"If you don't do it on the first day of July, the family will prosper and everything will go well."

What day of the first day of the seventh lunar month does this proverb refer to?

It is said that the first day of the seventh lunar month is the day of the mainland lunar calendar, and it is one of the four major news known as the "ghost door is wide open", so what are the taboos?

What are the things that people are going to do on this day?

The "Ghost Moon" begins, the day of ancestor worship.

The seventh month of the mainland lunar calendar is called the "ghost month" because it occupies two-thirds of the time in this month.

The seventh month of the lunar calendar is also known as one of the "ghost gates", because this day has a special meaning.

At this time, the dog days have just arrived, the ancients called this day as the day of "opening the door of the earth", and there is a proverb that says: "If you don't do it on the first day of the seventh month, the family will prosper and everything will go well."

belongs to the day of "the ghost door is open", why is there still something to do to worship ancestors?

This is because the seventh month of the lunar calendar is also for ancestor worship in the traditional sense, and it is also for the return of the dead outside the ghost gate.

This day is also the day when the door god leaves the door, so in order to let the people in the family return to their homes, people will worship their ancestors at noon, and this day is also known as "Obon".

It is also a day to pay homage to ancestors, and people burn paper and prepare food for their ancestors and deceased relatives.

"If you don't do it on the first day of July, the family is prosperous and everything goes well", on the first day of July, what 4 things should not be done?

Because of the worship of ancestors on this day, people also pay great attention to the auspiciousness of this day, and will do nothing during the day and wait for the family to come home, and at the same time, they will also pay great attention to avoid evil spirits.

Therefore, some people have summed up the "4 don'ts" on the first day of July, so what are these four things?

What does it mean?

4. If you don't do it, everything will go well.

The four major things not to do on the first day of the seventh month are not to return late.

People know that there is yang and yin in nature, and at night when the sun goes down, and in July it is also the dog days, when the yin energy rises, and the dog days are also the hottest time of summer.

Because the dog days are very hot, people not only do not go out during this time, but even some elderly people in the family will be forbidden to live, because the heat is easy to make some physical problems attack, so the elderly do not go out at home to prevent illness, and the ancestors are also sacrificed to the ancestors in this dog day to express the awe of God to the ancestors.

"If you don't do it on the first day of July, the family is prosperous and everything goes well", on the first day of July, what 4 things should not be done?

Therefore, the meaning of not letting the late return also comes out, because when the evening comes, the yin qi on the earth is getting thicker and thicker, and the places where the yin qi is strong may hide ghosts, and people may come into contact with ghosts, so in order to avoid late return and let the people at home avoid fright, the first thing to do on the first day of the seventh month is not to return late.

"If you don't do it on the first day of July, the family is prosperous and everything goes well", on the first day of July, what 4 things should not be done?

And the second thing is not to walk at night, for the same reason as the meaning of not returning late, the yin qi will also get heavier and heavier at night, so in order to prevent accidentally walking to a place with heavy yin qi, it is best to go home before it gets dark, so as to avoid accidentally walking into a place with heavy yin qi.

In addition, at night, it is also a time for ghosts to haunt, so it is easier to intersect yin and yang.

The third thing is not to go to the river to swim, the reason is also for their own safety, July is the most rainy season that is the most prone to flooding, and in many areas of the mainland, there is a phenomenon of heavy rain, the river water level at this time is very high, so it is not suitable to swim in the river, otherwise it will be accidentally washed away by the flood.

At the same time, you can't take a bath, because on this special day, even if you go to the river to take a bath, you can't guarantee that it is safe, and if you are not careful, there may be a safety accident, so don't go to the river to swim or bathe, which is also the third thing to do on the first day of July.

So the last thing to do is not to steal the sacrifices, every time the ancestors are sacrificed in July is a more solemn thing, so now in order to show respect for the ancestors, the sacrifices cannot be deducted, and the person who steals the sacrifices will be punished, so this is also what people must do on the first day of the seventh month.

Each of these four things is very important, people need to worship their ancestors on the first day of July, and at the same time, they need to take more precautions for their own safety, so these four things to do on this day have been summarized again.

But with the development of the times, people may change these taboos, such as returning late and walking at night, if you don't go back at night when you're on Yangmingshan, then there's no problem, but if it's in the quiet mountains, then try not to return late and walk at night.

These are the joys that the people reap during the day in July, but what about at night?

After nightfall, the people open the doors and windows of their homes, so that the yin or fishy smell in the home can be dispersed through the windows, and by the way, the home can also be ventilated, which is very comfortable and pleasant.

At the same time, they will also stew some fresh fruit dishes to treat their taste buds, enjoy the food, summer heat, eat more fresh food and sweat is conducive to detoxification and clear the fire, and the health of the body can also be guaranteed.

A traditional culture of tolerance and innovation.

It is precisely because of the changes of the times that people's understanding of these taboos is constantly changing, such as people's understanding of ghosts and traditional festivals, everyone has their own set of ideas in their hearts, some people think that ghosts are a manifestation of people's bad attitude towards life, and some people think that as long as their lives are not violating others, then there is no need to be afraid of provoking ghosts.

But on the other hand, it is true, but why would we rather protect ourselves like a rabbit than be a very self-disciplined person, so our understanding of traditional festivals and taboos should be treated with a tolerant attitude, and at the same time, when making behaviors, we should also consider more.

"If you don't do it on the first day of July, the family is prosperous and everything goes well", on the first day of July, what 4 things should not be done?

epilogue

Although there are many taboos on this day, it is also a very particular day, so we must seize the time, not only to worship the ancestors, but also to pray for the safety and auspiciousness of ourselves and our families.

If we don't care too much about these, but these are also historical accumulations, so we must respect history, not laugh at them.

The birth of every traditional festival has its profound historical significance, so sometimes we don't force everyone to believe in it, but we still have to respect everyone's behavior, everyone has their own way of life, so don't have unnecessary negative emotions because of other people's behaviors and their own customs, but look at and treat them with a rational attitude.
