Do you post Spring Festival couplets on New Year's Eve?
If you don't post it on the 30th of the twelfth lunar month, you can only push it forward, on the 29th or 28th of the twelfth lunar month. But this year, the 29th of the twelfth lunar month is a "day of death", so it is not suitable to post Spring Festival couplets. I don't know if there is such a saying. It was the day before beginning of spring, Changchun, beginning of autumn and beginning of winter, and it was also called the "Four Wonders". It sounds scary, but it's actually just a short expression. According to the ancient tradition of China, after beginning of spring, the earth warmed up, everything revived, glaciers began to melt, and winter passed, that is, winter was "extinct"; After the long summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the buds in spring have all turned into green leaves, so spring is "absolute"; After beginning of autumn, the weather gradually turned cold, not as hot as summer, and summer was "absolute"; It's getting colder and colder after beginning of winter, which shows that autumn has passed.
In beginning of spring on New Year's Eve this year, the 29th of the twelfth lunar month is the day before beginning of spring, and it is one of the "four wonders". Although literally it just means that winter is coming and spring is coming, it is called "Jue", but the word "Jue" is always not a good word in people's minds, especially during the New Year, it is not good to say "Jue" and "Jue", so most people in rural areas will not choose this day to post Spring Festival couplets.
There should be many places to post Spring Festival couplets on New Year's Eve. Only a few places have customs. It may be the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, or it may be that there is no time to post it one day in advance on New Year's Eve. So it's best to avoid the 29th this year. After all, "Never Day" sounds scary, so it is better to post "beginning of spring" in the bright spring.
Our village is in the North China Plain, and we have an old saying here called "Avoid on unlucky days", which is what we are talking about.
The Spring Festival is coming. In previous years, my brother and I posted Spring Festival couplets on the afternoon of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, sometimes on the morning of the 30th of the twelfth lunar month. For several years, my mother told me not to post Spring Festival couplets on "Farewell Day", which was unlucky, but we never took it seriously, and my mother only mentioned it.
This year's sunset in beginning of spring falls on February 4th, that is, on the 30th of the twelfth lunar month, creating a special year, that is, there are beginning of spring solar terms at both ends of the 20 18 lunar year, and there are no beginning of spring solar terms in the 20 19 lunar year. Old people in the village often say "widowed years, never getting married", which means that a year without beginning of spring solar terms is called "dumb spring" and "blind spring". In fact, these statements have no scientific reason. A year without beginning of spring is just a coincidence caused by the time difference between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar. Many times, the villagers are just joking, and not many people really take it seriously.
It is easy to understand that there are four days in a year: one day is the day before beginning of spring, the last day before spring comes and the earth recovers, and the last day of winter, so it is called "winter". Similarly, the day before this day is called "Spring Festival" in the long summer, "Summer Festival" in autumn and "Autumn Festival" in winter.
In addition, according to the five elements theory of the ancients, beginning of spring is prosperous after wood, but water is absolutely; After the long summer, the fire is flourishing and the wood is absolutely dead; After beginning of autumn, Jin Wang caught fire; When winter begins, the water is very strong, so gold will be lost. Therefore, the day before "Li Si" was called "Awakening Day". So there is a saying that the sun will never shine.
The ancients believed that the absolute day was not suitable for fighting and traveling. Now it seems that the ancients actually wanted to get a good title by luck.
Few people in the village will pay special attention to the saying "farewell day" now, but around the Spring Festival, people will celebrate with the whole family and have a good time, so people will pay special attention to these things and try to avoid posting Spring Festival couplets on "farewell day". People think this day is unlucky, especially when the word "unique" appears badly. Spring Festival couplets are posted to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, so they will be posted one day in advance.
Similarly, there is also a saying of "leaving Japan", that is, the day before the vernal equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox and winter solstice, the older generation thinks that "leaving Japan" is not suitable for marriage. Now, it seems to have something to do with this word.
Therefore, whether it is "never going to the sun" or "leaving the sun", it is just people's yearning and expectation for a better life, and these things themselves have no scientific reason.

