As the saying goes, "people are afraid of life, and death is afraid of the twelfth lunar month." What are the taboos of the twelfth lunar month? Why are you afraid?

The twelfth lunar month has a unique significance among the people, especially in the northern region. After entering the twelfth lunar month, the atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, and the customs and taboos are becoming more and more exquisite.

Besides, there are many proverbs about the twelfth lunar month. For example, people are afraid of being born in the twelfth lunar month and dying in the twelfth lunar month. Friends in many places have heard of this sentence, especially the elderly in the northern region, and have different views on this sentence.

In this article, the author will talk in detail about the meaning of the sentence "People are afraid to be born in the twelfth lunar month and die in the twelfth lunar month". What are the taboos of the twelfth lunar month? Isn't it good to be born in the twelfth month? Everyone will have an answer after reading it.

Let's talk about the first half of the sentence, "People are afraid to be born in the twelfth lunar month."

This half sentence means that it is not bad for people who are more afraid of being born in the twelfth lunar month, but for parents, children born in the twelfth lunar month are more afraid of being born in the twelfth lunar month because of the cold weather.

It used to be cold in winter, so people didn't have particularly good measures to keep warm.

From the perspective of housing, in the past, most ordinary families were thatched huts or earthen houses, which were not warm inside and would be very cold in winter.

From the perspective of dressing, there were no down jackets and warm clothes before. For adults, winter is cold, not to mention newborn children.

Judging from household appliances, most families now have air conditioning. Even if it is cold outside in winter, they will feel warm after turning on the air conditioner indoors.

In the past, this was different. In the past, there were no electrical appliances. Most families rely on stoves to keep warm, and some even have no stoves. If a child is born at home, it will be even more painful.

To sum up the above points, in the past, if children were born in the twelfth lunar month (especially in the northern region), parents were more worried about suffering (mothers also suffered). Therefore, there is a saying that "people are afraid of being born in the twelfth lunar month".

Besides, the second half of the sentence is "I'm afraid of dying in the twelfth lunar month"

This half sentence literally explains that people are more afraid of the dead in the twelfth lunar month. This is not to say that the dead are afraid, but that the living are afraid.

From the weather point of view, the twelfth lunar month is the coldest month of the year. In many rural areas, if there is a deceased person in the family, it needs to be parked at home for three days before being buried. These three days, people have to wake up at night and can't sleep, ensuring that people wake up 24 hours a day.

The weather in December is very cold. In addition, the previous conditions were limited, and there was basically no particularly good warm-keeping equipment. So, at night, I feel very cold and afraid of people who die in the twelfth lunar month.

From the atmosphere, it is a festive atmosphere to buy new year's goods and prepare for the New Year after entering the twelfth lunar month. The Spring Festival pays attention to reunion, and family reunion is the best atmosphere for the New Year.

If someone dies in the twelfth lunar month, they will be immersed in a sad atmosphere, which they don't want to see.

So there is a saying that "the twelfth lunar month is afraid of death".

Seeing this, I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of the sentence "People are afraid of being born in the twelfth lunar month, and they are also afraid of dying in the twelfth lunar month". In addition to the above explanations, there are folk sayings of feng shui and luck.

For example, because of the cold weather, the twelfth lunar month belongs to the season with the strongest yin and the weakest yang. If a child is born in the twelfth lunar month, it is easy to form an "early death" or a bad fate in the future.

From today's scientific point of view, the saying that "people are afraid to live in the twelfth lunar month and die in the twelfth lunar month" is untenable. Nowadays, with the popularization of air conditioning and heating, people are no longer afraid of the cold in winter, and they are no longer afraid of people who die in the twelfth lunar month. This is human nature.

Every year in the twelfth lunar month, many people are born and die. As for the future fate, we still need our own efforts.
