Next, Lao Du said that the genus is taboo, and the folk saying is simple and mentally retarded, that is, do not slaughter and eat animals that are the same as his own genus. The flesh of this animal is called "the meat of life", and if it is eaten, it will not be possessed by the soul, and at worst, it will invite disasters and cause trouble. In the 12 zodiac signs, only the dragon is very cool, whether you want to eat it or not, no! Zhang Zhongjing, the most outstanding medical scientist in the history of our country, is even more ruthless, and he said in his medical book that not only can he not eat the flesh of his own life, but even those of his parents cannot eat it.

During the Five Dynasties period, there was an emperor named Wang Jian in Former Shu, Sichuan, and when he was seriously ill, the minister paid tribute to him with fresh wild game rabbits, and some ministers said, Your Majesty belongs to the rabbit, and this life meat cannot be eaten. But Wang Jian did not believe this set, and his mouth was hungry, so he died not long after eating the meat of the hare. The deeds of Wang Jian, the founding emperor of the Great Shu Dynasty, who ate the meat of his own life and died, became a lesson for many emperors in later generations, such as the song Huizong's dogs, the imperial court strictly prohibited the killing of dogs, and the Ming Emperor Mingwuzong's pigs banned the private breeding, selling, and killing pigs.

The so-called "Honmei Year" in modern times is much more complicated in ancient times, in addition to the Honmei Year taboo, there are also Honmei Day taboos, Honmei Moon taboos, and even five elements taboos and so on. From today's scientific point of view, it is all nonsense, but in ancient times, when the world outlook of scientific development was relatively backward, this is a major event that cannot be taken lightly. The Eastern Jin Dynasty Taoist theorist, famous alchemist and medicinal scientist Master Ge Hong proposed the five elements of taboos, such as you belong to the earth, then you can not even eat the green pills, because the green belongs to the wood, muke soil. To tell you another interesting truth, the armillary supervisor of the Tang Dynasty Wu Zetian period was called Shang Xianfu, whose official position was equivalent to today's Director of the National Astronomical Observatory and Director of the National Earthquake Administration. One day, he proposed his resignation to Wu Zetian, and the empress was puzzled and asked him why? Shang Xianfu said that recently I have observed several stars belonging to fire, and the five elements of my life are gold and fire. Wu Zetian listened, knowing that Shang Xianfu was afraid of being ketted, I will arrange a job for you that is not ke, and transfer him to be a lieutenant of Shui Heng, aren't you a five-element gold? Gold can produce water, so you must be able to manage it. Unexpectedly, Shang Xianfu died less than half a year after he took office, and it turned out that if he was born too much, he would also die of injury.

What is the taboo of this life day? In ancient times, the common people attached great importance to the day of the life, and all the unlucky things had to avoid the day of the life. The southern Song Dynasty historical records that ordinary people would release their lives and eat vegetarian food on their own life day. On this day, men and women cannot do sexual intercourse. Ordinary people do this, the emperor pays more attention, such as the Yuan Dynasty, the emperor is amplified on the day of the day, do not have to go to the dynasty to deal with state affairs, but also can not be idle, have to follow the monks to the temple to pray for the emperor. The Ming Dynasty stipulated that the original life day was the death day of an official's appointment.

Finally, let's look at the taboo of the honmei year, in ancient times, there were very few people who could live the honmei year, because the honmei year at that time referred to the year of birth that was the same as the year of birth, that is, 60 years old. Ancient people have a short life span, and they can live to the age of 60 years, how many do you say? To the Qing Dynasty. The year of honmei is the same as today, twelve years of reincarnation, and when it comes to the year of one's own belonging, it is the year of honmei. For example, the Shunzhi Emperor issued an edict in November of the seventeenth year of Shunzhi, saying that next year is the year of the empress dowager's life, and we should celebrate with the whole world and pardon the world. The next year referred to here, that is, the eighteenth year of Shunzhi and the forty-eighth birthday of the empress dowager, which is what we often say is the year of life when it is time to wear red pants.

Lao Du used two issues of the text to say the year of life, a friend wants to ask, we met the year of life, what to do? Lao Du told the truth, if you want to do it, you have to pay attention to a little, wearing a pair of red pants is also good, you don't take it seriously, it really has nothing to do.
