2024 Chinese New Year outlook
I am walking in the ruins of the code word Jun, the light rain in the sky street is as moist as a crisp, the grass is close but no, today is the sting of the twenty-four solar terms, Beijing has also had a long time of sleet, snow in the air, rain on the ground, stinging spring thunder, all things are born, ** began to appear.
Today is still the twenty-fifth day of the first month of the year of the dragon of Jiachen, the legend is that this day is the birthday of the prince of Cang, called the cang-filling festival, is a Chinese folk festival that symbolizes the harvest of the five grains in the New Year, the miscellaneous notes compiled by Pan Rong's majesty in the Qing Dynasty "Jisheng in the year of Dijing" contains: the twenty-fifth day is the cang-filling festival. In some places, on the day of the Tiancang Festival, grain will be symbolically added to the granary, and in other places, spring cakes, pancakes and dumplings will be eaten on the day of the Tiancang Festival, and these foods will be put into the granary, which is called filling the warehouse and adding the warehouse.
So I chose this date to see the National Museum of Natural History's special exhibition on the Year of the Dragon (in fact, I couldn't get tickets before), this exhibition ended on March 10, and the next day was the second day of the second lunar month. This "dragon" refers to the seven Nakshatras of the Eastern Canglong in the Twenty-Eight Nakshatras, and at the beginning of each year's mid-spring moon (Dou refers to the east), the dragon horn star rises from the eastern horizon, called "the dragon raises its head".
This exhibition at the National Museum of Natural History exhibits dinosaur fossils instead of dragons, including Hu's Guizhou Dragon, Gu's Microraptor, Darwin's Pterodactyl, Lama Cave Dusk Pterodactyl, Dong's Chinese Pterodactyl, Strange Liaoning Dragon, Rehe Dragon, Chinese Hunting Dragon, Narrow-winged Ichthyosaurus, Jialing Yuechi Footprints, and gold eagle specimens.
Spring is in full bloom, and after seeing the dragon in the museum, you can go out.
