Can I get married in a blind year?

You can get married in blind years.

There is no conflict between blindness and marriage!

In modern times, it is said that it is auspicious to get married, that is, to get married beautifully when you get married, not because the year of widowhood is not suitable for marriage. Widowhood is just a coincidence between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar, and whether there is beginning of spring or not is only caused by the time difference of different calendars, which will never affect the cycle of the four seasons, let alone personal life. The emergence of widow's year is only a matter of calendar, which is the product of my astronomical calendar. Calendars used in history include solar calendar, lunar calendar and lunar calendar. The combination of lunar and lunar calendars in "blind years" in history is not the only happy way for beginning of spring to get married.

What is a blind year?

In China, people call a blind year a widow's year. China people have been paying attention to the balance of Yin and Yang since ancient times. In the concept of the ancients, Yang represents men and Yin represents women. There are also views that "solitary yin is not long, solitary yin is not long" and "yin is full of yang diseases, and yang is full of yin diseases". Everything is negative and holds Yang. If there is no "beginning of spring" for a year, there will be no Yang. If there is no yang, you will be lonely, which means there is no man to match. Therefore, people think that if you get married in a "spring-free year" without beginning of spring, it is not good for men. This is why the ancients called "the year without spring" "the year without spring". "beginning of spring" is a very important solar term, and beginning of spring is the time point of fortune change in a year. According to the old saying, the beginning of last spring means the beginning of a new year.

What are the taboos for getting married?

There are many wedding customs, for example, when the bride enters the man's house, she should avoid stepping on the threshold and cross it. On the wedding day, when the bride goes out, her aunt should avoid seeing her off, because "aunt" is homophonic with "orphan" and "sister-in-law" is homophonic with "sweep", which is unlucky. On the wedding day, the bride can't lie down, or she will be ill in bed for a year. Don't have pockets in the clothes and dresses worn by the bride on her wedding day, so as not to take away her family's wealth. The more the bride cries when she leaves home, the better. The more she cried, the less she cried. Avoid getting married on the night of the ghost month, that is, the seventh month of the lunar calendar. On the way to the wedding, if you meet another wedding motorcade, which is called "beaming", it will offset the blessing of the other party, so you must set off firecrackers or exchange flowers between matchmakers to resolve it. Within four months of marriage, you can't take part in any activities and stay out for the night, which will be unsafe.
