With the arrival of the second month of the lunar calendar in 2022, we should not forget to check the almanac content of the day. The relevant articles on Shui Mo Xiansheng website will be revealed to you one by one!Do we offer sacrifices to the God of Thunder during the Jingzhe Festival?Yes, there is a custom of offering sacrifices to the God of Thunder on the day of Jingzhe.In Taiwan, the god of the Jingzhe solar term is "Leigong". According to legend, "Leigong" is a big bird that carries a hammer with him at all times. It is he who uses the hammer to create rumbling thunder to awaken all things on earth, and people know that spring has come. The Zhuang ethnic group also has a popular saying: "The biggest person in the sky is Lei Gong, and the biggest person underground is Ji Gong." In some areas of our country, it is also believed that during the Jingzhe solar term, the god of thunder often goes out to act, thunder roars from time to time, and it is forbidden for people to hold weddings. Anyone who violates this rule will be punished by the God of Thunder, their marriage will not go smoothly, and their family will not be happy. Therefore, in order to avoid taboos, people generally do not go on blind dates, get engaged, or get married during this period. When will the thunder of Jingzhe strike?There is actually no accurate explanation as to what causes the thunder on the day of the Jingzhe solar term. The time of thunder during the Jingzhe solar term varies in different regions, and some regions do not experience thunder during the period.Thunder is an important feature of the Jingzhe solar term. The ancients imagined that the Thunder God was a great god with a bird's beak, a human body and wings. He held a hammer in one hand and struck many celestial drums surrounding his body with the other hand, making a rumbling thunder. On the day of Jingzhe, the god of thunder beats the celestial drum in heaven, and people on earth also use this opportunity to cover the drum skins. In the "Zhou Li" Volume 40 "Hui Ren" chapter it says: "All the time, the drum must be beaten on the day of the awakening of hibernation." Note: "The awakening of hibernation is the first month of spring, when hibernating insects begin to move upon hearing thunder; drum is the symbol; and mao means covering the drum with leather." It can be seen that not only the ecology of insects is in harmony with the operation of the four seasons, but humans, the most intelligent creatures on earth, must also follow the will of nature, so that everything can be done with twice the result with half the effort. |