There are still a few days before the Spring Festival. During the Chinese New Year, all places are very happy. Many people who work in other places will definitely go back to their hometown on New Year's Eve, so that they can have a family reunion on New Year's Eve. Of course, there are also many taboos during the Chinese New Year. Some things are best not to be done during the Spring Festival, such as sweeping out the garbage at home on the morning of New Year's Day and killing things on the first day. This is not a good sign among the people. The 29th of the twelfth lunar month is the last day, and Spring Festival couplets will be posted on the 28th. When I was a child, I heard the old people in the village say this, but the meaning was actually very simple.
Jueri refers to beginning of spring, Changxia, beginning of autumn and beginning of winter. The reason why there will be a sleep day is set according to the five elements. In spring, wood can get the opportunity to grow, but because of the absorption of wood, the water quantity will be greatly reduced; When the temperature rises in summer, it is fire, and the growth of trees will have problems ... so will autumn and winter. What we are talking about here is the principle of circulation and mutual restriction.
This year's Spring Festival happens to be in beginning of spring, which means that everything will regain its vitality and vitality, but it will lose a lot of water. This is the so-called "extinction of wood and water". From ancient times to the present, people think that Four Days is not suitable for traveling, because it describes the disappearance of unlucky things, and no one has said that it is not suitable for posting couplets. It's just that most people have taboos in their hearts, thinking that such a day has a bad meaning with the word "Jue".
The Spring Festival couplets are posted to highlight the joy of the festival. If we want to go back a little bit, it is because we have to resist a very terrible monster year. Most families put up Spring Festival couplets on New Year's Eve without much pressure. Sticking Spring Festival couplets in beginning of spring is mainly taboo. Now, there is no need to worry too much. Just treat them with a normal heart.
This year's twelfth lunar month is the last day, and the Spring Festival couplets will be posted on the 28th. Do you know what this means?
Speaking auspicious words and exchanging greetings and blessings during the Spring Festival has become a natural custom of our Chinese nation. However, it is just a Chinese New Year custom imagined by the questioner.
They live three or five miles, each with its own local flavor. Different regions have different customs. There are 56 ethnic groups in China, and their Chinese New Year customs are also different. Some ethnic groups don't celebrate China New Year.
Take the folk custom of posting Spring Festival couplets in the New Year as an example: the southeast and northwest are also different. My hometown is in Jiangnan. As long as I can remember, the date of posting Spring Festival couplets is the same every year, which has been inherited to this day. Every household puts up Spring Festival couplets on the 30th of the twelfth lunar month, hangs lanterns, worships gods and ancestors, reunites with their families, sets off firecrackers, eats New Year's Eve and celebrates the New Year.
I have never seen the Spring Festival couplets posted in advance on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month to drive away disasters. The questioner is simply making up stories-telling gobbledygook-cheating ghosts!
2008 is a festival based on Wanli, and there is no inevitable connection between beginning of spring and the Decisive Day. In some years, people celebrate China New Year many days after beginning of spring, and in other years, China New Year passes many days before beginning of spring. If the Spring Festival is set according to the absolute date, then the festival and year (Spring Festival) inferred by ancient people according to the five elements of heaven and earth are not chaotic! The Spring Festival is the age of human beings, and the absolute day is the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The climate change of the 24 solar terms is also the rhythm pattern of work, rest, life and entertainment summarized by the ancients according to the climate of one year. (Absolute Day is an annual climate change day, and Chinese New Year is a record of people's age. Climate and year (Chinese New Year) are two different things. How can you confuse them!
Rural rules and regulations have their own customs.
As time goes by, the sun and the moon cycle.
Day after day, year after year.
How come there is no perfect day?
Beginning of spring in spring and long summer in summer.
Beginning of autumn in autumn and beginning of winter in winter.
Beginning of spring, Changxia, beginning of autumn, beginning of winter,
It's all about climate change
There are four seasons in a year, and they change.
Spring begins with spring, so we should sow in spring.
Summer, long summer, melons and fruits are on the market.
There is beginning of autumn in autumn, and the crops go into the granary.
There is beginning of winter in winter, and it is freezing.
There are four seasons and 24 solar terms in a year.
The climate changes every season, and so do the seasons.
It is warm in spring, hot in summer, cool in autumn and cold in early winter.
May you obey God's will and live a happy life.
