Why can't you wear red clothes in this animal year?

First of all, in the culture of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, red has always symbolized happiness, auspiciousness, enthusiasm and solemnity.

Wearing red clothes when getting married, putting up red couplets and hanging red lanterns during the Chinese New Year, and using red candles when waxing the gods are all customs handed down and recognized by many people.

There are eight hexagrams in the ancient book Zhouyi, which are "dry, true, look, root, Kun, precept, reason and right".

Among them, "Li Gua" represents red and light, which belongs to fire in the five elements, while "fire is inflammation" and upward is Yang. Red belongs to yang, warm, bright and upward, and the opposition between yin and yang is fundamental. Red is to black, just like light and darkness, it is a restrictive relationship.

Moreover, people in the animal year are unlucky in the traditional saying. Red can ward off evil spirits and bad luck. Although superstitious, it is not difficult to wear red clothes, so many people do not reject it. However, it should be noted that not everyone can wear red clothes in their own animal year. We should combine the horoscope of our own generation and not "follow the trend"!

Secondly, the animal year is a year of "life is too old". "Too old, if you don't like it, you will be in trouble."

Therefore, wearing red in this animal year is also for good luck, so that "misfortune" is less and "happiness" is more. When people wear red clothes, they are often guided by their elders. They will prepare in advance for children to wear. This is also their intention, children wear it. Just like adults are always around, it will be very reassuring. It is not only beautiful, but also auspicious to wear red things on your body on holidays.

In the folk, those gentlemen of Yin and Yang will use red ink when writing symbols. It is said that they can deter "ghosts" and "drive away evil spirits".

When the child was young, he had many problems and kept crying. Wearing a camel hair long life lock wrapped with a red rope around the neck can also calm the nerves. Red is also the color of blood, and human life activities are closely related to blood, so red is also a symbol of life in a sense. Red is fresh and warm, just like life, trying to bloom and present.

Finally, personally, wearing red clothes in this animal year is more a kind of respect for traditional culture, on the other hand, it is also a long-standing reverence for ghosts and gods in China culture. Although we should believe in science now, we should not be so superstitious, but many times we would rather believe in it than believe in it. This is also the custom left by our predecessors, which is perfectly normal.
