What taboos did beginning of spring have the day before?

Four bogeys in beginning of spring: no haircut, no bed rest, no moving, no quarrel.

1. Don't get a haircut: In beginning of spring, the weather is getting warmer and plants are growing, and the hair is equivalent to the vegetation of the human body. The new vegetation will damage it, which is equivalent to shortening the vitality. This does not conform to the principle of the operation of heaven and earth and the growth of vegetation, so there is a custom of not having a haircut on this day.

2. Don't stay in bed: As the saying goes, "A year's plan lies in spring". When beginning of spring is full of vitality, we must get up early on this day to prepare for the Spring Festival and greet the new beginning in the best state. Don't stay in bed and sleep late on this day.

Third, don't move: Because moving means restless and turbulent days, beginning of spring is an alternate plan of solar terms, and the atmosphere is confusing. The ancients thought that moving on this day was against the way of heaven and earth and unlucky.

Fourth, don't quarrel: On this day in beginning of spring, it is very important to keep an optimistic and peaceful mind and not to quarrel with others, because it means that there is no good luck all year round.

The day before beginning of spring was the last day when the 24 solar terms ended. It is the day when winter and spring alternate, and the new 24 solar terms are coming. Absolute day is a saying that solar terms alternate in China lunar calendar. In the China lunar calendar, there are four absolute days in a year, which are the days before beginning of spring, Changxia, beginning of autumn and beginning of winter. The appearance of solar eclipse is to remind people of the end of a solar term and the arrival of a new solar term.
