As the Spring Festival approaches, what are the feng shui taboos in the twelfth lunar month?

As the saying goes: "After Laba is the year", entering the twelfth lunar month means the end of the lunar calendar. On the occasion of the Spring Festival in 1898, please pay more attention to traditional folk customs and respect the stress and taboos of the twelfth lunar month.

Sacrificial moon

The so-called "wax" is dried meat, which means offering meat to the gods at the end of the year. The reason why the twelfth lunar month is called "twelfth lunar month" is mainly related to sacrifice. Han Yingshao's "Customs" said: "Jia Pingwa, Qing Si, Zhou used big wax, and Han changed big wax. Those who wax and hunt say that they hunt animals in the fields to sacrifice to their ancestors. " Therefore, the twelfth lunar month is a "sacrificial month".

Don't break ground or move.

The twelfth lunar month is the coldest month in a year, and there are many days to break ground and move, which drives the vitality of prosperity and makes the future days prosperous. Therefore, traditional folk customs do not recommend breaking ground and moving in the twelfth lunar month. If you have to move to a new house, you need to warm the house in advance. The way to warm the house is to invite more friends to increase popularity.

The twelfth lunar month should be swept away.

There was a custom of sweeping dust in the twelfth lunar month in the Yao and Shun era. Because "dust" and "Chen" are homophonic, sweeping dust in the twelfth lunar month means "getting rid of the old and not being new". From the perspective of feng shui, this will wipe out all the bad information such as "bad luck" and "bad luck" at home. Sweep the dust in the twelfth lunar month, and you can expect the fortune to get better and better in the coming year.

Chuyang era

The ancients called the period after the winter solstice and before beginning of spring when the sun first moved as "the Chuyang era", and there was a sentence in Yuefu poem "Peacock flies southeast": "In the past, Chuyang was old, and Xie Jia came to the door". The era of Chuyang is the best time to get married, so the twelfth lunar month is the wedding peak in folk customs.

Other taboos

In traditional customs, there are many kinds of sacrifices in the twelfth lunar month, especially at the end of the year, gods will come to earth. Therefore, in the past, people didn't swear casually in the twelfth lunar month, let alone swear casually this month. The whole twelfth lunar month is spent in strictness and caution, praying for peace and smoothness in the coming year.
