Why is it taboo to choose a wedding date in a blind year without beginning of spring?

In folk customs, there are many taboos in blind years, such as: it is not suitable for marriage, repairing graves and moving tombs, and moving civil beams. Because people think that after the beginning of spring, the climate and aura will begin to change, and everyone's fortune will begin to face different new changes, which may be a turning point or a crisis. "No spring year" will have a great impact on the fortune of a year. The most popular folk saying is "I have no spring, so I shouldn't get married".

Actually, it's not scientific here. The emergence of widow's year is only a matter of calendar, which is the product of astronomical calendar in China. Calendars used in history include solar calendar, lunar calendar and combined calendar of yin and yang. The "blind year" is the result of the calendar of Yin and Yang, and there are cases of "single spring" and "double spring" besides no spring. So widowhood is not directly related to suitability for marriage.

The so-called blind year is a widow's year in the north, which means a year without beginning of spring. Because people like leap years when choosing a good wedding date, and because there will be two beginning of spring in that year, it is a good sign, so the elders think it is not good to get married in a blind year. However, in the choice of wedding auspicious day, choosing a day is more important than choosing a month, and choosing a month is more important than choosing a year. When a couple chooses an auspicious day, they can ask their elders at home or ask a master to help them measure the date and get lucky. In fact, according to China's traditional numerology, there is no taboo for people of other zodiac signs to get married in this animal year, except those of dragon, horse, chicken and pig.

Because each couple's specific numerology is different from the five elements, for some people, even if it is not a "spring-free year", it still depends on each other's numerology, which is the fundamental reason for choosing good luck in marriage. Just combining folklore, numerology and many other factors, it is said that we can't get married in the "blind year" because the "widowed year" doesn't sound auspicious, and China people like to be lovable, which is actually a good sign of "love" for a hundred years.
