What is widowhood?

Among the 24 solar terms of that year, there was no "beginning of spring". In folk custom, it was called the "blind spring" year, the "widow spring" year, also known as the "widow year".

There is a folk legend about "next year is the year of the widow and it is not suitable to get married." Experts warn: "The Year of the Widow" is not the "Year of the Widow", and rushing to prepare for a wedding will put tremendous pressure on the family and society.

Professor Wang of Sociology at Putian University said: "This is a statement made up by 'Mr. Feng Shui' and has no scientific basis." There is no "beginning of spring" in the Year of the Rooster, which is a coincidence of the replacement of the solar calendar and the lunar calendar. For example, some years have leap months. After several years of conversion from old to new years, there will inevitably be years without a "beginning of spring". This is a very natural phenomenon and is not a "widow's year" at all. Rushing for a marriage will not only cause social and family pressure due to sudden large consumption, but will also lead to an increase in the number of children born in certain years and an imbalance in the population birth rate ratio, which will have a greater impact on the future enrollment, enrollment and employment of these children. pressure. For this reason, Professor Wang appeals to young lovers, especially young couples who plan to get married in advance, not to listen to rumors that have no scientific basis, but to plan their weddings calmly and consciously stop the rush to hold weddings.
