Come to Shuimoxiansheng.com to learn more about the third month of the lunar calendar in 2019.Can’t I go back to my parents’ home on March 3rd, 2019?Analysis of the saying that you cannot go back to your parents’ home on March 3:The custom of not returning to one’s parents’ home on March 3rd mainly originated in Shandong. There are some popular sayings in Shandong, such as "If you go back to your parents' home on March 3rd, your husband will die and the sky will fall" and "On March 3rd, cry to the sky". It means that you cannot go back to your parents' home, otherwise it will be bad for your husband and even something bad may happen to your family. March 3rd is also one of the four traditional ghost festivals, so it is also said that women should not go out casually on this day. This is also related to the saying that you cannot go back to your parents’ home on March 3rd. It is said that the third day of March is an "evil day" and should be avoided. According to the "Book of Song: Rites", "Xu Zhao, a native of Pingyuan, had triplets in early March. On March 3, all of them died. The villagers thought it was a strange thing, and from then on, every year on this day, they would go to the waterside to wash" or go out to avoid evil spirits. What are the taboos on March 3rd?About the Ghost Festival on March 3:In traditional folk culture, the Shangsi Festival on the third day of the third lunar month is generally considered to be a Ghost Festival. Legend has it that in ancient times, the boundary between the world of the living and the world of the dead was not as strict as it is now. The souls of the dead could visit the world of the living, and the souls of the living could visit the world of the dead. It was as convenient as visiting relatives. On the third day of the third lunar month every year, the boundary between yin and yang, life and death, becomes more relaxed. On the night of the third day of March, the streets of the underworld are decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the streets and alleys are crowded with gorgeous ghosts. Dragon lanterns, lion dances, stilts and flower boats can be seen everywhere. The liveliness and prosperity are incomparable to the Spring Festival on earth. Therefore, on this night, people's souls could not withstand the temptation of the underworld and went to the ghost market to play. Some wandered the streets watching lanterns and plays, some drank and listened to music in restaurants and teahouses, and some took the opportunity to visit their ancestors whom they had never met. When the roosters crow and the ghost market closes, most of the wandering souls return to their bodies contentedly. A few wandering souls were so happy that they forgot to return and stayed in the underworld. The next day, there was crying in the world of the living. We invite monks and Taoists to chant sutras and draw talismans to summon the souls of those relatives whose spirits have not returned. Analysis of taboos on March 3:Taboo on March 3: Saying the word "ghost"On the day of March 3rd, ghosts almost come out in droves and are everywhere, especially the scene of the Pudu Dharma Assembly, which is definitely full of "ghosts". It is best to be careful with what you say and do during the Ghost Festival on March 3rd. In addition to avoiding saying the word "ghost", you should also not speak carelessly, because be careful that ghosts are around you! Taboo on March 3: Trampling No matter it is a sacrifice or anything else, you must not step on or jump around while burning it, otherwise you will inevitably hinder their movements, and they will become angry and will naturally be bad for you. Taboo on March 3: Washing and hanging clothes in the middle of the night Washed clothes are easily clinging to free radio waves due to dampness, making them difficult to get rid of. In the ghost month when ghosts roam everywhere, hanging clothes out to dry in the middle of the night is like setting a trap to catch ghosts. If it doesn't trouble you, who else will it trouble? Taboo on March 3: Don’t show your forehead The forehead represents the light of righteousness. Don’t let your hair cover your forehead, otherwise it will affect your luck. Especially on the Ghost Festival, it is better to expose your forehead. Taboo on March 3: Patting others on the shoulder at random This taboo is related to folk customs. People believe that everyone has three fires on their body, gathered on the top of the head and shoulders, which will prevent ghosts and other spirits from approaching. Taboos on March 3: Taboos for women It is believed among the people that due to physiological reasons, women should not be present at events such as construction and sacrifices during a certain period of time, so as not to offend the gods, leading to misfortune or preventing the construction from proceeding smoothly. During this period, women's aura is relatively weak and they are easily affected, so they should be more cautious. The new wave of annual fortune in 2019 has already changed.
