The winter solstice is coming, so what are the taboos and precautions during the winter solstice? The eleventh month of the lunar calendar is the first month of winter every year, which means the arrival of winter. Come to Mr. Shui Mo's website to learn about the relevant content of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar in 2018!What are the taboos and precautions for the winter solstice?1. Legend has it that at midnight on this day, the yin energy is particularly heavy, and if you stay in the wilderness you will see the spectacle of hundreds of ghosts parading at night, so everyone should go home early during the Ghost Festival.2. Don’t stick two chopsticks in the middle of the rice. This is like sticking incense in an incense burner. It is a form of worship. The person will think that you are inviting him to share the food. 3. Do not play in dangerous waters. According to legend, "water ghosts" will look for people to be scapegoats so that they can be reincarnated. 4. Do not pick up money on the street. The money is used to bribe the evildoers. If you violate their things, you will easily be punished by them. 5. Don’t look back easily. When you are walking in the wilderness or sparsely populated areas, if you feel “as if” someone is calling you, don’t look back easily, because it might be that person. 6. In Shaoxing, Zhejiang, avoid cursing, quarreling, and saying unlucky words during the winter solstice. 7. In some places in Yunnan, people are forbidden to slaughter animals or allow people in mourning to enter the house on the winter solstice. 8. In Hangzhou, Zhejiang, people sweep the floors inside and outside the house the night before the winter solstice, which is called "sweeping the floor of the previous year". They are not allowed to sweep the floor on the winter solstice. 9. In Huzhou, it is taboo for the elderly and children to go to bed late on the winter solstice. It is believed that the yin energy is the heaviest on the night of the winter solstice while the yang energy of the elderly and children is insufficient, so they must go to bed early to avoid it, otherwise it will be unfavorable. 10. After the winter solstice, the days begin to get longer and the Yang energy begins to be generated, so you need to rest and recuperate. That’s why there is a saying that you shouldn’t travel during the winter solstice. 11. In Henan Province, people are forbidden to eat dumplings during the winter solstice, otherwise their ears will freeze off and it will be bad for the harvest. As the proverb goes: "If you don't eat dumplings during the winter solstice, there will be no wind for threshing." 12. In Hubei, it is taboo to have no rain on the Winter Solstice. It is believed that if it does not rain on the Winter Solstice, the weather will be early next year. There is a proverb that says: "If there is no rain on the Beginning of Winter, look for the Winter Solstice. If there is no rain on the Winter Solstice, the winter will be sunny."
