Why doesn't anyone get married on the thirteenth day of the first month?

Because the thirteenth day of the first month is not suitable for marriage, marriage is the most important day in a person's life, so we must choose a good day to do it, so no one gets married on the thirteenth day of the first month. The following are the yellow calendar taboos on the 13th day of the first month:

On the thirteenth day of the first month, the rabbit was driven to the east. XiShen is in the northwest, southwest of fortune, and northeast of fortune.

On the anniversary of Yang Gong's death, no honours, licenses, breaking ground, bedridden, engaged, boarding a beam, seeking an heir, repairing a grave, leaving a job, building a building, praying for blessings, offering sacrifices, disbanding, dismantling, collecting money, domesticating animals, being captured, serving, undressing, getting married, collecting money, building a house or opening a pool are allowed for major events.

Avoid Yang Gong Memorial Day. Don't move, enter the house, travel, bury, cook, travel, break ground, drill, light a fire, move, cut trees, take a boat, separate, bury, move or open a warehouse.

Judging from the results of the old calendar, today's events are marked as "Don't use important events", which is what we usually call "breaking the New Year's Day", which is not suitable for dealing with important events, so this day is not suitable for marriage.

The custom of the 13th day of the first month:

1, the birthday of the lamp holder.

On the 13th day of the first month, there is an important folk activity called "the birthday of the lampstand".

On this day, people want to light a lamp under the kitchen stove, which is called "lighting the stove lamp". In fact, because the Lantern Festival is coming on the fifteenth day of the first month, all the lamps made by families are called "lamp holders".

2, rolling dragon lights.

The custom of playing dragon rolling in Digang Town of Fanchang during the Spring Festival has been passed down for more than 100 years, usually lasting for four days.

On the 13th day of the first month of every year, the lights are tested, turned on at 14th, turned on at 15th and turned on at 16th. On the night of the light test, six old dragons and several rolling dragons took to the streets for the first time. When the China lantern was first put on, the dragon lantern began to walk around and fly around.

Every family on both sides of the street hangs lights, and every family burns incense and shoots. Then, the rolling dragon, the flower blue, the story lamp, the lantern, the fish lamp, the lion lamp, the rabbit lamp, the butterfly lamp and the melon lamp all went to the streets. At this time, all kinds of dragon lanterns are flowing on the road, and all kinds of colored lights are shining with dazzling light. They didn't turn off the lights until after midnight, and then continued to play with them the next day until the lights were sixteen yen.

3. Tie lanterns.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, lanterns are usually tied from the thirteenth day of the first month. The old Beijing New Year's Eve ballad is "Eleven chirps, twelve light sheds, thirteen people turn on the lights, fourteen lights are on ..." In other words, the thirteenth day of the first month is "lighting"; 14 is "light test"; Fifteenth is "positive light"; 17, lights out. From the 13th day of the first month, people began to put lanterns and tie colored lanterns!
