What does snake day mean?

Snake Day is an important symbolic day in the Chinese zodiac, and the annual snake day will also affect people's lives and decisions. First of all, it is said that people born in year of the snake will have the good luck of "helping others all their lives", so people born in year of the snake are often expected to seize the opportunity. Secondly, Snake Day is an auspicious day for people belonging to the Five Elements, suitable for making important decisions and activities, such as opening a business, moving, getting married and so on. Therefore, some people will choose to do important things on snake day for good luck.

In the history of China, the Snake Festival also has important cultural and traditional significance. For example, some places regard snake day as a day when the boundaries between heaven and earth are blurred. People will wash and dry clothes at home to purify their homes and drive away evil spirits. In addition, in some areas, there are sacrificial activities of snake gods or snake demons to express reverence and awe for the gods. These traditional cultural activities also endow the Snake Festival with special significance and value.

Although Snake Day is of great significance in China culture, in modern society, many people don't particularly care about the concept of "Snake Day". However, we can still feel the profoundness of China's traditional culture and the fine understanding of time, space, five elements and gods. Besides, some people still believe in and follow traditional ideas, such as "auspicious day" and "unlucky day". Although science has gradually replaced traditional beliefs, the human nature of pursuing happiness and peace has not been weakened. So snake day is also a topic worthy of our in-depth consideration.
