Introduction: May is called the poisonous month, the rural proverb "May does not build a house, June does not move", is it reasonable?
The lunar month of May is getting closer and closer, the arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival will also usher in a three-day small holiday, the countryside loves to call the lunar month of May as a poisonous month, there are also said to be called evil months. Some people think that the reason why May is called the poisonous month is because after the Dragon Boat Festival, poisonous insects began to rage, as the saying goes: Dragon Boat Festival, five poisonous awakenings, restlessness. There are also different views on the perception of the five poisons.
Tradition believes that the five poisons include: poisonous snakes, toads, scorpions, centipedes and geckos, these five poisons after the Dragon Boat Festival, began to appear frequently, and later because of the influence of martial arts novels, the five poisons are considered: poisonous snakes, scorpions, centipedes, toads and spiders, the gecko was removed, and a spider was added, presumably because the gecko was less poisonous and more mild, not in line with the fierce name of the five poisons. In addition to the common five poisons, the number of various poisonous insects increased significantly after the Dragon Boat Festival, so May was called the poisonous month.
There is also a theory that the poisonous moon actually has nothing to do with poisonous insects. Rather, it is from the Master of Printing Light. The fifth month of the lunar calendar is the month of poison. Among them, the first five, the sixth, the seventh, fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth and the second five, twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh days of the first month of May are the "Nine Poison Days of Heaven and Earth Jiaotai"; "Fourteen" is the Day of Heaven and Earth Jiaotai, a total of ten days. The Dragon Boat Festival is the most toxic at the beginning of the Nine Poison Days. Therefore, the folk Dragon Boat Festival will have a lot of customs, through some customs and habits to reduce and avoid the toxicity of the Dragon Boat Festival. Common ones are drinking male yellow wine, eating rice dumplings, inserting wormwood, etc., which have a good improvement effect.
There are many customs and habits of the Dragon Boat Festival and May, and many of them are still used today, including the saying: no houses are built in May, and no houses are moved in June. It means that it is not suitable to build a house in may of the lunar calendar, and it is not suitable to move in June of the lunar calendar. What's the point?
May does not build a house; in May of the lunar calendar, it is during the mango planting period, and the mango seed is also called to be busy both harvesting and busy planting, so the countryside is a busy scene, and the saying goes, such a busy scene is called: mango seed mango seed, do not speak when you meet your relatives. It means that there is a lot of farm work, and there is no time to stop, even if you meet your relatives when you walk. It is also impossible to take care of nagging, which also shows that the work intensity of the Mangzhong period is very large.
In the past, many times to repair houses and build houses were to find relatives and friends to come to help, in the past, unlike now, almost all of them went out to work, and in the past, rural farming was the mainstay, and there were very few things after farming, so they would take advantage of the busy time of farming. Go to relatives and friends to help repair the house and build a house. The premise is that when the farm is idle, there is definitely no time in may of the lunar calendar, and this time needs to be busy in the farmland. Therefore, from the perspective of manpower, the fifth month of the lunar calendar is not suitable for repairing houses and building houses.
May is a bad month is not suitable for repairing houses and building houses; according to folk legend, in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, yin and yang are gushing out, and various toxins and so on gradually begin to run rampant, so it also becomes a bad month. The yang begins to spread as the temperature rises, and the underground coolness begins to evaporate before it rises, so there are often hot and cold weather in May. Sometimes the heat can't stand it, and sometimes it feels very cold. Such a temperature environment is not suitable for repairing houses and building houses, which will lead to unstable aura of houses. So it became a custom that no houses were built in May.
