What does the overlap of March 3rd and Tomb-Sweeping Day mean?
The third day of the third lunar month is Tomb-Sweeping Day. This "two-festival encounter" is just a coincidence and completely normal. Why is there a saying that "the year is not good"? Because in southern China, people pay more attention to the third day of the third lunar month, while northerners often don't care much. This is because on the third day of the third lunar month, the north is still very cold, while the south is just spring, which is the season when everything recovers and various infectious diseases and plagues prevail. Therefore, southerners think that this day is unlucky, and people will fly kites and other activities on this day to get rid of bad luck. Tomb-Sweeping Day is a festival to worship ancestors, and the main activity is to sweep graves. So some people think it's unlucky to meet these two days. People in China often think that red cloth is an auspicious color when they drive away evil spirits and take refuge. As for canned peaches, they use the homonym of "peach" and "escape" and think that eating peaches can "escape" the disaster. There are also popular ways to buy a red vest to ward off evil spirits and a golden axe to seek happiness. In fact, these are all psychological hints for people to avoid disasters, which have no practical significance.
