What is the significance of the boudoir year?

The most important thing to pay attention to in the boudoir year is to give your mother leap month shoes.

In our country's thousand-year culture, there are also various customs and customs in leap months. There is a folk saying that goes, "If you wear leap moon shoes in a leap month, the old man will live a thousand lives in a leap month." This means that giving your mother a pair of leap moon shoes in a leap month in a leap year can help pray for your mother's health and longevity. If your daughter happens to be getting married in a leap year, remember to give it to your mother one month before the leap month, so that the blessing effect will be better.

The custom of leap month shoes has been passed down to this day. Another important factor is that people in ancient times lived in poverty and often had to go barefoot to work in the fields. Shoes and the like were considered luxury goods, and If children can give their parents shoes, they naturally hope that their parents will be less tired. Although living conditions have improved now, giving leap month shoes also represents children's filial piety towards their parents.

Why do we pay attention to leap months?

Our country has always used two calendars, one is the solar calendar and the other is the lunar calendar. The solar calendar is also called the solar calendar, which uses the tropical year as the year. The calendar is based on the lunar calendar, which is different. It uses the moon's waxing and waning cycle as the basis for calendar months, and also takes into account the cold and summer solar terms throughout the year. In order to make the lunar calendar and the solar calendar reasonably coincide with the seasons, the ancients had the method of "adding leap months" to "adjust the surplus and deficiency".

The emphasis on the leap month is spontaneously formed among the people, such as sending "wild goose buns", giving leap month shoes, eating leap month rice, drinking leap month tea, etc. The purpose is to hope that the family members are in good health and free from illness and disaster, and that the elderly can live a long and healthy life. They all want to use the leap month to seek good luck, get rid of plague, and eliminate disasters for their parents.
