In the blink of an eye, the beginning of April came to an end, which happened to be the beginning of the third month of the lunar calendar, that is, the beginning of the third month of spring. And at this time, the day that has not been encountered in 60 years is about to appear, that is, the "Year of the Dragon, the Dragon Moon, the Dragon Day, the Dragon Hour".
It is understood that on April 10, the mainland will usher in the first "Year of the Dragon, Dragon Moon, Dragon Day, Dragon Hour" this year. And there will be two more on April 22 and May 4. So what is the Year of the Dragon, the Dragon Moon, the Dragon Day, and the Dragon Hour? What is the significance of such a day? What should we pay attention to? Next, let's take a look at the "Dragon Auspicious Day" in the eyes of the ancients.
01. Year of the Dragon, Dragon Moon, Dragon Day, Dragon Time
In ancient times, people often used the Ganzhi discipline and the zodiac discipline method to record the year, month, and day, which is the so-called lunar calendar. The lunar calendar, in essence, is a lunisolar calendar, which requires not only the change cycle of the moon, but also the turnover of the 24 solar terms and the sun to determine the date. Moreover, the lunar calendar integrates the wisdom of astronomy, meteorology, agriculture and other aspects, reflecting the deep understanding and application of natural laws by the ancients, and greatly helping the Chinese working people to cultivate.
In addition, the lunar calendar also contains a lot of rich information, such as solar terms, genera and so on, which not only provides guidance for agricultural activities, but is also closely related to the fate of people.
It can be said that the lunar calendar contains the celestial expression of the ancients on the temporal attributes of life. This is also the reason why there is a "Year of the Dragon, the Dragon Moon, the Dragon Day, and the Dragon Hour".
According to the lunar calendar, this year belongs to the year of the dragon, and the third month of the lunar calendar happens to be the month of the dragon in the twelve earthly branches, so there is the saying of "the year of the dragon and the month of the dragon".
And because in the Sexagenary Cycle Method, there will be a chen day every 12 days, and the second day of the third month is exactly the chen day, so the 14th and 26th of March are both chen days, so that the "dragon year, dragon month, dragon day" appeared.
In addition, the ancient mainland also used the Ganzhi time, that is, the 12 hours of day and night corresponded to the zodiac, which was converted to 24 o'clock a day, which is the corresponding 2 hours of each genus, the sub-time was 23 o'clock to 1 o'clock, and the hour time was 7 o'clock to 9 o'clock. In this way, the "Year of the Dragon, the Dragon Moon, the Dragon Day, and the Dragon Hour" are completely presented in front of people's eyes.
The specific times are as follows: April 10, April 22, and May 4, 2024, from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., a total of three.
02. Do 3 things well: every household is blessed
The year, the month, the day, belong to the four chens. According to folk sayings, it is this day when the yang energy is particularly vigorous, and even has abundant and untouchable energy. To this end, you need to do the following three things to ensure that your family is blessed all year round.
First things first: worship. The so-called worship is to worship the dragon. The dragon has been a symbol of the emperor since ancient times, and it is a totem in the eyes of the ancients, and is considered a sacred existence by the people, with great power, often representing auspiciousness. In addition, worshipping the dragon can protect the family from disasters, and at the same time, it can also ensure that the crops are in good condition and the harvest is abundant.
The second thing: pray for blessings. Prayer means praying for peace and good luck. For the day of "the gathering of the four dragons", it is often called an auspicious day by the ancients, which is especially suitable for praying for blessings and wishes, because it is easy to achieve. For this reason, every family can pray for their family blessings, such as health, wealth, peach blossom luck, etc.
The third thing: don't argue. This time period is the time when the yang energy is the most vigorous, and quarrels at this time will cause things to become bigger, and even out of control, especially quarrels between husband and wife, which can easily lead to family breakdown, and quarrels with outsiders at this time are also easy to ruin. For this reason, we should pay attention to controlling our emotions, avoid quarrels, and let ourselves and our families spend the "Longji Day" in peace.
In addition to that, remember to lie down at night and get up early on this day. The so-called night bed and early wake up refers to going to bed later and getting up earlier. Because this day belongs to the day of vigorous yang, and it is the spring season, the time when yang energy is generated, so people's energy will also be relatively strong, in order to adapt to the changes in nature, it is necessary to go to bed late and get up early, in order to keep the qi and blood in the body normal, so that the body remains healthy. Of course, it is not after the hour to go to bed at night, but to go to bed at the end of the day, that is, before 11 o'clock at night.
In short, tomorrow will usher in the first "Year of the Dragon", and it is recommended that everyone follow the tradition and let yourself pray for success and blessings throughout the year in the "Dragon Auspicious Day".
Well, that's all for what I'm telling you today about "Year of the Dragon, Dragon Moon, Dragon Day, Dragon Hour". In other words, are you ready for this day? Do you think what the ancients said makes sense? You can leave a message, comment, and tell everyone what you think about it.
