What are the traditional cultural customs in China?

China has a long history and many folk traditions have been handed down. There are some customs in our life, such as: many traditional festivals, many local customs, no haircut in the first month. Another thing is that you like to wear a red belt or red clothes in this animal year. Do you know why?

The Year of the Beast is a cycle of the five-element calendar handed down from China. Now it is a 12-year cycle, that is, a circle of the zodiac. For example, this year is 20 19, the year of the pig is the animal year, and everyone should wear red clothes. This is our custom and tradition.

According to legend, in the animal year, the animals of the zodiac will go to heaven to pay homage and go underground every day, so this year people will have no protection, so people will wear red clothes or red belts, and later even underwear and socks will be red? . Because red is an auspicious color in the history of China and even now, people think that red is a positive color and can ward off evil spirits, so everyone will wear red to ward off evil spirits in this animal year.

In fact, there are still some traditions of the animal year that we must pay attention to. We would rather believe in it than believe in it. Don't go out too far in the animal year, because the fortune is poor and it is easy to have an accident when you go out. Don't jump ship and move in this animal year, and don't invest too much, because luck is very bad, so be careful.

As time goes by, China people still have a soft spot for red. During the Spring Festival, couplets are all red, and so are red envelopes. Red is not only auspicious, but also a symbol of prosperity. Fire is red, and red looks more lively, so people will wear red during the Spring Festival. First, it will be prosperous. Second, they will pray for a smoother next year. So red can really represent the color of China.
