What is the zodiac in Xiaonianbei?

Xiaonian North is a solar term, which has nothing to do with the zodiac.

"Off-year South" refers to off-year in the south, with the date on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, and "off-year North" refers to off-year in the north, with the date on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. This has nothing to do with the zodiac, so it is impossible to judge whether the date belongs to the zodiac or what constellation it belongs to.

The reason why there are "off-year south" and "off-year north" is that the time of off-year in the north and south is different, so there are two sayings: "off-year south" and "off-year north". As for the zodiac, you need to check the year to know the specific zodiac.

The custom of off-year in the north

1, king of men

According to folklore, every year on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Kitchen God will tell the Jade Emperor about the good and evil of this family and let the Jade Emperor reward and punish them. Therefore, when sending stoves, people put candy, water, boiled beans and sacrificial stoves on the console table in front of the statue of the kitchen king; Among them, the last three are the mounts of the kitchen god ascending to heaven. When offering sacrifices to the stove, you should melt the Guandong sugar with fire and put it on the mouth of the kitchen god.

Step 2 Eat jiaozi

Jiaozi is a folk food with a long history and is deeply loved by people. There is a folk saying "delicious but not as good as jiaozi". During the Spring Festival, jiaozi has become a timely and indispensable delicacy, representing family reunion.

Step 3 clean the dust

According to the traditional custom, on the day of "off-year", the home should be cleaned inside and outside, spotless, and welcome the arrival of the new year with a new atmosphere. "Dust" and "Chen" are homophonic, so sweeping dust means sweeping away old things, which means both the old dirt in the courtyard and the unhappiness encountered in the old year.
