Let’s learn more about it in Shuimoxiansheng.com’s special topic on the twelfth month of the lunar calendar in 2018.What traditional festival is on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month in 2019? What is its meaning?The twelfth month of the lunar calendar [La Yue] is the common name for the eve of the Chinese New Year on the 27th day. It is a traditional custom of the Chinese Spring Festival. A Chinese proverb says, "On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, slaughter chickens and go to the market."On this day, every household slaughters their own poultry and goes to the market to purchase goods. Compared with the market on ordinary days where the main purpose is to buy what is in short supply and sell what is in surplus, the market on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month is mainly for buying and selling New Year items, such as firecrackers, spring couplets, incense and candles, burning paper, beef and mutton, various gifts for children, and various head ornaments for girls. On this day, markets everywhere are very busy and lively. Folk songs about the twelfth lunar month:There are two New Year's songs popular among the people in southeastern Shanxi Province:One is "On the 23rd, send the master to heaven; on the 24th, sweep the house; on the 25th, steam dumplings; on the 26th, cut the meat; on the 27th, polish the tinware; on the 28th, soak the dirt; on the 29th, wash your feet and hands; on the 30th, post door gods and couplets together." It reflects the urgency of time and the intensity of preparation work. The second is a nursery rhyme: "On the 23rd, after offering sacrifices to the kitchen god, the children clap their hands and laugh. In five or six days, the New Year will be here. They play with the evil-averting box and walnuts, and firecrackers go off. The five sons pass the imperial examinations, and the ping-pong sound is heard, and the fire rises higher than the sky." It reflects the children's joyful psychology in looking forward to the New Year. Origin of the twelfth lunar month:The twelfth month of the lunar calendar is also known as the twelfth month or the wax month. There are many traditional folk activities during the twelfth lunar month. This title has little to do with the natural seasons, but is mainly related to the annual sacrifices. The so-called "La" was originally the name of the sacrifice at the end of the year. Han Ying Shao's "Customs and Meanings" said, "In the Xia Dynasty, it was called Jiaping; in the Yin Dynasty, it was called Qingsi; in the Zhou Dynasty, it was called Da La; and in the Han Dynasty, it was changed to La. La means hunting, which refers to hunting animals to sacrifice to the ancestors." Or it is said, "La means connection, the connection between the new and the old, so a big sacrifice is held to reward the merits." Whether it is offering animals to ancestors after hunting, or worshiping gods at the turn of the old and the new, sacrificial activities are still required, so the twelfth lunar month is a month for sacrifice.A good name not only leaves a good first impression on people and makes them easy to remember, but it can also bring good luck and fortune throughout your life.
