"The wisdom of the day, auspiciousness, and good fortune. ”
When we gently turn each page on the calendar, have we ever noticed the important dates marked in red?
In the wisdom of our ancestors, every ordinary day contains a different meaning, that is, "auspicious day of the zodiac", and the tenth day of the third lunar month is marked as "consumption day".
You must know that the tenth day of the third month of this year's lunar calendar coincides with the prelude to the Guyu solar term, and this day is the critical point of this year's wood gas and decay, and the fire is quietly growing.
So, what is so special about this "consuming day" and what are the three no's that it refers to?
The opposition between spending days and making days
The ancients said: "What becomes a day can be a great cause." ”
In folk tradition, Chengri is regarded as the auspicious day of the zodiac, indicating that everything is suitable and everything can be accomplished, such as the "Chengri", "Closing Day" and "Opening Day" in December, which are all considered auspicious days and suitable for various positive activities.
On this day, people usually choose to carry out important activities, such as moving to a new house, opening a business, getting married and having children, etc., in contrast, "the day of the establishment", "the day of the removal", and "the day of the full" are considered to be good days, although they are second-auspicious.
On the other hand, those days that are regarded as evil days, such as "holding the day", "breaking the day", "breaking the day", "closing the day", and "consuming the day", are generally avoided by people to avoid making important decisions.
In the cycle of the four seasons, the consumption of days in each season represents the weakening of the power of the five elements of that season, replaced by the power of the next season.
The wood gas in spring is consumed by the fire gas in summer, and the gold gas in autumn is consumed by the water gas in winter, and so on, especially on the tenth day of the third lunar month, as the last consumption day of spring, it marks the end of wood gas in spring and the rise of fire.
On this day, it is a symbol of spring wood and winter water, and it is also the day of pure water in Renzi, and the formation of the Sanhe Water Bureau seems to be making the final elegy for the exit of wood gas, and it also indicates the revival of water gas.
But after all, the consumption of days is the consumption of days, although the water and gas are revived, but due to the consumption of wood gas in spring, it appears that the power is insufficient, like an excessive day, bringing people from spring to summer.
Compared with the day, it seems a little tragic and helpless, but it is also one of the irresistible laws of nature.
At this time of consumption, people will be more cautious and avoid some activities that are considered unfavorable, such as opening positions, making money, etc., so as not to incur unnecessary losses.
So, what else should we pay attention to in this solar term?
The "inauspiciousness" of time, three do not do
"It's hard to marry a person who is tired of Japan, and it's difficult to spend days seeking money. ”
April 18 of the Gregorian calendar may seem like an ordinary day to you and me, but in the lunar calendar, this day is given more meaning.
The do's and don'ts of consuming the day are actually a reflection of the ancestors' understanding of the laws of nature, and they reminded us through these customs that while enjoying auspicious days, we should also be temperate and conform to nature, so that we can truly usher in a good harvest and auspiciousness.
On this day, people will pay attention to it, and there will also be taboos, pay attention to the opening of a happy life, and taboos are the symbol of bad luck.
In ancient times, the auspiciousness of each day was not determined by "fortune telling", but by the wisdom of the twelve founding stars, these ancient astrologers divided the days into twelve types, of which "consuming days" was among them.
On this special day, people believe that it is better to believe in what is there than to believe in what is not, so it has become a taboo in people's hearts and has been passed down from generation to generation.
Moreover, on this day, people will consciously avoid certain behaviors, such as the word "poor", because saying "poor" on this day may make poverty real, and they will not be able to ask for wealth.
This may seem superstitious, but it is actually a clever use of psychological cues by the ancestors, who believed that positive language could influence the trajectory of an individual's destiny.
"Little Color" and "Little Taboo"
On this day, people seek good luck by eating oranges and dumplings, the "orange" of oranges is a homonym for "cheng" and is seen as a symbol of the fulfillment of wishes, and dumplings, like ingots, which mean good luck.
Therefore, every family will prepare oranges and dumplings, so that the family can taste the food while also feeling the auspicious atmosphere of the festival, pay attention to peace of mind on the day, and do not have quarrels with others.
The Day of the Heavenly Doctor, especially on days like the 10th day of the third month, is considered an auspicious day that is good for health.
On this day, the resurrection of water and qi means the rebirth of losses and gains, and all things have the image of rebirth, so it is considered a good day for health.
Although it is not a good day to seek medical advice, it is also a symbol of stability and tranquility.
This is not only a prayer for good health, but also an expectation for peace of mind, and a profound pursuit of quality of life for the ancients.
Of course, the customs may vary from place to place, but no matter where you are, the "time-consuming day" is seen as a day to avoid luck.
Even in modern society, many people refer to the saying "auspicious day of the zodiac" before making important decisions or activities for a good omen.
The editor has something to say
The tenth day of the first month of March is not only the last day of spring, but also the end of the Qingming solar term.
After this date, the wood gas of spring will completely retire and give way to the "fire energy" of summer, and the Qingming solar term represents new life and hope, and its last day means that these hopes will be realized.
This day seems to tell us that every end is a new beginning, and every change is full of infinite possibilities.
