According to China's ancient sexagenary chronology, 2024 is called the year of Jiachen, and because the zodiac represented by the earthly branch "Chen" is "dragon", 2024 is also the year of "dragon".
Dragons are a special kind of existence in our country. In myths and legends, the dragon is a supernatural beast and the head of all beasts. In China's traditional culture, it is a symbol of power, nobility and honor. So the people of the zodiac dragon will also be given special attention.
According to the old man, 2024 is the natal year of the dragon people, but what is the natal year? What should I pay attention to in the natal year?
What is the natal year?
"Natal year" is a special concept, a term for the cycle of the sexagenary branches. The sexagenary branch is the chronological method that has been used in China since the Yin Shang period.
The chronology of the sexagenary branch includes: the ten heavenly stems (A, B, C, D, E, G, G, XIN, NON, and DE) and.
Twelve earthly branches (Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai).
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to facilitate the year, but also to facilitate people to know more about the change of time and calculate their age, people chose twelve kinds of animals as the zodiac, and people corresponded to the twelve earthly branches and the zodiac: the rat, the ugly ox, the tiger, the rabbit, the dragon, the snake, the horse, the sheep, the monkey, the rooster, the dog, the pig.
There are a total of 60 combinations of the 10 heavens and the 12 earthly branches, such as the upcoming year of 2023 and the upcoming year of Jiachen in 2024, a cycle is 60 years.
The natal year is the year of the return of the five elements, that is, the heavenly and terrestrial branches are the same, so it is a 60-year cycle. For example, 2024 is the year of the Jiachen Dragon, and pushing forward 60 years is also the year of the Jiachen Dragon, and pushing back 60 years is also the year of the Jiachen Dragon, so 2024 is the natal year of those born in 1964, and 2084 is the natal year of those born in 2024 and 1964.
Now, people regard the year of the lunar calendar that occurs once in 12 years, that is, the year when the earthly branch is the same, as the "natal year", in fact, this is strictly called the year of the zodiac year, not the natal year. But now the saying that you don't look at the heavenly stems and only look at the earthly branches is accepted by many people, so the year of the dragon in 2024 has become the natal year of all the dragon years.
Some people may ask, since the natal year is once every 60 years, is it true that the "natal year" that everyone often hears about the 12-year cycle is prone to bad luck and calamities?
In fact, it is true, this has a lot to do with Tai Sui.
What is Tai Sui?
Tai Sui was considered by the ancients to be a kind of "evil god", and the folk have known as "the year of the birth of the Tai Sui, the Tai Sui should sit on the head, and there will be disaster if there is no joy". The so-called "Tai Sui" is Jupiter, that is, the "year star", whose orbital period is about 12 times that of the earth, and is divided into 12 weeks, and the 12 zodiac signs also change with the operation of the Tai Sui. That is, every 30 degrees of the year is the year of the earth.
In the year of Jiachen in 2024, the year star will be transferred to the position of the southeast "Chen", so in this year, all the aspects that are in phase value, relative, punishment, breaking, and harming with the year star will have relative power to the "year star", which is often referred to as "committing Tai Sui". It belongs to the year of the year, and it has the meaning of "fighting for Tai Sui", so in the "natal year", people are prone to bad luck and disasters.
In the folk customs of the north and south, there is a tradition of wearing red, avoiding evil spirits, and avoiding disasters in the natal year, at this time, both adults and children will wear red underwear, red insels, red socks or red belts; In some places, the accessories you wear are tied with red strings.
In 2024, this year is not the natal year of ordinary dragon people, but the year of double offense Tai Sui, the zodiac dragon is not only punished Tai Sui but also worth Tai Sui, so dragon people should pay special attention to this year!
What to look out for in the 2024 zodiac dragon?
According to ancient records, the natal year of the dragon people is not all bad, and there are also auspicious stars to help. In 2024, this is the case, the dragon people are still relatively lucky in terms of work, with the help of the three auspicious stars of "Jiangxing", "Suijia" and "Huacani", the talents and management capabilities of the dragon people will be fully exerted, whether it is an entrepreneur or an office worker, there is a good development in the career.
But dragon people can't ignore the double offense of Tai Sui in 2024. In the traditional concept, people who commit Tai Sui will have a heavier bad spirit, so this year is not suitable for weddings and funerals, nor is it suitable for moving and relocating, and it is best not to go to the hospital or attend funerals, which is easy to make the bad luck worse.
This year, dragon people may face many twists and turns in the emotional and workplace, especially be careful with words, avoid easily offending others and causing trouble, and pay special attention to travel safety, be wary of all kinds of accidental injuries and *** pieces brought by "Jianfeng", and pay attention to protecting yourself when you go out.
Tai Sui will also be detrimental to physical health, everyone must pay attention to maintaining a good diet and regular work and rest, avoid various physical problems caused by overwork, quit bad habits, maintain proper exercise and regular health check-ups.
In 2024, dragon people need to pay special attention to wearing red items more often during this year, and try to avoid doing some behaviors or things that may offend Tai Sui in their daily life. Some people may scoff at this, but these customs that have been passed down for thousands of years definitely don't hurt to pay attention to them.
