For more details about the 2018 Lunar New Year calendar, please visit the Fortune Teller website for consultation!What date is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year in 2018?The new calendar date of the eighth day of the first lunar month in 2018 is February 23, 2018;The eighth day is the day of fortune-telling and the Shunxing Festival. According to Chinese folklore, this day is the day when all the stars descend to the earth, when the stars in the sky are at their fullest. It is the time for elders to teach their children and grandchildren to identify the stars. It is very cold in the first month of the lunar year and one cannot stand in the yard for a long time. The only way to really recognize the stars is in the summer nights. On this day, one mainly learns about "astronomy" by reading the names of the stars listed on the "Star God Horse" invited from the incense and candle shop. The Shunxing Festival star worship ceremony is held at night. Rich families put up 108 lanterns, while ordinary families can put up 49 lanterns, and the minimum is 9, representing the nine fortune-telling stars: the sun, moon, water, fire, wood, metal, earth, Luo Hou and Ji Du. The lamp bowl is shaped like a small goblet, made of clay or copper, with soybean oil inside, and the wick is made of "lamp flower paper". After worshiping the "Star God Horse", the housewife will place these lanterns on the desks, kang edges, cabinets in the bedroom, kitchen, and living room, as well as on the steps, corners, and doorways in the courtyard, just like a candlelight party, and it is called "scattered lanterns". At this time, among this mysterious group of lanterns, the elders should tell their children and grandchildren the truth that "time is money" and the importance of "being cautious when alone", because "the stars that shine on one's fate" are always watching everyone's every move, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself." Scattering lanterns are extremely romantic, allowing you to look forward to and imagine until all the lanterns are burned out. Then, after the whole family says "Happy New Year" to each other, the lights can be turned back on and firecrackers can be set off. The pine branches in the "money basin" in the yard are lit, just like a bonfire, which makes people think of different things. What are the taboos on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year?Avoid watching red weddings <br /> In ancient times, few couples got married in the first month of the lunar calendar. In ancient times, there was a saying that "raising one's head in red" meant that if a couple got married in the first month of the lunar calendar, it would be the Tai Sui of the lunar calendar that would suppress their heads and be unfavorable to their children and grandchildren. Therefore, few couples got married in the first month of the lunar calendar.Avoid breaking objects <br /> Breaking bowls, plates, cups, and dishes on this day means that you will have "bad luck" this year. The remedy is to wrap them in red paper, chant auspicious words such as "peace every year", and place them on the altar for a few days to resolve the disaster. You can also wrap the broken pieces in red paper and throw them into the river after the New Year, chanting "Break the porcelain and get a pile of money and silver". The rice jar must not be left empty <br /> to avoid running out of food during the year. This is called "accumulating wealth". On New Year's Eve, no water tank, big or small, can be empty. After it is filled, a well-sealing ceremony is held in the countryside. That is, cover the well surface with a large dustpan and then worship the well god. The winnowing basket cannot be opened on the first day of the New Year, because people tend to regard water as wealth water, and once the winnowing basket is opened, water will be used. |
