What is the word for Qixi when you turn it upside down and add a horizontal line? Why is Qixi Festival about death?
Speaking of Chinese Valentine's Day, I believe everyone is familiar with it. However, not everyone knows what the word "Chinese Valentine's Day" means when you add a horizontal line to the word "Chinese Valentine's Day" backwards. So, let's take a look at what the word "Chinese Valentine's Day" means when you add a horizontal line to the word "Chinese Valentine's Day" backwards. Why is Qixi Festival about death? The goodness of days in different months is different. To find out whether the days in the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 2021 are good, you can click on Mr. Shui Mo’s website to check relevant knowledge.What is the word for Qixi when you turn it upside down and add a horizontal line? Why is Qixi Festival about death?Many of my friends say that Qixi reversed with a horizontal stroke is the word “death”.But in fact, it is not like that. The seven in Qixi has a leading edge, while the other side of the character for death is the bi in bi, which has no leading edge. Therefore, Qixi Festival is not a dead word, and there is no saying that Qixi Festival is a bad day and not suitable for showing affection. Is the number seven in Chinese Valentine’s Day a good number?In our country, the number seven is actually quite revered.On the bright side: "Seven" is the number of beads in each column of the abacus. It is romantic and rigorous, giving people a mysterious beauty. "Seven" represents a period of time in folk culture, and "Seven Sevens" is often used as the end point for calculating time. The current "week" is calculated using the "Nanayo" and is still retained in Japanese. In Taiwan, July is known as the month of "happiness and fortune". “Qi” (seven) is homophonic with “ji” (lucky), and “Qiqi” (seven seven) also means double luck, so it is an auspicious day. Because the shape of the word "喜" in cursive script resembles the continuous writing of "七十七", seventy-seven years old is also called "喜寿". On the negative side: The Chinese people have long had the funeral customs of "the first seven days" and "the seventh day after the death". Legend has it that after death, the soul will not disperse and will return home on the seventh day. Family members should prepare a meal for the deceased in advance and then leave, both to send the deceased on his way and to prevent the deceased from missing his relatives and friends and becoming a wandering ghost in the world of the living. After sending off the deceased on the seventh day, the sacrifices cannot be stopped. The rituals must be performed every seven days until the 49th day. In addition to funeral ceremonies, many unearthed tomb relics also show people's worship of "seven". A large jade knife with seven holes was unearthed at the Erlitou site in Henan Province. The blade was stained with yellow, which was suspected to be the result of being baptized in blood for a long time. |
