How much do you know about the encyclopedia of the year
The ice and snow melt, the warbler flies and the grass grows, the long cold winter is finally coming to an end, on February 4th, it will usher in the beginning of the spring solar term, which is also the first solar term of spring, and the beginning of another four seasons!
This time the beginning of spring is more special, it is at the end of the old year, which is equivalent to 2 beginning of spring terms in 2023, and there will be no beginning of spring terms in the corresponding 2024 lunar year. After that, the next beginning of the Spring Festival will not be until February 4, 2025. In addition, this year's Lichun is still next to Xiao Nian, which can be said to be a joy on top of joy.
As the first of the 24 solar terms, in people's hearts, the beginning of spring is not only a solar term, but also a grand festival, with many customs and exquisiteness. In this regard,There is a popular saying among the people, called "Spring beats five or nine tails, and three people want to hide from spring", do you know what it means? Let's take a look, see early and understand early.
The first half of this saying, "Spring hits five or nine tails", refers to the time of the beginning of spring.
"Counting nine" is a method used by the folk of our country to learn the best cold winter weather, generally counting from the winter solstice, and counting to 9 days for a nine, respectively.
One. IX.II.
Nine, thirty-nine ,......Until ninety-nine. Among them, three.
September and April 9 are the coldest times of the year, and it has arrived.
Five. Nine, sixty-nine, the cold will slowly dissipate, and there will gradually be the breath of spring.
This year's 59 days are counted from January 27 and will not end until February 4, which is equivalent to February 4 being the last day of May 9. This year's beginning of spring happens to be on February 4, which is the same date as the last day of Wujiu, so there is a saying that "spring hits Wujiuwei".
When people say "spring hits five or nine tails", it is mainly used to ** the quality of the year. According to the explanation of the agricultural proverb, when the beginning of spring coincides with the last day of May and September, it means that spring comes earlier, and the weather will warm up faster, which is conducive to the sowing and growth of crops, and there will be a good year, but there may also be a "cold spring", so we must take precautions in advance.
As the agricultural proverb goes, "In the spring, every family eats white rice; Hit six or nine heads in spring, and sell scalpers"., refers to the relationship between the beginning of spring and the "number nine". However, with the development of modern agricultural technology, agricultural production is gradually moving away from dependence on the weather. We can understand these folk sayings, which are the life experiences of the ancients summed up in their daily farming.
"Hiding from spring" is a custom of people in ancient times when they celebrate the beginning of the Spring Festival, and some places still have this exquisiteness. The origin of this custom is because the ancients believed that the beginning of spring is the first day of the year, and the climate and magnetic field of nature will change, and the old and the new will be replaced, which is easy to cause disputes and contradictions.
According to the old saying, the main thing is that the following "three people" want to hide from spring:
1. Natal year phase: 2024 is the year of the dragon, which refers to the dragon phase;
2. Zodiac signs that are in conflict with the New Year: The Year of the Dragon in 2024 mainly refers to the four zodiac signs of rabbit, dog, ox, and sheep;
3. Imaginary age and "9" related to the genus: including the number of ages in "9" or "multiples of 9".
The ancients believed that the above "three people" should try to avoid going out one hour before the beginning of spring, and should be quiet and not moving, and "hide" until an hour after the beginning of spring. This whole process is called "hiding from spring". On February 4th, the beginning of spring is 16:26:53, and the corresponding spring hiding time is 15:26:53-17:26:53.
Like many old customs, there is no scientific truth to speak of, but it is just a way for the ancients to seek spiritual comfort in the face of an uncertain future. The reason why we modern people want to understand these old customs is not to copy and blindly follow, but to understand the good wishes for life in the hearts of the ancients on the basis of understanding.
The first half of the sentence talks about the relationship between the beginning of spring and agricultural production, and the second half of the sentence talks about the old custom of "hiding from spring", which is a part of the folk beliefs that have been inherited from ancient times. In addition, the beginning of the spring solar term also has the customs of biting spring, welcoming spring, stepping on spring, eating spring plates, and beating spring cattle, which contains rich traditional culture. By the way, I would like to remind everyone that the plan of the year lies in the spring, remember to cheer up and move forward, don't live up to the good spring of the year!
