Why can't we do great things on the thirteenth day of the first month?

You can't do great things on the 13th day of the first month, because this day is the anniversary of Yang Gong's death, which will not go smoothly and bring a lot of bad luck. These thirteen "taboo days" are 1 month 13, February 1 day, March 9, April 7, May 5, June 3, July1day, July 29, and July 29. This biography was written by Yang Junsong, a geomantic master in the Tang Dynasty. In the view of Kong Xuan's family, it is not appropriate to do great things in these thirteen days, so we should pay attention to avoiding them.

The custom of the thirteenth day of the first month

On the 13th day of the first month, people will release lanterns. As an ancient Han folk culture, people will light lanterns at home from the 13th to 16th day of the first lunar month and scatter them everywhere to eliminate the ominous signs. Scattered lanterns are also called "scattered villains". Fu Cha Dunchong, a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, recorded in "Yanjing is Prosperous at the Age of Years": "From the 13th to the 16th, from the hall to the door, lanterns are lit to illuminate people, which is called scattered snuff, also called scattered villains. Also remove the ominous meaning. " Snuff is made of ordinary crepe paper. Generally, you should choose five colors. Even numbers are absolutely not allowed. The production process of snuff is also very particular. Be sure to wash your hands and prepare a wet clean towel before you do it, because when you twist snuff, your hands will easily become smooth and you can't "twist". At the same time, there is an important folk activity on the 13th day of the first month, which is 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 approaching on the fifteenth day of the first month, all families have made lanterns in advance to prepare for the fifteenth day of the first month.
