Why are you avoiding the spring?
It is said that the beginning of the Spring Festival is the time when "Tai Sui" handed over. At this time, people who are too old will hide, so as not to bring bad luck to themselves and affect the fortune of the year.
"Hiding in spring" doesn't mean hiding all day, just two hours. For example, in 2023, beginning of spring will be at 10: 42 on February 4th, so you only need to "hide" for one hour before and after the handover of solar terms in beginning of spring. Stay at home honestly for these two hours, that is, from 9: 42 to 1 1: 42, and avoid going out.
There are three main types of "hiding from spring"
First of all, people who "commit tai sui" should "hide in spring". Animals committing tai sui in 2023 include rabbits (valuing tai sui), chickens (rushing tai sui), horses (breaking tai sui), rats (punishing tai sui) and dragons (harming tai sui). People who commit tai sui should try to stay at home during the spring festival to avoid the bad influence of the outside world and stay away from villains and conflicts.
The second is that people who meet for nine days should "avoid spring". There has always been a saying in China that "every nine years", and at the same time "every nine years" is divided into "nine years in the open" and "nine years in the dark". "Ming Jiu" refers to nine years old, such as 29, 39, 49 and 59. "Dark Nine" means that the age is a multiple of nine, such as 27, 39, 45, 54.
In folklore, the more young people need to pay attention to "every nine years", because young people are the most active and important period in life.
Third, people should try to avoid people who are offended by their own animals at the beginning of spring. For example, people who belong to dragons should try to avoid people who belong to dogs and rabbits, people who belong to rats should try to avoid people who belong to horses, sheep and rabbits, and people who belong to dogs should try to avoid people who belong to dragons, sheep, cows and chickens.
Of course, "hiding from spring" is just a way of saying "concern". In fact, I just emphasized the importance of this day when I was in beginning of spring, in order to have a good start in the new year and make it auspicious, smooth and complete.
