The Chinese New Year begins at the beginning of the first month, the month before the first month, and the last month of the old year. As the saying goes: When you enter the Layue Gate, it will be the year in a blink of an eye. After entering the wax moon, there is less than 1 month left before the Chinese New Year.
In this special lunar month, there are many folk Xi and exquisite. For example, in our place, there is a saying that "if you don't do it on the 4th day of the lunar month, the family is prosperous", which means that after entering the lunar month, there are 4 things that are best not to do, so that the family business is prosperous and the people are also prosperous.
Below, let's take a look at what 4 don't do?
"Don't do it on the 4th day of the lunar month", what 4 things do you refer to?
1. Immovable soil
The wax moon is the last month of the lunar year, and there is a "wax moon does not move the soil" in the folk, which means that after entering the wax moon, if you plan to start building a house, you can postpone the time.
According to the ancients, the coldest days of the year, the 39th and 49th days of the year, are basically during the lunar month, which is also the coldest month of the year. Breaking ground to build a house should wait for the weather to warm up before starting, which has the implication of breaking ground on the day of prosperity and prospering people.
From the perspective of modern people to interpret this Xi custom, the wax moon came to the end of the year, the weather is relatively cold, at this time to build a house, the foundation is not easy to lay solid, and after the warming, it may sink. In addition, the Chinese New Year is approaching, the labor cost is also relatively high, and the progress of building a house will be delayed because of the Spring Festival holiday, so it is recommended that the soil not be touched in the lunar month.
II. Random Speech
I remember when I was a child, every year when the wax moon was approaching, the elders in the family would repeatedly tell me that the New Year was coming soon, and I should pay attention to what I said to ask for a good speech for the new year. In the eyes of the older generation, the words spoken in the New Year's Eve symbolize blessings and hints for the new year.
From the perspective of modern people, to interpret this Xi, disease comes from the mouth, disaster comes from the mouth, words are like a knife, do not need to hurt people easily. When the Chinese New Year is approaching, scolding, frustrating, and boring words, try not to say it, pay attention to the way of expression, and don't talk nonsense. People who know language arts are usually more popular in relationships, and work and life will naturally go more and more smoothly.
3. Not engaged
There are four happy events in life: one is a long drought and a rainy day, the second is to meet old acquaintances in a foreign country, the third is the night of candles in the cave room, and the fourth is the title of the gold list. From this old saying, it can be seen that marriage is one of the most important events in life.
From ancient times to the present, every ceremony related to marriage, people will choose an auspicious day to carry out, hoping that the future life of the newlyweds will be safe and smooth. Engagement, as one of the traditional wedding ceremonies, naturally follows this. As the old saying goes, if you don't get engaged in the lunar month, you won't get married in the first month. When the ancients held ceremonies related to marriage, they usually deliberately avoided the wax moon and the first lunar month.
From the perspective of modern people, to interpret this Xi custom, entering the wax moon is the end of the year, everyone is busy, ready to end the year, and is also preparing for the New Year. If you are married at this time, you will inevitably invite relatives and friends to participate, which will inevitably bring a lot of inconvenience. From this standpoint, it is understandable.
Fourth, do not owe money
The ancients called this period of wax moon "New Year's Pass", and the reason why it is said that the New Year's Pass is difficult is because you must settle your debts at this time and don't owe others money, which feels the same as passing the pass.
The Xi of not owing money in the month has continued from ancient times to the present, and many people are trying to pay off their arrears before the New Year, so as not to cause inconvenience to creditors, and at the same time hope that the new year will have a new beginning.
From the perspective of modern people to interpret this Xi, at the end of the year, everyone needs to use money, try not to borrow money, if there is arrears before, try to pay it off, after all, "there is borrowing and repaying, and it is not difficult to borrow again", the basic human feelings still have to be understood.
After entering the wax moon, the flavor of the New Year will become stronger and stronger, and the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon will also enter the countdown. In this special month, there are also many important traditional festivals, such as the eighth day of the lunar month, the "Laba Festival", the twenty-third and fourth "small years", and the last day of the lunar month, Chinese New Year's Eve, and so on.
