According to the lunar calendar, it is okay to get married on the Winter Solstice of 2017!The fifth day of the eleventh month of the year 2017 in the lunar calendar is Friday, December 22, 2017 in the Gregorian calendar.

From the traditional perspective of solar terms, it is not suitable to get married on the Winter Solstice in 2017! The day before the four solstices and the spring equinox, autumn equinox, summer solstice and winter solstice is not a good day for weddings. The energy of the universe is in a chaotic state. Traditional customs believe that these are the four dead days and the four separation days, and it is unlucky to get married at these times. In addition, there are many taboos in choosing a date for marriage. For example, the third, seventh and ninth months of the lunar calendar need to be avoided. These three months coincide with "Qingming Festival", "Yulan Festival" and "Chonggong Festival" respectively, which are all traditional "Ghost Festivals" and are not suitable for holding weddings. "Marry someone in June and be married for half a year." June equals half a year, so getting married in June is a sign of "being married for half a year." At the same time, traditional numerology says that the wedding date should avoid the birthdays of both parties' parents. If the wedding date is the same as the parents' birthday, it will conflict and be detrimental to the happiness of both parties. What are the taboos during the Winter Solstice?After the winter solstice, the days begin to get longer and the Yang energy begins to be generated, so you need to rest and recuperate. That’s why there is a saying that you shouldn’t travel during the winter solstice.Sweeping the floor inside and outside the house is called "sweeping the floor of the previous year". The floor cannot be swept on the Winter Solstice. In Huzhou, it is taboo for the elderly and children to go to bed late on the winter solstice. It is believed that the yin energy is the heaviest on the night of the winter solstice while the yang energy of the elderly and children is insufficient, so they must go to bed early to avoid it, otherwise it will be unfavorable. In Henan Province, people avoid eating dumplings during the winter solstice, as otherwise their ears will freeze off and it will be bad for the harvest. As the saying goes, "If you don't celebrate the winter solstice (meaning you don't eat dumplings), there won't be a strong wind for threshing." In Hubei area, it is a taboo to have no rain. The proverb says: "If there is no rain at the Beginning of Winter, wait for the Winter Solstice; if there is no rain at the Winter Solstice, the whole winter will be sunny." It means that there will be a severe drought in the coming year. In Shaoxing, Zhejiang, it is taboo to curse, quarrel, or say unlucky words during the winter solstice. In Langwan, Yunnan, slaughtering animals is forbidden, and people in mourning are not allowed to enter the house. The winter solstice is the coldest day of the year. The Han people have the custom of eating dumplings on the winter solstice, commonly known as "ear comfort". People in Henan province avoid eating dumplings during the winter solstice, as they believe that doing so will freeze their ears off and be bad for the harvest. As the proverb goes, "If you don't eat dumplings during the winter solstice, there will be no wind to thresh the crops." It is taboo to have no rain during the winter solstice.
