What is the traditional year?

In traditional customs, the Year of the Ox is usually considered as an unlucky year. The so-called "animal year" is the year of 12 that meets the lunar year, commonly known as the Year of the Zodiac. People in the Year of the Ox usually tie auspicious belts around their waists and wrists, which can eliminate disasters and turn evil into good luck.

In fact, "Tai Sui" is actually a celestial body assumed by ancient people. It is recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that Tai Sui is a single-celled organism, which looks like a mass of meat, grows in moist soil and can be eaten and used as medicine. Folk call Tai Sui Tai Sui God, the most powerful god among the gods, who is in charge of the fortune of mankind for one year and controls the gods.

There are 60 Tai Sui strategists, and each Tai Sui has its own name. The sequence is worth several years and will continue. If the age of ordinary people is the same as the annual value, it is called the age of the offender, and the hedge of the age of the offender is called the age of the offender. Legend has it that if you are too old, your wealth is uncertain all year round, your health is poor, and it is easy to break your wealth, which makes officials unhappy and hindered.
