Winter solstice taboo

1, taboo to return to China

In some cities in northern China, people think that they can't go back to their parents' homes on the solstice of winter. This is because the feudal ethics of "three obedience and four virtues" restricts the daughter-in-law. In the past, the daughter-in-law would go back to her mother's house after the autumn harvest, so she had the custom of going back to her husband's house from winter to Sunday.

2, taboo marriage

Generally speaking, it is not suitable for marriage around the solar terms. The ancients thought that the wedding day should be avoided from four days to the day before, that is, beginning of spring, Changxia, beginning of autumn, beginning of winter and the day before the vernal equinox, autumnal equinox, summer solstice and winter solstice in the 24 solar terms, and the universe was in a state of chaos. In traditional customs, it is considered as leaving on the 4th and 4th, so it is unlucky to get married at this time.

3, taboo to go out

In the legend of winter solstice, it is either impossible to go out or impossible to travel far. Because the winter solstice is the shortest white, it is said that this day is the time when Tengu came to the world to look for the incarnation, so you can't go far, and don't wander around when it is dark. It is also said that when Pangu opened the sky, it was the winter solstice. At this time, because the genius has just started, there is no evil and the world travels.

4, taboo to move

In the traditional Chinese calendar of China, our corresponding word for moving is "entering the house" or "moving" or "migrating". "Migration" generally refers to the migration of people or things. The migration of people is the migration of moving houses, moving furniture and the like. Judging from the customs of solar terms, the day was actually not suitable for moving. With the arrival of the winter solstice, the No.9 cold wave mode has been started, and the coldest weather will come in three or nine days. According to Feng Shui, a cold atmosphere will destroy the prosperity of a family. Therefore, it is best not to move in winter. In addition, in the geomantic omen of moving, it is most taboo to meet the evil side of moving, and the sinkhole is in the northeast during the winter solstice. If you don't know enough about this, you'd better choose another auspicious day to move.
