Introduction: The seventh day of the first lunar month is the person's day . The old man said: "If you don't do anything on the seventh day of the lunar month, your wealth will be prosperous for a year"! 4What do you mean by not doing it? What's the point?
Hello everyone, I am Shajie Gourmet. Food and beautiful scenery are the only things in life that I cannot live up to. Today there should be many people picking up their mood and starting the work of the new year. Have you not completely recovered your mind yet? You are still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the New Year, reminiscing about the traditional folk customs and tempting delicacies of the New Year. Speaking of traditional folk customs, the Spring Festival is the most colorful. Starting from New Year's Eve, there are many details every day. Today is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, which is "people's seventh day", and it is also a person's birthday. Legend has it that when Nuwa created the common people, she did not create humans first, but first created chickens, dogs, pigs, sheep, cows, and horses before creating humans. Then there are the chicken day on the first day of the lunar month, the dog day on the second day, the pig day on the third day, the sheep day on the fourth day, the cow day on the fifth day, the horse day on the sixth day, and the human day on the seventh day. The old man said: "If you don't do anything on the seventh day of the lunar month, your wealth will be prosperous for a whole year"! What are the 4 things you cannot do on this day? Let’s take a look.
[Four things to avoid]
1. Not traveling far away
Folk saying goes: "If you don't go out for seven days, you won't return for eight days." On the seventh day of the lunar month, old people often say that it is unlucky not to travel far away. In ancient times, when people chose to travel far, it was generally auspicious to go out on days like March, Sixth, and Ninth, so this day was not suitable for traveling.
2. Don’t quarrel with others
Try to avoid quarreling with others on the seventh day of the lunar month, and don’t worry about it. In fact, not only on the seventh day of the lunar month, but also during the entire New Year period, older people are very taboo about quarrels with others. If this happens, it means that the new year has not started well, and the next things will not go smoothly.
3. Not seeing a doctor
If you get sick or take medicine and see a doctor on the seventh day, people in ancient times would consider it a very unlucky thing, and you will be plagued by all kinds of diseases in the next year. Although there is no scientific basis, people just want to be healthy and safe in the coming year, so they are more taboo about taking medicine and seeing a doctor when they are sick.
4. Not washing quilts
The seventh day is also the day to send Vulcan , so on this day the old people often say not to wash the clothes and quilts, and do these things after the seventh day. The reason is that water and fire are incompatible, and it may conflict with the god of fire.
[Eat three things]
1. Eating noodles
Most of us in the north have the custom of eating noodles on the seventh day of the lunar month. The thin and long noodles can wrap around the legs and hold up time, which means good health! Live a long life!
2. Eating Cabbage Dumplings
In addition to eating noodles, there is also the traditional custom of eating dumplings on the seventh day of the lunar month. Dumplings are a food that is not easy to eat in the era of material scarcity. Only during the New Year and festivals can the old and young at home have a meal, so dumplings are often eaten in the traditional customs of the Spring Festival. This is the best delicacy. Dumplings stuffed with cabbage are homophonic to "hundreds of wealth", which means good fortune in the coming year.
3. Eating vegetable soup
In the north, people eat noodles and dumplings for "seven days", while in the south there is a custom of eating seven vegetable soup . People choose 7 ingredients with better meanings and cook them together.I hope everything goes well in the new year! No worries about food and clothing! In good health! Peace and prosperity!
[Two things to do]
1. Climb high to pray
People will choose to climb high to pray with their relatives. On this day, climbing high to pray is just like the Double Ninth Festival, praying for good luck for yourself and your family in the new year, and rising step by step! Get better every year!
2. Send the God of Fire
Send the God of Fire on the seventh day of the first lunar month. Tie corn stalks or wheat stalks to sticks, light them and throw them into the nearby river to wash away. This means that people hope to be free from fire troubles in the next year and pray for peace and good fortune!
Various traditional folk customs during the Spring Festival may be just some myths and legends for young people. In fact, if you taste them carefully, it is not difficult to see that they are the yearning for a better life by generations of people, so today we should cherish the hard-won life. That’s it for today’s sharing. I hope you can gain something from my sharing. Thank you for watching and supporting. See you tomorrow, bye!
