China people are very particular about doing things. They should also look at the old almanac before going out. If they can't judge, they will also ask professional masters to measure, so as to make things go smoothly. Especially in traditional festivals, we are very particular about it, and we don't want the elderly to tell us many times. Let's have a look.

Taboos of Cold Clothes Festival on the first day of October

Don't dry things: It is said that the sunshine on this day is not strong enough. If you dry clothes or quilts, you are afraid of getting bad things, which will bring bad luck.

② Not suitable for going out at night: Go back early this day, because there are many people offering sacrifices at the intersection, fearing that it is not good to meet the ancestors coming and going.

③ Don't burn paper in a strange place: When burning paper in a designated area, it is best to recite the names of your ancestors to avoid being snatched away by others.

4 taboo opening: this day is a day to express grief, and opening is a symbol of celebration. The two are inconsistent and have to be postponed.

⑤ Don't take pictures: Although the ceremony is grand and memorable, it is not appropriate to take pictures, because things related to optics may seem out of place and disrespectful to ancestors at the Cold Clothes Festival, so they should be put away.

Avoid hanging wind chimes at the bedside: it is windy in winter, and if you hang wind chimes at night, I am afraid it will lead to strange things.

When?

Through the calendar, we can quickly know that this year's Cold Clothes Festival is on June 5 165438, that is, the first day of the tenth lunar month, and the old calendar is fixed. There are many ways, such as offering sacrifices at home or sweeping graves. People are afraid of the cold winter, and their deceased relatives lack clothes underground. Therefore, in addition to food, incense sticks and paper money, there is also a sacrifice called sending cold clothes, which has become an indispensable link today.

What are the weather characteristics?

Due to China's vast territory, the north and the south have different climate characteristics. At this time, the temperature in the north is low. In the Mohe area in the far north, the temperature has dropped below-10℃, and the temperature will drop again after each round of cold air. The southern region is in the late autumn season, which is suitable for autumn appreciation. The area with maple leaves is a scene of "frost leaves are redder than February flowers" There is a big temperature difference between day and night in the country, so everyone should be prepared for the cold.
