"My father gave birth to me, and my mother bowed to me. Pick me up and raise me, take care of me and return me", time flies so fast, tomorrow is the weekend, everyone can have a good rest, according to the regulations, the second Sunday of May in the solar calendar every year is Mother's Day, and this year's Mother's Day is on May 12, that is, the Sunday of this week, so are you ready to spend this special holiday with your mother?
Mother's Day actually originated in the United States, initiated by a person named Anna Marie Jarvis, she never got married in her life, in order to always accompany her mother, after the death of her mother, she wanted to create a holiday for the mothers who made contributions in obscurity, and finally, with her efforts, the United States Congress officially designated the second Sunday of May every year as Mother's Day in 1914 to thank mothers for their contributions to society and families.
In fact, far beyond the United States, we also have our own "Mother's Day" in China, that is, the second day of the fourth lunar month every year, which is also the birthday of Mencius, a famous thinker and educator in the mainland, Mencius's mother made a huge contribution after Mencius was born, this kind of selfless dedication, the spirit of silent dedication makes people very moved, this is also a true portrayal of maternal love, so in order to commemorate the greatness and selflessness of maternal love, the ancients set the second day of April as "Mother's Day", which is also the mainland's own Mother's Day.
This year's Mother's Day is not ordinary, it is an "auspicious day", tomorrow May 12 is also the fifth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, this day is a "dangerous day" according to the mainland's auspicious culture, although the name carries "dangerous", but this is an auspicious day of the zodiac, and it is also a day without taboos, so this year's Mother's Day is a "dangerous day", which can be said to be a very auspicious day, wishing the mothers of the whole world good health, health and longevity.
What is a "Dangerous Day"? Why is it said to be an "auspicious day of the zodiac"?
From ancient times to the present, people like to look at the days before doing some big things, which is also called the auspicious culture, and "looking at the days" is actually looking at the "twelve days" in the old calendar, which is also one of the most common ways to see the days.
The Twelve Days of Destruction is also known as the Twelve Gods. According to folk beliefs, there are 12 gods who will rotate every day, and these 12 gods are: building, eliminating, full, leveling, fixing, persistent, breaking, dangerous, successing, harvesting, opening and closing. And the days of their rotation are also named after them, the twelve days are a cycle, and the cycle repeats itself, and the "danger day" is the eighth day of the twelve days of the establishment and removal.
If you want to determine which of the twelve days of this day is built, you can look at the old calendar (yellow calendar), and you can also calculate through the method, first we need to determine the earthly branch of the month, and then find out the corresponding day and earthly branch of the month, and this day is the day of "building", for example, the fourth month of the lunar calendar this year is the "self-si" month, and its earthly branch is "si", so we only need to find out the corresponding "si", and then calculate the future days in order, and the fifth day of the fourth month is the "dangerous day".
There is yin and yang in the world, and all things have two instruments and four images, and these twelve days are no exception, which can be divided into two categories: "auspicious days of the zodiac" and "fierce days of the underworld". It can be used when it is opened, but it cannot be broken", we can understand:
The six days of "building, full, flattening, receiving, closing, and breaking" are "black", that is, "the fierce days of the underworld", and the six days of "elimination, danger, determination, execution, success, and opening" are "yellow", that is, "auspicious days of the zodiac", which is a day without taboos.
Tomorrow is Mother's Day, which coincides with the zodiac day of "Danger Day", so remind everyone to prepare 3 things in advance to bless your mother with good health, happiness, health and longevity.
1. Don't forget to "call your mother"
This is mainly for the wanderers who are far away, people often have to go to a foreign land in order to live, and they can't go home a few times a year, that is, they can only go home during the "Spring Festival" and "National Day" holidays with long holidays, and often the mother will miss silently, they will not call every day, but the love for their children in their hearts is stronger.
"Tiger poison does not eat children", mothers are often very worried about their children far away, worried about whether they are full, safe, there is nothing to do, etc., these thoughts are the mother's love for the child, so on Mother's Day, we had better take the initiative to report peace to the mother, which is also the best gift for Mother's Day, after all, the inner emotion is more simple than the external material.
2. Don't forget to "go out and play"
If friends who are at home on the fifth day of the fourth month of April, you can take your mother out for a walk, don't say that life is stressful and there is no money to take your mother out, this is all an excuse, it doesn't cost much to go around at all, the meaning of the so-called "filial piety" is to make the old man "laugh", and it has nothing to do with material, even if you go to the local free park for a walk, your mother will be very happy.
According to folk beliefs, the fifth day of the fourth lunar month is the "dangerous day", and the "danger" in this day may make everyone think of danger, but in the twelfth day of the construction and removal, the "dangerous day" is the day of "being prepared for danger in times of peace", reminding us that this is a good day, but everyone should also pay attention to safety, so it is a good choice to go out for a walk on this good day and take your mother out for a day.
3. Don't forget to "keep your mouth shut"
On Mother's Day, many people will choose to take their mothers out to eat a delicious meal, but it is not that they will eat what is good or expensive, the elderly generally have gastrointestinal peristalsis and degeneration, so we must pay attention to diet, so we must choose carefully in terms of eating, which is also a way to be grateful for mother's love.
As the old saying goes, "then eat from time to time", that is to say, you can take the elderly to eat some seasonal food, it is now the fourth month of the lunar calendar, it is the beginning of summer and March and midsummer, so you should choose some seasonal food in summer, the elderly can also digest better, as long as you are attentive, the old people will be happy, really not good, expensive, even if you don't go out to eat, it is very meaningful to cook a meal for the elderly in person.
"The love of the son is endless, and the return home is happy", this is also the most true idea of all mothers, so maternal love is silent, always silently paying, and tomorrow, the fifth day of April, is not only Mother's Day, but also a "dangerous day",
