Can’t I go back to my parents’ home during the winter solstice? What are the taboos during the Winter Solstice?
The Winter Solstice is one of the important festivals in my country. The customs and traditions on this day vary from place to place. So, can’t I go back to my parents’ home during the Winter Solstice? What are the taboos during the Winter Solstice? Shui Mo Xiansheng website has carefully compiled detailed information about the eleventh month of the lunar calendar in 2018. If you want to know about the auspiciousness and inauspiciousness of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, please come to Shui Mo Xiansheng website!Can’t I go back to my parents’ home during the winter solstice?In some cities in northern my country, it is believed that one cannot return to one’s parents’ home during the winter solstice. This is due to the overly traditional customs and the feudal ethics of "Three Obediences and Four Virtues" that restrict daughters-in-law. In the past, daughters-in-law would return to their parents' home after the autumn harvest, so there was a custom of returning to their husband's home during the winter solstice. Although it would be very difficult to have freedom if we still have to strictly abide by traditional customs in modern society, if family members are particularly concerned about these traditional customs, as the younger generations it is best for us to discuss it with the family members in a friendly manner. The Winter Solstice is a festival of reunion and we must not lose harmony with our family members because of it.What are the taboos during the winter solstice?Don’t get married during the winter solstice:Generally speaking, it is not suitable to get married before or after the solar terms. The ancients believed that the day before the four solstices and four solstices should be avoided when getting married. That is, the day before the Beginning of Spring, Beginning of Summer, Beginning of Autumn, Beginning of Winter and the Vernal Equinox, Autumnal Equinox, Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice cannot be used as the day because the energy field of the universe is in a chaotic state. Traditional customs believe that these are the four absolute days and the four separation days and it is unlucky to get married at these times. Usually we are very cautious in choosing an auspicious day for marriage, so the editor recommends that you avoid the winter solstice and choose another day, so that the marriage can have a better start that everyone can feel at ease and satisfied with. Don’t go out during the winter solstice: In the legend of the Winter Solstice, it’s not that you can’t go out, but that you can’t travel far. Because the day is the shortest on the winter solstice, there is a legend that this day is when the heavenly dog comes to the human world to look for an incarnation. So not only should you not travel far, you should also not walk around after dark. It is also said that when Pangu created the world, it was the winter solstice. At this time, because the sky had just been opened, all evil was at its root, and the world was wandering. However, in today's cities, the lights are bright at night, and people often come home late at night after work or study. It is unavoidable and there is no need to worry too much about it. Of course, if you can go home later, you can prevent the cold at night and various accidents. It is definitely safer than wandering outside at night. Winter Solstice is not Ghost Festival: Many people think that the Winter Solstice is the Ghost Festival. In fact, many festivals and solar terms with sacrificial customs are considered Ghost Festivals. However, there are only three recognized Ghost Festivals in my country: Qingming, Zhongyuan (the 15th day of the seventh lunar month), and Hanyi (the first day of the tenth lunar month). The winter solstice is the day with the shortest day and longest night in the northern hemisphere throughout the year. The ancients said that the winter solstice is when yin reaches its extreme and yang begins to be born. Many areas have the custom of offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors on the day of winter solstice. People usually go home early on that day because it gets dark early and the negative pole reaches its extreme, hence the term "Ghost Festival". |
