What is widowhood?

There was no solar term "beginning of spring" among the 24 solar terms in that year, which was called "blind spring" and "widowed spring" by the people, also called "widowed year".

Folklore about "next year is a widow's year, not suitable for marriage" Experts remind that "the year of widowhood" is not "the year of widowhood", and hastily preparing for marriage will put great pressure on families and society.

Wang, a professor of sociology at Putian University, said: "This is a fabricated statement by Mr. Feng Shui, and there is no scientific basis." There is no "beginning of spring" in the Year of the Rooster, which is a coincidence of the replacement of the solar calendar and the lunar calendar. For example, some years have leap months. After several years of transformation from the old to the new, it is inevitable that there will be no "beginning of spring Day" in some years. This is a natural phenomenon, and it is not a "widowed year" at all. Rushing to get married will not only lead to social and family pressure because of sudden large consumption, but also lead to an increase in the number of children born in some years and an imbalance in the birth rate, which will cause greater pressure on these children's future nursery, school and employment. To this end, Professor Wang appealed to young couples, especially those who plan to get married early, not to listen to rumors without scientific basis, to calmly prepare for the wedding and consciously stop the wind of competing for the wedding.
