Don't share the same room for three days before and after the solar term.

In China, people have always attached importance to the inheritance of future generations, but there are also days when some people can't sleep together in folk customs. In this issue of the twenty-four solar terms, we will take you to understand the folk taboo about solar terms, that is, people can't sleep together from winter to the days before and after. Let's take a look together.

What are the taboos for not sleeping together for a few days before and after the winter solstice?

In China's traditional concept, men and women are divided into Yang and Yin, men return to Yang and women return to Yin. Only when men have sexual intercourse with women can they reproduce. As the saying goes, "Lonely yin is not born, and lonely yang is not long." However, only sexual intercourse between men and women can achieve harmony between yin and yang. Otherwise, the disharmony between Yin and Yang will not only be detrimental to the reproduction of future generations, but also bring many evils. Therefore, men and women should also have taboos about yin and yang when making love.

In ancient times, people thought that the sun was still weak in winter and the shade was still weak in summer, such as vegetation sprouting, easy to be cut down, and the shade and harmony could not be reconciled. Although it refers to the yin and yang in nature, it is also afraid of infecting the blood spirit of men and women. At this time, I am afraid that sex can't cooperate with the solar terms and drain the blood, leading to fatigue and disaster.

In the past, sexual intercourse has always been a taboo in ancient times, people avoided talking about it, and the reproduction of ethnic groups is an important thing, so these taboos have been handed down on a small scale. Whether they are correct or not, in fact, these taboos have played an indispensable role in the formation and development of a nation's social lifestyle. Therefore, whether the winter solstice can be shared depends on personal wishes and ideas, and there are not many mandatory regulations.
