First, the meaning of the animal year

In the lunar calendar, the animal year refers to the year when the five elements return, that is, the 60-year animal year. At present, we live in a cycle of 12 years. After 12 years, the year that belongs to the zodiac is our animal year, also called the animal year.

In the traditional concept of China people, the year of birth is usually considered as an unlucky year, because the prisoner is too old. Folk proverb, "crime is too old these days, and taking the lead is too old." If you don't like it, you will be in trouble. This is the truest portrayal of an unlucky year. We all know that we can't break ground on the head of Tai Sui, otherwise there will be no good fruit to eat. In this animal year, we will all rush with Tai Sui. Can we have good fruit to eat? Folk also call the year of birth "the year of children", which means that spending the year of birth is like crossing a threshold, and the past is a bright future.

Red is an auspicious color, it has a sign of ward off evil spirits and welcoming good luck. So every animal year, we will receive different kinds of red gifts, pinning the good wishes of people around us. Children wear new red clothes, adults add red decorations, and old people wear red vests, which means good luck and smooth life. In the traditional thinking, it is generally believed that this practice can seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, seek good fortune and avoid evil, protect people's health and avoid disasters.

Every Spring Festival, we can see a dazzling array of goods in the market, including many red objects, such as "auspicious belt", "auspicious bracelet" and "red bracelet". People in this animal year can buy one or two of these, take them with them, bless themselves and seek peace. This is a good sign.

Second, explain the meaning of the animal year on the zodiac.

Zodiac culture has a long history, which originated from the heavenly stems and earthly branches calendar invented by China in ancient times, including ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches. These twelve earthly branches correspond to the zodiac signs. Everyone remembers that from the year of birth, every 12 years, he will meet a year. His zodiac sign is the same as his own, and this year is the animal year.

The zodiac in the eight-character numerology refers to the earthly branch where people are born; The animal year is the earthly branch of birth. When the earthly branch of the animal year meets the earthly branch of the same year of the animal year, that is to say, the earthly branch meets repeatedly, numerology says that this matter is "Yin Fu". Those who lie down are said to have been subdued. This year, my own destiny has been suppressed, and things are easily blocked.

There is a saying in Zhouyi that "singing the devil's advocate and crying for Linlin", which also implies that there will always be some unlucky things in this animal year. These setbacks may appear in life, health, study, career and other aspects. As soon as they appear, you will feel difficult to move forward and feel uncomfortable and painful.

The animal year is a bumpy year. Friends in this animal year may encounter more setbacks than in normal years, but we don't have to be discouraged, treat them with a normal heart, and we will live our animal year happily.
