Waxing Moon is the December of the lunar calendar and is also the most important month of the year. This year's Waxing Moon will also slowly walk towards us with the departure of 2021.
We have known since childhood that the Waxing Moon before the Spring Festival is the busiest time. So, why is the December of the lunar calendar also known as the Waxing Moon?
In fact, this is related to folk sacrifices, ancient people mainly based on agriculture, in order to pray for the wind and rain, people will carry out four relatively large sacrifices in the four seasons. The winter festival is the largest and most solemn of the year. The ancients gave the winter sacrifice a name "La", and the ancients believed that "the waxer, the hunter, the field hunting the beast sacrifice ancestors also." Because the winter festival is held in the december of the lunar calendar, people call it the "Wax Moon".
In the folk, because the waxing moon is the last month of the year, in the eyes of the ancestors this is an important day to resign the old and welcome the new, so the entire waxing moon and the first month are very important, and there are many exquisite and rules that come from it, and the so-called "waxing moon taboo tail, new moon taboo head" is so.
In addition, the folk also believe that when the wax moon tries not to go out, the folk have "the wax moon goes out, the gods and immortals suffer", on the one hand, because the wax moon is cold and frozen, not suitable for long journeys, on the other hand, it is also because the wax moon is the month of sacrifice, but also the most important day of the year, naturally at home to prepare for reunion, sacrifice.
There are many more folk pay attention to the Wax Moon, one of which is that the folk often say that "good men do not earn money in the Wax Moon." What exactly does this sentence mean?
In fact, it is also simple, in ancient times, the waxing moon is the season of agricultural leisure, for most people, this time only need to use the grain and goods saved in a year at home, in order to buy New Year goods, prepare for the festival.
But if you say that people who are still trying to make money in the waxing moon, in the eyes of the old ancestors, they have not worked well for a year, served the fields, and finally the harvest is not good, and when it comes to the cold winter waxing moon, they still need to make money again.
There is a similar saying in the folk, that is, "play the first month, play February, make money can not rely on December", the December here refers not to the December of the Gregorian calendar, but to the December of the lunar calendar.
The reason why the old ancestor said this sentence is also because whether it is the waxing moon or the first month of the lunar calendar, or even February, it is not a good time to make money. First of all, speaking of waxing moon, ancient people often prepared a lot of winter things before the arrival of winter, and even clothes and food for the New Year, so although people will buy New Year goods in the waxing moon, for some goods, the deep meaning of December is not easy to do. This is especially true in the first month and February.
However, there is also a folk saying of "losing August, earning wax month", the reason why this sentence is contrary to "making money can not rely on December", in fact, it is caused by different commodities.
Similar to this sentence, the folk also have "golden wax moon, silver winter month". The winter month is the November of the lunar calendar. This sentence also means that the waxing moon of the year is a good time for people to make money, because everyone has to spend money to buy New Year goods.
But "golden wax moon, silver winter month", in fact, there is another saying, that is, wax moon and winter moon, is the two months that people consume relatively large, on the one hand, to prepare for the winter, on the other hand, it is natural to prepare for the New Year.
The Wax Moon is coming, followed by the most grand festival of the year, "Spring Festival", so whether it is "good people do not earn Wax Moon money", or "Golden Wax Moon, Silver Winter Moon", or "Making Money Can Not Rely on December", do not affect our good mood for the New Year.
