Hi Irons! I would like to tell you about some of our Chinese folk customs, especially today's theme - the seventh day of the fourth month, which is a very particular day, a bit like our saying in the Northeast, "three taboos and two don't do", listen to me slowly give you a stroke. Blessed people, leave a sentence in the comment area: "One shun and one hundred shun, the Bodhisattva blesses", for themselves, for their children, and for the whole family to receive blessings.
Background vignette
First of all, let's understand, what is special about the seventh day of the fourth month? Actually, it's a bit mysterious, what's the point? Because it is said that on this day, the big guy of the Lord of Yama wants to approve the files of our world and check who has any inconsistencies. Therefore, we ordinary people are always cautious on this day, especially the older generation, for fear of causing the displeasure of Lord Hades.
Three taboos
- Don't go out
This taboo, I think the old iron should be able to understand, just like our old saying in the Northeast, "If you don't go out on the seventh day of the first month, you will be able to turn feng shui in a year." Our old family thinks that it is easy to run into Lord Yama's little minions when they go out, which is not very lucky. Therefore, we would rather be tired of being at home than running around this day.
- 不赶集
Catching up with the market is one of the things that we people in the Northeast like, but when it comes to the seventh day of the new year, we have to take it easy. There is a saying in our hometown, "Catch the market on the seventh day of the new year, and be unlucky for a year", we don't want to ruin the good luck of the year because of this little thing.
- Not married
This is also a very interesting taboo. The people in our hometown think that getting married on the seventh day of the new year will make the newlyweds unable to live a good life for the rest of their lives, and we don't want to harm the happiness of the two.
Don't do both
- Don't talk big
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, you have to be honest and don't say anything exaggerated. Our old family thinks that Lord Yama has big ears, so we can't say anything cool and get into trouble.
- Don't quarrel with people
We can't quarrel with anyone on this day, or we'll be guilty of a taboo. Our old family said that the quarrel on the seventh day of the first month would make Lord Hades even more angry, but it would be more than worth the loss.
summary
Let's talk about a very interesting topic today, the folk customs of the seventh day of the fourth month. In fact, these are the traditions left by our ancestors, although they are a bit mysterious, but they are also part of our Chinese culture. Therefore, the old iron must remember these three taboos in the future, so as not to make Lord Hades angry.
See you next time, bye-bye!
