As winter gets closer, there is only a tail left in 2022, and we are about to usher in 2023. The year of the Tiger in Gengyin and Tiger in the lunar calendar is about to end, and what follows is the year of the Rabbit. Next year's Year of the Rabbit is different from previous years. It is not only Double Spring , but also a rare leap February .
At the same time, the ancestors also said that "the rabbit meets Double spring , the three things squat at home". So, what three things do the "three things" mentioned by the folk ancestors refer to? Is what our ancestors said justified?
The so-called "The rabbit meets the double spring, and the three things squat at home." That is to say, if the year of the rabbit encounters the double spring, then three items need to be put into home. The reason why our ancestors said this is because our ancestors believed that these three items had a very auspicious meaning in the Year of the Rabbit. They were in line with the Year of the Rabbit and could bring good luck to people!
Although the ancestors say this, although one-sided, it is indeed a beautiful wish for life by the ancestors, and it is also a way of expressing the traditional auspicious culture of the folk!
So, what exactly does the "three things" in this sentence "The rabbit meets the spring of the two, and the three things squat at home" refer to?
One of them refers to Yin wood.
In our traditional culture, our ancestors believed that all things in the world are inseparable from yin and yang and the five elements! The twelve earthly branches is no exception. "Mao" is one of the twelve earthly branches. It is yin based on yin and yang, and wood based on the five elements, so it is yin wood!
is naturally Yang wood. Both belong to wood, but they are not very similar. Yang wood is tall and majestic, such as some tall wutong , etc.; while Yin wood is different. Yin wood can be manifested as some flowers and plants, small and vigorous!
So, in the year of the Rabbit, an indispensable item in the family is some small flowers, plants and trees!
The second is a plant of water.
Next year's Year of the Rabbit is the Double Spring Year. This first day of the beginning of spring is the 2nd day of the first lunar month of . And this day in the stem and branch calendar is Guisi day .
Heavenly Stems have Five Elements Attribute , and Earthly Branches also have Five Elements Attributes. At the same time, the stems and branches composed of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches are also given new Five Elements Attributes. The new five elements attribute of Guisi is " long flowing water ".
Therefore, plants with the five elements belong to water have a very auspicious meaning in the year of the water rabbit. There are many plants that belong to water, such as Clivia , Daffodil , etc.
The third is aquatic plants.
The second The Year of the Rabbit is the 25th day of the Spring Festival on on 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. This day is the Wuxu day in the stem and branch calendar. The five elements attributes of Wuxu are " flat wood ". In the eyes of our ancestors, the wood on the flat ground is the wood that grows in the soil, so we are very afraid of encountering soil again. The old man said that there is too much soil and he will be restless. Therefore, in the Year of the Rabbit, the Double Spring Year, the ancestors believed that it was best to put aquatic plants at home.
, for example, daffodils, water lilies, etc. There are even many plants that can be raised with water, such as Fugui Bamboo , etc.
So what the ancestors said about "The rabbit meets the spring of the two, and the three things squat at home". The "three things" actually refer to three plants, one is a small domestic plant, the other is a plant with the five elements of water, and the last is aquatic plant. In the Year of the Rabbit, it is also possible to place only plants that can meet one of the conditions in the home, but if these three conditions can be met at the same time, it would be better!
However, this common saying by our ancestors is only a kind of expectation of the people's ancestors for a better life and is part of our traditional auspicious culture.
