Do I have to wear red underwear this animal year?

The birth year related to 12 earth branch is the lunar year, which is usually called the zodiac year. For example, people born in the Year of the Monkey were born in Shen Nian. In traditional customs, the Year of the Animal is usually considered as an unlucky year. The folk song "Tai sui commits the year of birth, Tai sui takes the lead." Without happiness, there will be disaster "is the best portrayal of the unlucky year of birth." Therefore, people usually refer to the "year of birth" as the "year of threshold", that is, spending the year of birth is like stepping into a threshold. In the northern Han area, every year, no matter adults or children, they should buy a red belt, commonly known as "tying red", and children should wear red socks and red shorts (commonly known as "the third year of the animal year"), which is considered to be the only way to avoid disasters. This custom is still popular everywhere today. During the Spring Festival, red and yellow ribbons of "auspicious belt" and "auspicious knot" are sold everywhere in the market. People in the Year of the Animal tie them around their waists and wrists, which can eliminate disasters and turn evil into good.

However, it is worth noting that it is generally believed that the first day of the first lunar month is the beginning of a new year, and it is wrong to calculate the year of birth. For the zodiac year, the beginning of spring in 24 solar terms shall prevail.

In China, it is customary to remember the year of birth with the zodiac, which is repeated every 60 years. If the person born in the year after next is a mouse, the year after next is the year of this person's birth.

[Edit this paragraph] The origin of the animal year

The word "animal year" can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty, and originated from China's zodiac and "red worship" mentality. In ancient China, people used the combination of heavenly stems and earthly branches, such as A, B, C, D, Zi Chou and Yin Mao, to remember the year of birth. In order to facilitate memory and calculation, people use twelve kinds of animals, such as rats and cows, to correspond to the twelve earthly branches, and one of them is used as a year's zodiac every year. The birth year of the Han nationality is put forward according to the cycle of the zodiac, which is closely related to the zodiac. When a person is born in the lunar calendar, then every year of this zodiac will be the year of his birth. Because of the cycle of the zodiac, every 12 years, people will meet their own birth years and introduce them in turn. The birth years of life are 12 years old, 24 years old, 36 years old, 48 years old and 60 years old respectively. Many ethnic groups in our country have the custom of attaching importance to the 60th birthday of the elderly, commonly known as "flower armor". Hua Jia is the fifth animal year in a person's life, and it is also the reincarnation of a dry year. We should celebrate it well to express people's desire for longevity, health and auspiciousness.

[Edit this paragraph] Animal year taboo

The Year of the Animal has a wide influence among the people. In north and south folk customs, there is a tradition of hanging red in the animal year to avoid evil and disaster. So people especially love red in every animal year. The emphasis on red in the animal year should come from the worship of red in the traditional culture of Han nationality in China. The concept of red to ward off evil spirits and red auspiciousness has existed since primitive society. Red is the color of the sun, blood and fire. With the changes of the times, this thought of respecting red has not changed. Red couplets, red wedding dresses, red hijabs, red candles, new family red lists for old weddings of Han people, and so on. Whenever and wherever, people should use red to add joy. Han people regard red as a symbol of happiness, success, loyalty and justice, especially red has the function of exorcising evil spirits and protecting the body. Therefore, on New Year's Eve, people put on red underwear early, or wear red belts and some accessories tied with red silk to welcome their birth year. It is believed that only in this way can we avoid disasters. These red things that ward off evil spirits in this animal year are what people often say, "this life is red."

People also have the custom of offering sacrifices to the "god of life" in the year of the zodiac in order to prolong life. The god's view of the core monument of life comes from Taoism. Taoism has absorbed the popular saying of "the stone tablet of life" and put forward the theories of "the stone tablet of life", "the year of birth" and "the year of birth". Anyone born at the age of 60 is called the core monument of life. Chen Yuan, also known as the animal year. As a local religion in China, Taoism has a natural kinship with heavenly stems and earthly branches and the Chinese Zodiac. As for the core monuments of the God of Life, some places are called "Ming Shou Xing Jun" and some places are called "Chen Yuan", which are collectively referred to as the God of Sixty Children. People born in different years within 60 years, headed by Jiazi Year, can find their own core monument. For example, Yue Fei, a national hero, was born in A.D. 1 103, and the core monument of his life was named "General Wei Rener, not yet mature". Taoism believes that if Chen Yuan is enshrined in the core monument of life, and Chen Yuan is enshrined in the core monument of life in the animal year or the normal year, it will eliminate disasters and gain happiness, which has become a custom that has been passed down to this day.

