How to choose an auspicious day for marriage:1. It is better to choose a leap year or month. Chinese people attach great importance to the selection of wedding dates, and are very particular about the concepts of "run month" and "run year". When choosing an auspicious date for marriage, it is best to choose a year with a leap month as it is a good omen. Of course, if there is no "Runyue" or "Runnian" in that year, there is no need to force it. Please note that there is a difference between the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar for "leap year". This year is a "leap year" in the Gregorian calendar.2. Avoid the third, seventh and ninth months of the lunar calendar. It is best to avoid choosing auspicious days in the third, seventh and ninth months of the lunar calendar, as these three months coincide with the "Qingming Festival", "Yulan Festival" and "Chonggong Festival" respectively, which are all traditional "Ghost Festivals" and are not suitable for holding weddings. 3. Avoid the days of Sanniangsha and Yanggongji. According to legend, Yue Lao refused to tie the red thread for Sanniang, preventing her from getting married. Out of revenge, Sanniang opposed Yue Lao and specifically ruined the happy events of newlyweds. Therefore, it is not suitable to get married on the Sanniang evil days of each month, i.e. the 3rd, 7th, 13th, 18th, 22nd and 27th. 4. The date of marriage should be chosen according to the woman’s decision. One principle of choosing a date is to base it on the bride’s date of birth, while also taking the groom’s and other people’s dates of birth into consideration. As the saying goes, "Boys depend on the time of their birth, girls depend on the year of their marriage", which shows the importance of choosing a good date for girls. If this principle is reversed or ignored, it will lead to problems in the marriage and even divorce, so newlyweds must not ignore it. 5. You must avoid your parents’ birthdays. In traditional numerology, parents’ birthdays should not be the same as an auspicious wedding date, which means it is not appropriate to get married on your parents’ birthdays. 6. Date of registration and marriage ceremony. If you decide to have your registration and wedding ceremony on separate dates, it would be best to choose a date for both days. If you have to make a choice, you should base it on the day of the traditional wedding reception and banquet, and choose an auspicious day, because Chinese tradition always regards this day as the real wedding day. Inventory of customs on the 13th day of the first lunar month:1. The 13th day of the first lunar month is called the “birthday of the lamp head”. People light lamps under the kitchen stove on this day, which is called "lighting the stove lamp". In fact, it is because the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the day of lantern festival, is approaching, and each family tries to make lanterns, so it is called the "lamp head" day. In the old days, Nantong started lighting lanterns on the 13th day of the first lunar month and put them out on the 18th day. There is a saying that "gods watch the lanterns on the 13th and 14th, people watch the lanterns on the 15th and 16th, and ghosts watch the lanterns on the 17th and 18th". There is also a custom of "putting on lanterns with round balls and taking off lanterns with noodles".This custom originated in the Southern Song Dynasty. According to historical records, in the third year of Chunyou reign of Emperor Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty (1243 AD), there was a custom of "setting off the Lantern Festival in advance, and from the 13th day onwards, all the lanes and bridges would be decorated with bamboos and lanterns." 2. Rolling Dragon Lantern The custom of playing with rolling dragons during the Spring Festival has been passed down for more than a hundred years and usually lasts for four days. The 13th day of the first lunar month every year is for testing lanterns, the 14th day is for lighting lanterns, the 15th day is for lighting the main lanterns, and the 16th day is for lighting the round lanterns. In the evening of the lighting test day, six old dragons and several rolling dragons took to the streets for the first time. When the lanterns are first lit, the dragon lanterns begin to move up and down, circling and dancing everywhere. On both sides of the street, every household hung lanterns, burned incense and set off firecrackers. Then, rolling dragons, flower baskets, story lanterns, revolving lanterns, fish lanterns, lion lanterns, rabbit lanterns, butterfly lanterns, and golden pumpkin lanterns all took to the streets. At this time, there is an endless stream of dragon lanterns of various colors on the road, and various colored lanterns are flashing brilliantly. The fun lasts until after three o'clock in the morning, when the lanterns are put away. The lanterns will be played with again the next day until the round lanterns are turned off on the sixteenth day. 3. Making colorful lanterns The 15th day of the first lunar month is the time for lantern festivals, which usually starts from making colorful lanterns on the 13th day of the first lunar month. The New Year songs in old Beijing include "On the eleventh day, people are shouting and chatting; on the twelfth day, they are setting up the lantern shed; on the thirteenth day, they are lighting the lanterns; on the fourteenth day, the lanterns are brightly lit..." In other words, the thirteenth day of the first lunar month is for "lighting the lanterns"; the fourteenth day is for "testing the lanterns"; the fifteenth day is for "the real lighting"; and the seventeenth day is for "turning off the lanterns". Starting from the 13th day of the first lunar month, people begin to hang up lanterns and make colorful lanterns! 4. Tofu Festival The Tofu Festival is a unique folk custom activity during the Lantern Festival held by the Lin clan in Shegangxia Village, Gaogang Town, Fogang County. Legend has it that tofu can both give birth to a child and ensure a good harvest. On this day, the person who has a baby in the clan that year pays for it, and the rest of the people donate money to buy a lot of tofu. As the lights and firecrackers are lit, men, women, old and young throw tofu to each other, praying for good weather, good harvests, good health, rich life and a prosperous family in the new year. Those who are hit by the tofu will have more luck and fortune in the new year. 5. Worshiping Guan Gong There is a custom in the rural areas of Chang'an District in Xi'an that people worship Guan Gong on the 13th day of the first lunar month every year. Have you ever seen the offering called "Tiandiezi" used to worship Guan Gong? Big, plump soybeans are arranged in a row on the eaves, and colorful beans, melon seeds, and peach kernels are connected with bamboo sticks and stacked layer by layer on a shape supported by several plates, finally forming a series of exquisite pavilions. This is the unique folk handicraft "Tian Di Zi" in Chang'an District. 6. Holy Insect Feast “Don’t leave the house before the 15th day of the first lunar month.” On the 13th day of the first lunar month, many rural areas have the custom of making “holy insects”. On this day, women in the village get together in groups of three or five to knead dough, cut, carve, and steam them. This is the last “busy” of the Spring Festival and to welcome the Lantern Festival. Lifelike “holy insects” are produced by these skillful hands who can carry hoes and touch shovels. The holy of holy insects, harmonious surplus, ascension, and holy insect banquet, symbolize the beautiful vision of a good harvest, good weather, and continuous promotion. 7. Offering sacrifices to the sea and releasing sea lanterns Offering sacrifices to the sea and releasing sea lanterns on the 13th day of the first lunar month is a traditional custom of Chinese fishermen. According to folk legend, the 13th day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the goddess of the sea. Local fishermen and villagers follow the traditional customs, placing offerings on the shore, offering sacrifices to the goddess of the sea facing the sea, lighting fireworks, and releasing beautifully made boat lanterns filled with blessings into the sea, praying for smooth sailing, happiness and peace. |
