Tomorrow is the ninth day of the third month of the lunar calendar, and it is also one of the Yang Gongji days of the year, a special day. On this day, there are three things that the older generation urged us not to do. It's not just an ordinary day, but one that requires special attention.
In March, spring is getting stronger, and most people are enjoying the warm spring breeze and the beauty of life. At this time of year, there is a special day, and that is the ninth day of the third lunar month, known as Yang Gongji Day, which is one of the thirteen very special days of the year.
Yang Gongji Day was discovered and named by the ancient Kanyu master Yang Yunsong, who, based on his research on astronomy and geography, pointed out that these days were unsuitable for important activities.
On the ninth day of the third month, the elders always remind the young people in their families that, first of all, "no worship" means that this day is not suitable for worship or other religious ceremonies.
Traditionally, Yang Gong's death day itself has an unlucky aura, and activities such as worship may invite unnecessary trouble or adverse effects.
"Don't", here refers specifically to being unfit for a wedding or to say something too arrogant or arrogant. In the eyes of the older generation, the wedding on Yang Gongji's day will not only affect the couple's future quality of life, but may also have a bad impact because of the bad atmosphere on the day.
Arrogant words are more likely to lead to misfortune on this day, which is related to some stories from ancient legends, such as the origin of Yang Gong's death day, which is related to Yang Gong's thirteen sons, who caused trouble because of their careless words.
The "don't" warning is more specific and involves important activities in daily life, such as breaking ground or building a house, which need to be done on a good day.
If these activities are carried out on Yang Gong's death day, it may affect the quality of the building and the future fortune of the family. It is also not a good day for arguments or burial ceremonies, as this may cause more discord and conflict.
The importance of this day lies in the fact that it is not just a day to avoid taboos, but also a day about how to get along with traditional culture.
While many young people in modern society may not live their lives in full accordance with these traditions, it is still important to know and respect them. For those families who still follow these traditions, this day is a sign of respect for the wisdom of their predecessors.
This phenomenon, while perhaps less conspicuous in the hustle and bustle of the city, is a tacit and respectful way of self-evident in many traditional communities. The reminder of the older generation is not only a concern for personal fate, but also a way of cultural inheritance. Through these concrete actions, they hope to pass on this respect and prudence to the next generation.
