The origin of the twelfth lunar month:

December of the lunar calendar is also called twelfth lunar month, which has little to do with natural seasons. In ancient times, people called the memorial ceremony of offering sacrifices to ancestors and gods at the end of the New Year to pray for longevity and avoid disaster "La". Sacrificial tribute is called "La Worship". In addition, the 65438+February of the lunar calendar is the last month of the year, "twelfth lunar month, Ye Jie, to ward off the epidemic and welcome the new year", which means that the old and the new alternate to ward off diseases and welcome the New Year, so the1February of the lunar calendar is called twelfth lunar month.

December at the end of a year is called the twelfth month. This custom originated in Qin and Han Dynasties. By 22 1 year BC, Qin Shihuang unified China and ordered the establishment of a calendar. December, when the old and the new alternate in late winter and early spring, is called twelfth month, and the eighth day of December is called twelfth month.

The twelfth lunar month is the end of the year, and it is in the cold winter. The slight cold or severe cold in the twenty-four solar terms is in the twelfth lunar month, and the coldest March 9 and April 9 of another year are also in the twelfth lunar month, so it is called "cold winter". Folk proverb: "The seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Bala, freezes the bones" refers to the cold of the twelfth lunar month. In the twelfth lunar month, the farm work has been finished, and most of the time it is covered with snow and ice. People welcome the New Year with a happy mood.
