What is the emphasis on the fourth day of the fourth lunar month?

Pay attention to the following points on the fourth day of the fourth lunar month:

1, welcome Vesta Day, don't go far.

As the old saying goes, "leaving is three, six, nine." What does this mean? It is said that if a person wants to travel far away, he usually chooses the days with "369", such as the third day, the thirteenth day, the twenty-third day and so on, for good luck.

Why don't you go away? It is said that Kitchen God never came back after the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. It was not until the fourth day of the first month that he came to earth and returned home. The first thing is to check the population, whether they are all at home, and check by name.

Therefore, in the old tradition, don't travel far, don't go too far when you have something to go out, and come back in time. In fact, it also means family reunion and enjoying a better life.

2, eat a discount, don't waste food.

From ancient times to the present, from top to bottom, it has been emphasized to save food, cherish food, manage the family diligently and make a fortune, which often becomes a beautiful talk between people.

Why not waste food on the fourth day? During the Spring Festival, when families get together, the most common thing is a lot of vegetables, which are definitely not edible. It's been four days from New Year's Eve to New Year's Eve, and there are many leftovers. Even if the weather is cold, it may deteriorate quickly.

What should you do? The ancients left a good tradition, which is a model of cherishing and saving food. In order not to waste, people call this day "Zheluori", which means putting all the food together to form a hodgepodge and stew it in one pot, so that everyone can have a good meal.

Don't kill sheep or eat mutton on sheep day.

From the first day to the sixth day of the lunar calendar, it is called Six Livestock Day. It is said that Nu Wa Niangniang first created six kinds of animals, and on the seventh day, in order to ensure food supply, she recreated human beings.

Therefore, on the fourth day of the fourth lunar month, it is called "Sheep Day". That is, the day the sheep was born, the day the sheep was born, and the sheep was created from this day. Therefore, there is a saying on this day that "Three Yang's prosperity is auspicious", because "Yang" and "Yang" are homonyms, and "Yang" and "Auspicious" are homonyms, meaning good luck.

Therefore, because it is the birthday of sheep, people often prohibit killing sheep and eating mutton on this day. The new year is auspicious, prosperous and auspicious.
