Why is Tanabata not suitable for marriage?

Tanabata is not suitable for marriage for the following reasons:

Reason 1: There is an ancient saying of "yes-man", so in the traditional concept of China people, marriage is a happy event for a man and a woman in pairs. If it is on a certain day, it means bad luck. In addition, although the love of Cowherd and Weaver Girl is touching, their love is full of sadness and helplessness, so the older generation is taboo to get married on the seventh day of July.

Reason 2: Qixi Festival is very close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, because the Mid-Autumn Festival is called Ghost Festival in some areas, which means the day to worship the ancestors and miss the dead. On such a day, traditional old people will think it is unlucky to get married at this time. After all, since ancient times, there has been a saying that weddings and funerals do not meet.

Choice of wedding date

It is a folk tradition of China people to choose auspicious days. Marriage registration (engagement) and wedding ceremony are important events in the life of both husband and wife, so it is best to choose an auspicious day. If you want to choose, you should choose an auspicious day based on the traditional wedding banquet and wine setting etiquette, because China tradition has always regarded this day as a real wedding day. ?

The calculation method of auspicious day is to calculate the most auspicious wedding date by using the date and time of birth of both men and women. This "auspicious day" cannot conflict with the zodiac of both men and women. Pay attention to the date of birth of the bride and refer to the date of birth of the man and others. Parents' birthdays should not be the same as the auspicious day of marriage, but it is absolutely appropriate to get married in that month.

When choosing an auspicious day, the date is more important than the month, and the month is more important than the year: first, choose the wedding season according to the envisaged wedding form and local climate characteristics. At the same time, we should also consider the difficulty of relatives and friends attending the wedding. Based on the above factors, after selecting the approximate range, you can choose the date according to their birthdays.
