Tomorrow, the twenty-ninth day of March, is the last day of the lunar calendar, and it is also the obscure day of March, so what do the people say about such a day? Or what are the characteristics of this day? The old man said, "Don't do three things in vain," which three things? Don't be ignorant of the rules!
A feature of the obscure sun?
The saying of obscure day comes from the lunar calendar, because it is formulated according to the moon's orbit around the earth, and every time the moon goes around the middle of the sun and the earth, it is a new moon, and between the two new moons is a month, which takes twenty-nine and a half days, and half a day is added up, so that there is a division between the big month and the small month, the big month is 30 days, and the small month is 29 days.
In this year's Jiachen year, March is a small month, and there are only 29 days, so it is the obscure day of March. In the old days, it referred to an unlucky day, which meant that it was not smooth and unsatisfactory. Therefore, in ancient times, activities were held on this day to ward off evil spirits, avoid disasters, and pray for blessings, hoping that everything would go smoothly in the coming days.
The Tang poet Jia Dao has a famous poem "March Dawn Day Gift to Liu Pingshi": "March is the thirtieth day, and the scenery is not my bitter body." Gongjun doesn't need to sleep tonight, and it's still spring before dawn. "The day of obscurity at this time is the 30th of March.
The "March Day", the last day of March in late spring, is the end of the day, which means that the season has entered the summer. The sadness of spring is self-evident for people with keen emotions. This poem also shows a strong sentiment of cherishing spring, and the poet expresses his feelings about the passing of spring through discussion.
Three things don't do a void, which three things?
At the same time, people in the old days believed that the obscure day was also the end of the moon, this time was the last moment of the moon's rotation, and it was also the place where the bad luck gathered, and the god of the stove would also go to heaven on this day, so it was necessary to do three things well, and I hope that it can go smoothly in the future.
