Why do you wear red underwear this animal year? What are you still concerned about?

Wearing red underwear and red underpants with a red belt in this animal year is a folk custom in China, which emphasizes "seeking good fortune and avoiding evil".

What is the "animal year"? It means a person twelve, twenty-four, thirty-six, forty-eight, sixty. According to China's historical records, the Ten-Day Dry Branch and the Twelve-Day Branch form 60 Jiazi, and every year, the "old gods" rotate, and the old gods on duty are "traditional". For example, in 2004, it was "Shen Jianian", Tai sui Xing Jun was Gong Fang, and in the same year, Tai sui Zodiac made a terrible star, and all the monkeys were this year.

The theory of "Zodiac" existed as early as the Western Han Dynasty and was handed down from generation to generation. The understanding and avoidance methods of "Animal Year" are slightly different in different places, and its ornaments are also various. In addition to the usual red underwear, red shorts and red belts, there are also red shawls, red pendants, red gloves, red scarves, red coils, red collars and red pendants. But there is only one main function and purpose, that is, "to ward off evil spirits."

China people "worship red", that is, they admire red. In people's minds, red is a color with strong life significance. For example, people should put up Spring Festival couplets, put up red window grilles, hang red lanterns and so on.

Zhouyi is a classic work of China. Red belongs to the eight diagrams in Zhouyi, representing light, and the five elements belong to fire. According to the theory of Yin and Yang, red is Yang, and like the sun, it destroys darkness and evil everywhere. From the numerologist's point of view, the number of "animal year" is negative, and using red to adjust bad luck is one of its simple and easy means. Of course, there are many ways, so I won't talk about it here.

Red is a very auspicious and festive color, so no matter whether there is suspicion of feudal superstition or not, people are still willing to buy some red goods representing tradition in this animal year, full of hope in a red hope, hoping for a smooth and good luck in the year.

People in the "animal year" want to wear red with Zhu, which expresses people's life consciousness and hopes to kill evil spirits with red.
