Is it a good idea to get married on the fifth day of the eleventh lunar month in 2017, the winter solstice?

It is not suitable to get married on the fifth day of the eleventh lunar month in 2017, the winter solstice!
1. The time of the winter solstice in 2017 is 00:27:53 on December 22, which is the fifth day of the eleventh month in the lunar calendar of 2017. According to the lunar calendar of the winter solstice in 2017, we know that day is not an auspicious day for marriage.
2. Winter Solstice, the 22nd solar term among the 24 solar terms. According to folk belief, the aura is in a chaotic state around the winter solstice, so this is not a good time to get married.
3. The day before the Spring Equinox, Autumnal Equinox, Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice among the 24 solar terms in each season is the Four Separation Days. The four days of separation, which are the ten days that divide a season, were considered unlucky by the ancients. The day before the beginning of spring, summer, autumn and winter among the twenty-four solar terms in the four seasons is considered the four days of separation. The four Lis represent the beginning of the four seasons, and the four Jue represent the end of the four seasons. The ancients were afraid of exhaustion and concluded that it was unlucky. Therefore, if you do not choose the day among the four separation days or the four absolute days to do big things, it will generally be of no benefit. It is the day when new officials take over and old officials retire. Generally, there will be no one in charge, which is considered unlucky. It can be used as a day for job transfers.
The winter solstice in 2017 is one of the four auspicious days, so according to tradition, getting married at this time is unlucky and will affect future luck.

What is the origin of the 2017 Winter Solstice?

According to records from the Zhou Dynasty, people used the winter solstice to go to the suburbs to worship the sky. Because the first month of the Zhou calendar is the eleventh month of the Xia calendar, the first month of the Zhou Dynasty is equivalent to our current eleventh month. Therefore, there was no difference between celebrating the New Year and celebrating the winter solstice. It was not until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted the Xia calendar that the first month and the winter solstice were separated. Therefore, it can also be said that the "Winter Festival" has only been celebrated since the Han Dynasty, flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, and has been passed down to this day.
During the Tang and Song dynasties, the Winter Solstice was the day to offer sacrifices to heaven and ancestors. The emperor would go to the suburbs to hold a grand ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven, and the people would worship their parents and elders on this day. Even now, some places still celebrate the Winter Solstice.
Because of the difference in calendars, people have been inheriting the Zhou calendar, believing that the year begins again after the winter solstice (which is why there is a saying that one will be one year older after eating Yuanzi). This is why the winter solstice is so important to the people. However, this erroneous inheritance has led to a great discrepancy between the people's concepts and the Xia calendar currently used in the study of choosing auspicious days. This erroneous concept should be corrected and the correct calendar should be passed down.