The animal year should be counted from the first day of the first month. It's very lucky for the big tiger who passed the animal year of 20 10 to have a good animal year next year. If we grasp it well, everything will be smooth and there will be new development. However, although it is an auspicious animal year, don't forget not only to wear red underwear, but also to tie a red rope if it is convenient. Can be tied to the wrist, neck and waist according to personal preferences and habits. Generally, you don't wear a red rope. You can wear it all year round until the New Year comes. Jade ornaments or gold ornaments can be hung on the rope. It is especially important to remember that red underwear must be given by others, because it is said that if you buy it yourself, it will lose the effect of ward off evil spirits. Also, put on the red insole (step on the human villain) and let good luck start from the first step, the first step!

There is a folk saying that it is not good to get married in the animal year (Kaner year) and that it is the 12-year cycle of human destiny. From the end of the Han Dynasty to the present, "wormwood leaves" have been put in dowry to ward off evil spirits and pray for happiness, peace, auspiciousness and eternity.

[Edit this paragraph] Other statements of the animal year

The saying about "Year of the Animal" is not unique to the Han nationality, in fact, there are similar sayings among some ethnic minorities in China. As the old Tibetan saying goes, everyone has a bad day and a good day, which is calculated by birth. People think that every earthly branch of the Tibetan calendar ends, and the second earthly branch begins with a "flower" (meaning a hurdle, that is, a bad year), so everyone's 13 years old, 25 years old and 37 years old (and so on) are forbidden to go out and contact with the same students. Read more scriptures, Dobusch, to avoid disaster. For the Khitan minority in China, the custom of "Year of the Animal" was originally the custom of the Khitan people to celebrate their birth. In the Liao Dynasty, celebrating the "Animal Year" was also called a rebirth ceremony or a re-birthday ceremony, because in the Liao Dynasty, the year of 12 was already used, and the zodiac was reincarnated every 12. Speaking of the year when everyone was born, a ceremony will be held to commemorate his birth and repay his mother's kindness.

Generally speaking, this animal year is a blessing or a curse, or what most people think: this animal year is smooth and unstoppable; The back is full of barriers, and the eyes are full of thresholds. The saying that it is bad luck to go home is still inconclusive. But what is certain is that there is no scientific basis for saying that the animal year is a bad year. However, in this animal year, people often encounter many things they don't like, or do some absurd things, which makes people feel very strange. This phenomenon of "core remains of life" is still a blank in folklore research. Therefore, people who often pass the birth year are very worried about their fortune this year. How to cross this threshold is the biggest thing for most people in their birth year. More ironically, as the New Year approaches, merchants will make full use of people's psychological characteristics of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, and vigorously promote "animal year" products, such as red underwear and red underwear. Seize business opportunities and make big money. Today's animal year, like other traditional customs in China, has lost its inherent meaning and become a pretext for commercial propaganda. Most of us, on the other hand, follow this trend with the attitude of "believing in its existence but not believing in its absence", or regard it as a new fashion. Wearing red clothes and wearing a red belt in the "animal year" is not only to ward off evil spirits, but also has gradually evolved into a popular trend.

In the Central Plains of China, especially in Songshan Shaolin Temple, couples who get married in this animal year must put some "mugwort leaves" in their dowry to ward off evil spirits and pray for peace, auspiciousness, happiness and eternity.

[Edit this paragraph] Astronomical calendar and Year of the Animal

The ancient calendar of China used the combination of heavenly stems and earthly branches to mark the year. There is a saying in the first poem of The Journey to the West, a classic literary masterpiece, that "there are no children in the mountains, and the cold does not know the year". The "Jiazi" mentioned here refers to the calendar that marks the year with trunk branches. This means that because there is no calendar in the mountains, the slight cold and the great cold in the 24 solar terms have passed, and I don't know that the Spring Festival is coming.

