-nine years old, they all belong to this category.
In traditional Chinese culture, the number nine is regarded as supreme, just as one represents greatness, and nine symbolizes heaven. Just as 8 symbolizes wealth and 4 means bad luck, 9 also represents longevity and longevity.
Because it is the true and the most positive, some people worry that there will be people whose life is not strong enough to resist this number, especially for children and the elderly.
Therefore, in the countryside, the elderly and children also wear red costumes to celebrate this special festival in order to gather strength.
"Dark nine" refers to multiples of nine, and this concept can also be used for age, for example, 18 years old is 2 times 9, 27 years old is 3 times 9 to get it, all belong to the category of dark nine.
Therefore, these older people usually choose to wear red clothes and do self-energy blessings. Although this is more of a psychological effect, psychological comfort can sometimes make a huge difference at critical moments.
In addition to the term natal year, people are also paying more attention to the topic of "widow's year".
"No Spring" is the same as "Year of the Widow"?
In folklore, "no spring" means no spring, and in the village, if the husband unfortunately dies, the wife left behind is also called a "widow".
The two may seem unrelated, but in folk tradition, people describe the loss of a husband as the loss of spring. However, this explanation may be a bit far-fetched.
There was no phenomenon of the beginning of spring before, such as 2024, which was originally called the "widow year", so in the end, one possibility is that it has been passed down from generation to generation.
When gossip is disseminated, the facts are often exaggerated, causing the person concerned to feel unhappy when they hear it, so it is not surprising that the widow year is rumored to be the "widow's year".
Even today, the countryside still inherits the proverb that "it is not suitable for marriage in the year of a widow", and this saying also has its basis, no spring is not no spring, but refers to the beginning of spring just before the lunar calendar!
The beginning of spring in 2024 falls on February 4, while the lunar year falls on February 10, so this lunar year is called "no spring".
The Chinese New Year has passed, which marks the beginning of a new year. However, the beginning of spring comes too early, and it is likely to bring "cold spring" weather.
According to the experience of ancient people, even the autumn of the same year can be unusually dry. Sudden changes in climate can lead to an increase in the number of patients with diseases, especially in ancient times when medical care was underdeveloped, and some "epidemics" often meant "death".
Ancient women generally went out less often and had little contact with pathogens, while the risk of her husband's infection was incalculable.
Climate change is leading to an increase in the incidence of disease, especially in the case of "widow years". As a result, the widowhood year has come to be known as the "widow's year".
However, there is no scientific basis for those who claim that "young people are not fit for a marriage holiday".
The upcoming year of the dragon is a typical "year without spring", but because the year of the dragon only appears once every 60 years, and the dragon itself has an auspicious meaning in ancient Chinese mythology, the year of the dragon is also called "auspicious year"!
All in all, some atheists say that they don't believe in anything and that they are doing well, as they say believe in what they believe and what they don't.
