In traditional folklore, when you come to beginning of spring, you should avoid spring. Because the climate in beginning of spring has begun to change, the new aura will have a negative impact on some people, and more importantly, it will affect the luck of a year, so the custom of hiding from spring has emerged. In the folk, different places have different customs and taboos, which also extends a variety of methods and customs to avoid spring.
The Historical Origin of beginning of spring
Beginning of spring was interpreted as: "The foundation has also been established. Spring began and was established. " The poem "beginning of spring" says: "The east wind brings rain to drive the west wind, and the earth is sunny and warm. Twenty-four solar terms: "beginning of spring, solar terms in the first month; Stand still, build the beginning; The five elements of qi continue here; And the qi of Chunmu begins, so it stands; Long summer, autumn and winter are the same. " ?
Beginning of spring is not only the first of the 24 solar terms, but also an important festival. Beginning of spring is the first of the 24 solar terms, so the ancient folks celebrated the festival on "beginning of spring", which is equivalent to the modern "Spring Festival", and the first day of the first lunar month is called New Year's Day. 19 13 (in the second year of the Republic of China), Yuan Shikai proposed that the first day of the lunar new year should be the Spring Festival, which would be implemented the following year (19 14).
Since then, the beginning of the summer calendar has been called the Spring Festival, which has continued to this day. Therefore, the zodiac should be calculated from beginning of spring, and the zodiac should be determined based on beginning of spring, not the first day of the first month. The "beginning of spring" day on 20 10 is before the Spring Festival, so the year of the tiger is called "the year without spring". Spring is the dividing point between the two genera.