In ancient times, it was very scientific to use the method of chronology of cadres and branches, but in the long social process at that time and later, after all, very few people could read words and sentences. It is difficult for most illiterate people to remember the date of birth by heavenly stems and earthly branches's combination, such as A, B, C, D, Zi Ugly Yin Mao. In order to facilitate memory and calculation, people use twelve kinds of animals, such as rats and cows, to correspond to the twelve earthly branches, and one of them is used as a year's zodiac every year. For example, according to the lunar calendar, the year 2004 is Shen Jianian and the zodiac is a monkey. It is much more difficult to remember Shen Jianian, but it is much easier to remember the Year of the Monkey. Historically, after people get married and have children, they don't need a household registration. For ordinary people, it doesn't matter if you can't remember the year of your child's birth. Just remember your child's zodiac sign. Therefore, the zodiac plays a role in strengthening memory. This special way of remembering age has become a major feature of China folk culture. Because there are ten days and twelve earthly branches, every twelve years is a small cycle, and every sixty years is a big cycle (a flower). That is to say, every twelve years, everyone will meet the same birth year as the year he was born, which is what people call the birth year.

[Edit this paragraph] The appeal of the animal year

The ancients believed that there would be seven disasters and eight difficulties in a person's life, from the emperor to the general to the people's minions. People generally think that the year of birth is a bad year, which is a "hurdle" on the road of life. This metaphor will undoubtedly have a great impact on people's psychological development, so people's mentality of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil seems to be innate. Why do people have such fears about the birth year?

Why does the animal year have such a strong appeal in the hearts of all beings? If this is largely influenced by the theory of numerology in China's traditional culture, it is interesting to note that many numerology books have no relevant discussion, and the definition of "Chen Yuan" in numerology books is also very different from that of Taoism. If this fear is caused by feudal superstition, then there are indeed some people who have encountered strange things that are more or less unsatisfactory in this year, and some people think that they will do some absurd things in this year. Liu also thinks in the article "About the Animal Year" that from the perspective of people's psychological development, the animal year often becomes a big hurdle in people's life process and constitutes a dangerous period.

There are different opinions about the year of birth, and it is difficult to draw a conclusion. But the phenomenon of "animal year" is indeed a blank spot in folklore research.

[Edit this paragraph] The year of birth is the origin of the red belt.

In the folk, some people think that there will be a lot of bad luck in the "animal year", and only when it is solved can it be resolved. Therefore, people in the "animal year" should wear red belts and red clothes from sunset to sunrise the next day on the 30th of the twelfth lunar month to ward off evil spirits and pray for good luck. Now people still follow the habit of wearing red clothes and wearing red belts in the "Animal Year".

There is also a legend that the patron saint of the zodiac will pay homage to heaven in the year of the animal. According to the current statement, there will be a dinner party. At this time, the protection of people will be weakened, and evil spirits will take advantage of it. Red can ward off evil spirits, which is related to the origin of posting Spring Festival couplets and setting off firecrackers in the New Year. Therefore, people wear red clothes and wear red belts to ward off evil spirits, which was later carried forward by people.

Li Huiquan began to be Zhao's escort after work, and sent Zhao again and again at night, which made Li Huiquan's heart gradually close to this young girl. However, with the passage of time, Zhao's reputation has gradually improved, and there are more and more admirers and followers.

Only Li Huiquan felt a shock in the abdomen and squatted on the ground. When the two teenagers fled, Li Huiquan struggled for a few steps and fell to the ground, and black and red blood streamed out. Li Huiquan, 24, died in the animal year.

[Edit this paragraph] Animal year custom

The so-called "animal year" is the year when 12 meets the lunar calendar, commonly known as the year of the zodiac. For example, people born in the Year of the Monkey, 2004 is their birth year. In traditional customs, the Year of the Animal is usually considered as an unlucky year. Those folk song collectors who say that "the year of birth is too old, and it is too old to take the lead. If there is no blessing, there will be disaster" is the best portrayal of the unlucky year of birth. Therefore, people usually refer to the "year of birth" as the "year of threshold", that is, spending the year of birth is like stepping into a threshold.

According to textual research, the word "Zodiac" existed as early as the Western Han Dynasty, which originated from China's Zodiac and his "red worship" mentality. In ancient China, people used the combination of heavenly stems and earthly branches, such as A, B, C, D, Zi Chou and Yin Mao, to remember the year of birth.
