Come to Shuimoxiansheng.com’s special feature on the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 2019 to learn about the auspiciousness and inauspiciousness of the day!What is the saying about getting married on Chinese Valentine’s Day?Answer: Before the Han Dynasty, the Chinese Valentine's Day was a taboo day for marriage, and it was unlucky to get married on the Chinese Valentine's Day.In folk culture, the Chinese Valentine's Day is a beautiful festival. It is both a festival to worship the seven sisters and a love festival. Today, it has evolved into China's Valentine's Day. But before the Han Dynasty, Qixi Festival was a taboo day for marriage. Why was that? Before the Han Dynasty, Qixi Festival was a taboo day among the people. In the Qin Dynasty bamboo slips book "Daily Book", there is a taboo on "marrying a wife". Why do I say so? Mainly because the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl did not marry each other in the end. Therefore, there is a folk rumor that if a man marries a woman on such a day, the husband will leave his wife within three years. Some people say that history does not specify the day that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl got married, but it only says that they had an intimate and touching meeting on this day. However, after meeting each other that day, they separated again. Is this how ordinary people’s marriages should be? Therefore, it is unlucky to get married on the Chinese Valentine's Day. But nowadays, there are no so many taboos on the Chinese Valentine's Day. The ancients often had many superstitious ideas when science was not developed. As China's Valentine's Day, the Chinese Valentine's Day is also a beautiful festival to worship the seven sisters, pray for blessings and wishes, beg for skills, watch the Altair and Vega stars, and pray for marriage. Therefore, getting married on the Chinese Valentine's Day is also a good thing. What are the taboos of the Chinese Valentine’s Day?1. Do not think or do evil things . In the eyes of ancient people, "seven" and "lucky" are homophones, and "seven seven" means double luck. It can be said that Qixi Festival is a super auspicious day. Therefore, the ancients also said: "Don't think about evil things on the seventh day." On such a double auspicious day, don't even think about bad things, let alone do bad things.2. It is not suitable for mating between men and women . The Qixi Festival is the moral La Day. In ancient times, the La Day was the day to worship ancestors and gods. Taoism inherited the ancient La Day customs. Those who violated the customs on this day would be stripped of their salaries and titles. Therefore, this day is not suitable for mating between men and women, otherwise it will reduce their fortune, luck and fortune, and take away their lifespan! 3. Taboo on marriage. Qixi Festival was a taboo day among the people before the Han Dynasty. According to the 155th slip of the "Daily Book" of the Yunmeng Shuihudi Qin Bamboo Slips, which records the taboo anniversary of "marrying a wife", the gist of the slip says that on the days of Wushen and Siyou, the happy event of Altair marrying Vega did not take place. If a man marries a woman on such a day, she will be divorced within three years. This proves that the legend that Altair and Vega were unable to marry because of the barrier of the Milky Way influenced the folk customs of the people and formed a time taboo on marriage among the people. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
