What are the taboos of engagement?(1) Avoid using unlucky names in betrothal giftsIn the old days, after the man’s family selected an auspicious date, they would bring gift money and gifts to the woman’s family 15 to 20 days before the wedding. Generally, this ceremony is very grand, because the amount of the gift the man gives to the woman not only reflects how much he values the woman, but also reflects the financial status of his family. Each item in the betrothal gift should have an auspicious name. For example, during the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were nine fixed betrothal gifts, including cassia bark, Jiahe, donkey-hide gelatin, cattail leaf, red reed, double stones, cotton wool, longevity thread, dry lacquer, etc. Each item has the meaning of blessing the couple's love to last forever. (2) Avoid giving betrothal gifts in odd numbers The number should also be even rather than odd, because even numbers are a symbol of good luck and there is an old saying among the people that "good things come in pairs". The odd number is an unlucky symbol and is therefore taboo. (3) Avoid including shoes in the betrothal gift In some places, it is taboo to include shoes in the betrothal gift because people are afraid that the woman will wear the shoes and run away. What are the three phases of the Spring Equinox?In ancient China, the vernal equinox was divided into three stages: "The first stage is the arrival of the black bird; the second stage is the sound of thunder; the third stage is the beginning of lightning." This means that after the vernal equinox, swallows begin to fly back from the south, and there will be thunder and lightning in the sky when it rains. The flower signs represented by the three phases of the Vernal Equinox are: "The first phase is crabapple, the second phase is pear blossom, and the third phase is magnolia." Once the three flowers bloom, there are thousands of branches of spring flowers, and hundreds of flowers compete for favor, filling the garden with the colors of spring. The Spring Equinox is recorded in the ancient Chinese calendar as: "Three days before the Spring Equinox, the sun enters the equator."According to the Collection of Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes in the Lunar Calendar, "In the middle of February, the equinox means half, which is half of the ninety days, so it is called the equinox." The Spring and Autumn Annals: Yin and Yang, Parts 1 and 2 says, "The spring equinox is when yin and yang are half and half, so the day and night are equal and the cold and heat are neutral." The Ming History: Calendar 1 says, "The equinox is the point where the ecliptic and the red intersect. When the sun reaches this point, the day and night are equal." Therefore, the significance of the spring equinox is, firstly, that the day and night are equal in one day, 12 hours each; secondly, the ancient times defined the spring season as from the Beginning of Spring to the Beginning of Summer, and the spring equinox is right in the middle of the three months of spring, dividing the spring season equally.
