What is the year of widowhood? What are the precautions for getting married these days?

Many people who are about to enter the marriage hall can only postpone their wedding because they can't get married within one year or because they can't choose a good day. The coming new year will naturally become a blind year because there is no beginning of spring. Traditionally, it is considered unlucky to get married in a blind year, but it is unrealistic for men and women who have waited for a year and reached marriageable age because there is no beginning of spring.

Nowadays, with the changes of the times, the tradition of not getting married in blind years has been gradually broken. It is a traditional folk culture in China to seek good fortune and avoid evil. Just pay attention to some things when you get married in a blind year, but you don't have to get married. As the saying goes, "when a man is born, a woman will get married", it can be seen that the wedding date is more important to the woman, and the taboo of getting married in natural blind years is mostly aimed at the woman.

First of all, wedding candy and wedding cake are necessities for a wedding. On the wedding day, newlyweds will distribute wedding candy and wedding cakes to relatives and friends to share the happiness of newlyweds, which indicates that life will be sweet. However, if they get married in the year of widowhood, the bride-to-be must remember not to eat wedding candy and wedding cake as gifts from the man. Once eaten, it means eating all the happiness.

Secondly, in the traditional marriage culture of China, a married daughter must present a wedding cake to her ancestors or gods before offering sacrifices and burning incense. Pay attention to the fragrance instead of the second fragrance, because the second fragrance means "remarriage", which is not good for newlyweds.

Third, in traditional Chinese weddings, it is necessary to set the bed. After the bed is settled, in addition to the wedding quilt, the new bed is also sprinkled with wedding candy, which has the wish of "children and grandchildren".

Fourth-after the banquet, the bride and groom can't say "goodbye" when seeing off the guests, because goodbye means parting, which is not good for the wedding. The bride and groom can nod or wave goodbye when seeing off the guests.
