Talking about the Year of the Animal and matters needing attention (friends of the Year of the Dog please come in)

The "animal year" is the year when the Chinese zodiac meets, and it is usually called the year of the zodiac. For example, people born in the Year of the Monkey, 2004 is their year of birth. In traditional customs, the Year of the Ox is usually considered as an unlucky year. The folk song "When you are born, you are too old, and you take the lead." If there is no happiness, there will be disaster "is the best portrayal of the unlucky year of birth." Therefore, people usually call the "year of birth" the "year of threshold", that is, spending the year of birth is like stepping into the threshold. In the Year of the Ox, in all parts of the northern part of the Han nationality, both adults and children should wear red belts, commonly known as "tying red", and children should wear red vests and red underpants, 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 "auspicious ribbons" and "auspicious knots" 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.

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 to remember the year of birth, such as A, B, C, D, Zi Chou and 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 branches of the earth, and one of them is used as the year's animal sign 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 animal sign will be the year of his birth. Because of the cycle of the zodiac, every two years, people will meet their own year of birth, which is introduced in turn. The birth years of life are 2 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 sixth year of birth in a person's life, and it is also the reincarnation of the year of dry support. It should be celebrated well to express people's desire for longevity, health and good luck.

The taboo of "Monument to the Core of Life" has a wide influence among the people. In the folk customs of the north and the south, there is a tradition of hanging red in the animal year to avoid evil spirits and disasters. Therefore, people especially like red in every year of the animal. 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 concepts of red exorcism and red auspiciousness have existed since primitive society. Red is the color of the sun, blood and fire. With the changes of the times, this idea of respecting red has not changed. Red couplets, red wedding dresses, red headscarves, red candles, and red lists of new families in old weddings of Han people are posted in the New Year, 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 will wear red underwear early, or wear red belts, and some accessories worn with red silk ropes to welcome their birth year. People think that only in this way can misfortune and disaster be avoided. These red things that ward off evil spirits in this animal year are what people often call "red in this animal year".

People also have the custom of offering sacrifices to the "God of Monuments, the core of life" in the year when animals are born, so as to prolong their life. The view of God in the core monument of life comes from Taoism. Taoism absorbed the popular saying of "life core monument" and put forward the theories of "life core monument star", "animal year" and "animal day" 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 connection with heavenly stems, 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 the year of Jiazi, can find the core monument god of their life. For example, the national hero Yue Fei was born in A.D. 1 103, and the core monument star of his life was named "General Wei Rener, when he was not in his prime". According to Taoism, Chen Yuan must be worshipped in the animal year or normal year, which will eliminate disasters and get blessings. This has become a custom that has been passed down to this day.

The year of the beast should be counted from the first day of the first month. For dogs that passed their animal year in 2006, it is very lucky that next year will be a good animal year. Take good care of it, everything will be smooth and there will be new development. However, although it is a lucky year of the animal, don't forget that you should not only wear red underwear, but also wear a red rope if it is convenient. You can tie it around your wrist, neck and waist according to your 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. Although it is particularly important to remember that red underwear and underpants must be given by others, because it is said that if you buy them yourself, you will lose the effect of ward off evil spirits.

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 according to birth. People think that every earthly branch of the Tibetan calendar is over, and the second earthly branch begins with "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. To avoid disaster, Dobusch should read more scriptures. For the ethnic minorities in China, the custom of "Year of the Ox" was originally the custom of the Khitans to celebrate their birth. In the Liao Dynasty, celebrating the Year of the Animal was also called a rebirth ceremony or a re-birthday ceremony, because in the Liao Dynasty, the year of the 12 zodiac was already used, and the zodiac was reincarnated every 12. When everyone is born, a ceremony will be held to commemorate his birth and repay his mother's kindness.

Generally speaking, this birth year is a blessing or a curse, or what most people think: this birth year is smooth and good, and good luck is unstoppable; At present, it is said that there are barriers and doorsteps everywhere, and it will be bad luck to go home. It is still inconclusive. But to be sure, there is no scientific basis for saying that the Year of the Animal is a bad year. However, in this Year of the Animal, people often encounter many things they don't like or do 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 live in the Year of the Animal are very worried about their fortune this year. How to cross this hurdle is the biggest thing for most people in their animal year. More ironically, when 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" goods, such as red underwear and red underwear. And seize business opportunities to make big money. Today's Year of the Animal, like other traditional customs in China, has lost its inherent meaning and become an excuse for commercial propaganda. On the other hand, most of us follow this trend with the attitude of "believing what it is but not what it is", or when it becomes a new fashion, wearing red clothes and wearing a red belt in the Year of the Animal is not only to ward off evil spirits, it has become a popular fashion.
