However, the dates for setting the first month of the lunar calendar in different dynasties in China are not consistent:The Xia Dynasty used the first month of spring (i.e. the first month) as the first month. The Shang Dynasty used the twelfth month (December) as the first month. After Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he stipulated that October was the first month of the year, and the Qin calendar was used in the early Han Dynasty. In the first year of Emperor Wu of Han's Taichu reign, that is, in 104 BC, astronomers Luoxiahong, Deng Ping and others formulated the Taichu Calendar, which changed the original October as the beginning of the year to the first month of spring. Later generations gradually improved it on this basis into the lunar calendar (i.e. the lunar calendar) we use today. Luoxiahong is also known as the "Spring Festival Old Man". Since then, China has continued to use the Xia calendar (lunar calendar, also known as the agricultural calendar) to date until the end of the Qing Dynasty, a total of 2080 years. What are the taboos during the Spring Festival?1. Welcoming the New Year: According to superstitious customs, people usually stay up all night on New Year's Eve and set off firecrackers in the early hours of the morning to drive away the Nian God.2. The damage of tools or other equipment means the disappearance of wealth in the coming year, so businessmen should try their best to prevent this from happening. 3. Do not kill any living creatures during the Spring Festival, as the sight of blood is a bad omen that will lead to financial loss, knife wounds, or serious injuries. 4 If it’s not urgent, try not to go to the hospital. It is said that you will get sick in the coming year. 5. Also, don't wear white or black clothes because these two colors are often closely associated with death. 6. Damaged clothes: New clothes cannot be damaged. Especially children should not wear such clothes in the first month of the New Year, otherwise it will bring bad luck. |
