What are the taboos of the Cold Clothes Festival on October 1, 2019? The legend of Cold Clothes Festival and Meng Jiangnu
The Cold Clothes Festival is one of the important sacrificial festivals in my country, also known as the Ghost Festival. Since it is the Ghost Festival, there must be many taboos. So, what are the taboos of the Cold Clothes Festival on October 1, 2019, and the legend of the Cold Clothes Festival and Meng Jiangnu. The tenth month of the lunar calendar is the Pig Month, which has other names such as Jianhai, Mengdong, Yingzhong, Shangdong, Kaidong, Chudong, Xiaoyangchun, Xiaochun, Zhengyangyue, Yangyue, Haiyue, Liangyue and Kunyue. Come to Mr. Shui Mo's website to learn about the relevant content of the tenth month of the lunar calendar in 2019!What are the taboos of the Cold Clothes Festival on October 1st, 2019?1. On the day of Cold Clothes Festival, women are forbidden to go out. Women have a cold constitution and need to pay special attention.2. All clothes and paper money sent to the deceased must be burned and completely burned. Only in this way can these papers in the world of the living be transformed into silk, cloth, money, houses, etc. in the world of the dead. As long as there is one thing left unfinished, all previous efforts will be wasted and the person leaving cannot use it. 3. People who are in poor health should not go to the cemetery; the elderly and children should not go to the cemetery; if you encounter something unpleasant on the road, do not go to the cemetery; do not go to the cemetery after dark; do not laugh or play games in the cemetery; do not make disrespectful remarks in the cemetery; do not relieve yourself in the cemetery; do not look back when leaving. 4. Don’t hang wind chimes at the head of the bed. Even if it has been hung there before, you should take it down on the Cold Clothes Festival. Because wind chimes are objects that easily attract ghosts, and people are most likely to be invaded by ghosts when they are sleeping. 5. Don't look back easily at night, because when you are walking on the road, especially in the wilderness, it is easy to attract ghosts. At this time, you are alone. If someone calls you and you look back without any precautions, then the person calling you is undoubtedly a ghost. After all, the Cold Clothes Festival is one of the ghost festivals, and it is the day when ghosts are most active in the human world. 6. Don’t hang your clothes outside at night, because if you hang your clothes outside at night, ghosts may think your clothes are nice and borrow them to wear. This will leave their scent on the clothes and bring bad luck to you in this year. 7. Do not burn ghost paper in non-specific occasions. Ghost paper has been burned for good brothers since ancient times. Burning ghost paper in non-specific occasions can easily attract more good brothers. (The good brothers here refer to ghosts) Cold Clothes Festival and the Legend of Meng JiangnuMeng Jiangnu Delivers Winter Clothes A Thousand Miles AwayAccording to legend, during the Qin Dynasty, the Meng and Jiang families in Songjiang Prefecture in Jiangnan had a daughter while growing gourds. She was named Meng Jiangnu and married to Fan Qiliang. Later, Qi Liang was captured and forced to build the Great Wall in the northern border. Meng Jiangnu traveled thousands of miles to find her husband and give him winter clothes. When she arrived at the foot of the Great Wall, she found that her husband had died and was buried inside the wall. Meng Jiangnu was filled with grief and indignation. She cried towards the Great Wall day and night. Finally, she moved heaven and earth so much that her tears collapsed the Great Wall, revealing her husband's body. For thousands of years, this story of loyal love has been widely circulated. After Meng Jiangnu cried down the 800-li Great Wall, she confronted Qin Shihuang face to face, avenged her husband and vented her anger. Finally, she jumped into the sea with her husband's remains in her arms and died with him. At the moment of jumping into the sea, the waves surged and slowly arched up two reefs. It is said that Jiangnu's tomb on the sea can never be submerged no matter how high the tide is. Because of the story of Meng Jiangnu who traveled thousands of miles to find her husband and send him winter clothes, the first day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar is called "Cold Clothes Festival" both inside and outside the Great Wall. "Burning winter clothes on the first day of October" has long become a custom in the north to pay tribute to deceased relatives. An ancient book says: "Fate determines the prosperity or decline of a lifetime, while fortune determines the success or failure of a moment." If you are not lucky, you will inevitably suffer from poverty and illness throughout your life. If you want to know about your fortune, use the Bazi calculation function to check it out! |
