Where is the auspicious position of the God of Wealth on the second day of the second lunar month in 2017?
Introduction: "February 2nd Dragon Raising its Head" is one of my country's traditional festivals with a long history, and the custom was first formed in the Yuan Dynasty. China has been an agricultural country since ancient times, and the quality of climate plays a decisive role in agricultural harvests. This festival reflects the general public's expectation for spring rain, hoping that there will be enough rain in the spring to lay the foundation for a good harvest in the autumn. So, where is the God of Wealth on the day of Dragon Raising its Head in February 2017? Let’s take a look together! The first month of the lunar calendar is an important month. Let us pay attention to the traditional festivals and solar terms in the first month and have a good start of the month.Why does the dragon raise its head on the second day of the second month?Because the second month of the lunar calendar marks the mid-spring season, when the Yang energy rises, the earth revives, and the grass and trees sprout, farmers will start spring ploughing and sowing, and they need the soil to be moist and retain water. If it rains at this time, it is truly precious, so there is a saying that "spring rain is as precious as oil". From the perspective of solar terms, the beginning of February is between "Rain Water", "Qingzhe" and "Spring Equinox". This is a period when rain is needed and there is a possibility of rain. People hope to achieve the purpose of rain by praying to the dragon.Why does the dragon raise its head?Because early February is around the time of the Spring Equinox, all kinds of animals that have been dormant for a winter have regained their vitality and it is time for them to move around. The dragon raised its head, which means that the dragon has taken action to fulfill its duty of bringing rain. However, this statement is the general public's usual explanation of "The Dragon Raises its Head on the Second Day of the Second Month", which is easy to understand. However, there is also an ancient astronomical explanation for "Dragon Raising its Head", which is often overlooked. The ancients believed that the earth was stationary and it was the sun that was moving. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period or even earlier, people regarded the sun's annual motion trajectory among the stars as a circle, called the ecliptic. Then use certain stars to divide this circle into 28 equal parts, forming 28 intervals, called the Twenty-Eight Mansions. "宿" means to live. If you observe the movement of the moon, it basically stays in one of the 28 constellations for one night every day, and it takes about a month for all 28 constellations to take their turn, so it is called "Su". Divide these 28 constellations equally into the four directions of east, south, west and north, and there will be 7 constellations in each direction. These 28 constellations were all given names. The seven constellations in the east are called Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei and Ji. They form a group called the Eastern Azure Dragon. Among them, Jiao symbolizes the dragon's head and horns, Kang is the dragon's neck, Di is the dragon's chest, Fang is the dragon's belly, Xin is the dragon's heart, Wei and Ji are the dragon's tails. In winter, the seven stars of the Azure Dragon disappear below the horizon and cannot be seen after dusk. By early February, Spica appears on the eastern horizon at dusk. At this time, the whole body of the Canglong is still hidden below the horizon, and only the horns are beginning to appear, so it is called the Dragon Raising its Head. Shuowen Jiezi explains the word "dragon" as follows: "Dragon is the leader of scaled insects. It can be dark or bright, small or big, short or long. It ascends to the sky at the spring equinox and dives into the abyss at the autumnal equinox." All of these refer to the appearance and disappearance of the seven Canglong constellations in the sky, not that there is really an animal dragon changing. "Ascending to the sky during the Spring Equinox" means that during the Spring Equinox, the constellations of Capricorn begin to appear in the sky and the blue dragon in the east begins to show its head, which is the dragon raising its head.When is February 2nd in 2017?February 27, 2017 (Monday, the second day of the second lunar month)The position of the God of Wealth on February 2, 2017The direction of the God of Wealth on February 2, 2017 is due east.
