When Leng Zixing gave a speech on Rong Guofu in the dream of the Red Chamber for the second time, when he said yuanchun, "The second child of the political father gave birth to a daughter, born on the first day of the New Year, which is strange", why did Leng Zixing say strange? The first day of the Lunar New Year is the beginning of the year, the first New Year's Day, and also a grand traditional festival in China. If birthdays and traditional festivals happen to coincide, it is a very festive thing. At the same time, we folk spread the saying "the fifteenth official of the first year of the first year", and Yuan Chun was just elected to the palace, and there was a hope of being a lady in the future, which confirmed this saying in her, so Leng Zixing was surprised.
About the "first year of the first year of the mother of the fifteen officials" is a folk saying spread in the mainland, for the birthday since ancient times people have their own cognition, think that everything has a fixed number, for the date of birth always feel that there is a mysterious force has long been arranged everything, and born on a more peculiar day, there will be a different future. Although the current scientific system has been well developed, these folk sayings will still be talked about.
The first day of the Chinese New Year has been highly valued since ancient times. In the Book of Rites and The Order of the Moon, it is said: "The sun is poorer than the second, the moon is poor in the age, and the stars return to the sky." The number will end, the years will begin. Folklore also believes that the first day of the first year is the day when the purple micro star is under the earth, which will bring good luck to people.
Then the "niangniang of the first year" of the first year of the first year means that if the girl is born on the first day of the New Year, she can enjoy the glory and wealth in her life. After all, in the past, productivity was low, people were relatively poor, and only during the Spring Festival could they rest and celebrate the National Day, so that they had the opportunity to eat things that they could not eat normally. After the marriage, on the second day of the first month of the first month, when the girl returns to her mother's home, she will also receive warm and solemn hospitality from her mother's family. At that level of cognition, a girl entering the palace as a bridesmaid is only a symbolic statement, which means that the girl born on this day is the life of a bridesmaid, and she will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.
Our tradition attaches importance to the first day of the first year as well as the fifteenth, the fifteenth day of the first month is the first full moon night of the year, and since ancient times there has been the custom of watching the lanterns and praying for blessings. In folklore, fifteen is the day when the stars of Wenqu are mortal, and the folk custom of "fifteen officials" also implies people's good wishes, which means that boys born on the fifteenth day of the first month can become officials when they grow up, and in the simple cognition of the ancients, being an official is a major event in the glorious court.
The fifteenth official of the first year of the first year is the ancient people's good wishes and good wishes for the next generation, although it has not been the same for many years, there are subjective colors, but in the countryside, especially some elderly people who are older, most of them still know this saying.
About the origin of this saying, because it is derived from the folk, so there is no relevant literature, in the dream of the Red Chamber, that is, Yuan Chun was born on the first day of the first month of the first month, just entered the palace as a mother," this Dream of the Red Chamber is only a literary work, can not be seen as a historical truth. In the dream of the Red Chamber, Yuan Chun's inexplicable death, and her final entry into the Bo Life Division, her verdict does not show that she can enjoy great wealth and nobility.
This colloquialism is only a part of folk culture that is limited by the level of cognition at that time and has no scientific basis.
