Winter Solstice Animals of China Zodiac Animals

The winter solstice animal of the China Zodiac is a mouse.

Although "winter solstice" refers to mice, there are many other traditional customs in China culture. For example, on the day of winter solstice, people will eat rice, zongzi and hairy crabs, all of which are to express their blessings to mice, hoping that "mice" can protect the safety and health of their families on the eve of winter solstice.

In addition, on the eve of the winter solstice, people will burn purple bamboo with lanterns and torches. These customs are to pray for prosperity and wealth. So far, we can see that in China culture, "winter solstice" refers to the representative mice of the zodiac. It has a unique traditional culture and a desire to pray, but it can't change the actual situation, just thinking of psychological comfort.

Winter solstice taboo:

1, avoid getting married

Because the day before the winter solstice is four days away from the sun, the so-called four days away from the sun refers to the day before the vernal equinox, autumnal equinox, summer solstice and winter solstice, which is considered unlucky in traditional customs. Usually in ancient times, you should choose the auspicious day of the ecliptic. If you choose a good day, your future life will be smooth sailing.

2. Avoid going out

First of all, the winter solstice has the shortest day and the longest night. If you go out during the day, it indicates that you will go home after dark. The ancients did not advocate going out because they were afraid of the dark. Secondly, the solstice in winter is also a day of reunion and ancestor worship, so everyone will choose to stay at home and may encounter bad things when they go out.

Don't go back to your mother's house

The solstice in winter is the first day of the new year, which is equivalent to New Year's Day, so it is taboo to go back to your mother's house. According to custom, it is not until the second or third day of the first month that you return to your mother's house.
