So what is the fortune and inauspiciousness of the twelfth lunar month in 2020? Let’s learn more about it with Mr. Shui Mo.What day is the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in 2020?According to the old lunar calendar, the corresponding date is: January 27, 2021This day is the day to offer sacrifices to the Jade Emperor and pray for peace. Burning incense and praying on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month is a way of communicating with the gods. It is a good deed that conveys inner respect and piety and sends a signal of asking for wishes. It can bring favor to yourself and your family, help you achieve your wishes, and bless you and your family with good health, safety and good luck! What festivals are there in the twelfth lunar month?The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month: commemorating SakyamuniOn the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, people in my country have the custom of eating Laba porridge. It is said that Laba porridge was introduced from India. In ancient times, Laba porridge was made with red beans and glutinous rice, and later more ingredients were used. To this day, people in large areas of Jiangnan, Northeast China and Northwest my country still retain the custom of eating Laba porridge, but it is no longer common in Guangdong. The ingredients used are different, but glutinous rice, red beans, dates, chestnuts, peanuts, ginkgo nuts, lotus seeds, lilies, etc. are mostly used to cook sweet porridge. Some people also add longan, longan meat, candied fruit, etc. to cook together. Eating a bowl of steaming hot Laba porridge in winter is not only delicious and nutritious, but can indeed increase your blessings and longevity. The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month: The 23rd day of the 12th lunar month, also known as "Little New Year", is the day when people worship the kitchen god. There is a folk custom that "men do not worship the moon, and women do not worship the Kitchen God", so worshiping the Kitchen God is limited to men. Among the folk gods in China, the Kitchen God is one of the oldest. The Kitchen God had already become a great god revered by the people in the Xia Dynasty. Since the Zhou Dynasty, the imperial palace has included the worship of the Kitchen God in its sacrificial ceremonies, established rules for the worship of the Kitchen God throughout the country, and it has become a fixed ritual. The 24th day of the twelfth lunar month: sweeping the house After the Kitchen God Festival, preparations for the New Year officially begin. The custom of "dusting and sweeping the house on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month" has a long history. Also known as "sweeping dust, beating dust, removing residue, and removing dust." According to "Lüshi Chunqiu", the custom of sweeping the house during the Spring Festival has existed in my country since the Yao and Shun era. According to folk saying: because "dust" and "old" are homophones, sweeping the dust during the New Year has the meaning of "getting rid of the old and bringing in the new", and its purpose is to sweep away all the "bad luck" and "bad luck". This custom embodies people's desire to break the old and establish the new and their prayers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. The 25th day of the twelfth lunar month: Welcoming the Jade Emperor According to old customs, after the Kitchen God ascends to heaven (the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month), the Jade Emperor will personally descend to the mortal world on the 25th day of the 12th lunar month to investigate the good and evil in the world and determine the fortune and misfortune for the coming year. Therefore, every family offers sacrifices to him to pray for blessings, which is called "welcoming the Jade Emperor." On this day, you must be careful about your daily life and words, and strive to perform well in order to please the Jade Emperor and receive blessings for the coming year. The 28th day of the twelfth lunar month: Let the dough rise In most places, people rush to prepare steamed noodles for the New Year on this day. People in Taiyuan steam "two baskets of cakes and steamed buns"; people in Hebei steam "jujube flowers" as offerings to their ancestors on New Year's Eve; and people in Henan also steam steamed buns and fry guta on the 28th. Only people in Beijing are a step behind, letting the dough rise on this day and waiting until the 29th to steam the steamed buns. The 29th day of the twelfth lunar month: Little New Year's Eve The day before New Year’s Eve is called “Little New Year’s Eve”, when families hold banquets and people visit each other, which is called “saying goodbye to the old year”. |
