Why is December 2018 the twelfth month?
The twelfth month of the lunar calendar is commonly known as "La Yue" among the people.
December is the last month of the year, commonly known as the end of the year. It has more than 30 names for it, such as Ladong, Candong, Qiongdong, Layue, Bingyue, Yuyue, Jiyue, Qingsi, Dongsu, and Dalu. Among them, the most familiar and well-known one is "La Yue".
It is called "La Yue" because "La" is the name of the ancient ancestor worship and gods. There is a saying that "three days after the winter solstice, sacrifice to all gods". That is, the third day after the winter solstice contains the earthly branch "Xu" in the heavenly stems and earthly branches. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was fixed on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Traditionally, people would hunt animals and hold grand sacrifices to worship gods and ancestors in order to pray for blessings and longevity, avoid disasters and welcome good luck. This memorial ceremony is called "hunting sacrifice".
Because "La" and "Lie" are homophones, "Lieji" was written as "Laji", and thus the twelfth month of the year is called Layue. This custom originated in the Qin and Han Dynasties. In 221 BC, Qin Shihuang unified China and ordered the formulation of a calendar. The twelfth month, when the old year turns into the new year at the end of winter and the beginning of spring, was called "La Yue" and the eighth day of the twelfth month was called "La Ri".
