2024 is unusual. Is it superstition that the old people in rural areas say that "in a year without spring, one is suitable and three is not suitable"?

2024 is a year without spring, which is not suitable for climbing mountains, getting married, building houses and moving. This statement is superstitious. Don't believe it.

There will be no beginning of spring in 2024, which is also called Widowhood Year, which means that there will be no solar terms in beginning of spring in a year. There are many kinds of arguments about avoiding the year without spring, among which "one is suitable and three are not suitable" is the more popular one. But this statement has no scientific basis, belongs to superstition and should not be believed.

First, it refers to mountain climbing, which is suitable for outdoor activities and physical exercise; Third, it is not suitable for getting married, building a house or moving. This argument is based on the fact that in the year without spring, the atmosphere between heaven and earth is rather chaotic, and at this time, some important activities, such as getting married, building a house, moving, etc. , may be adversely affected, leading to unlucky consequences.

This statement has no scientific basis. First of all, the solar terms in beginning of spring are not the decisive factors that affect human life. Human life is influenced by many factors, including climate, environment, culture, economy and so on. Although beginning of spring occupies an important position in the 24 solar terms, its influence on human life is not decisive.

There is no scientific evidence that getting married, building a house or moving in a spring-free year will bring unlucky results. The results of these behaviors are influenced by many factors and cannot be simply attributed to the role of a solar term.

Introduce a spring-free year

In ancient times, agriculture was the foundation, and beginning of spring was the beginning of farming and an important festival. Traditionally, the ceremony of "persuading farmers" was held from the imperial palace to the local area, and many places still have the custom of "dancing spring cattle". Traditionally, farmers believe that the weather on this day is also related to the development of agriculture in a year.

There are related folk songs in many places in China. It is believed that when the weather was fine in spring, agriculture would flourish all year round. We can't have a bumper harvest this year on a cloudy day. This shows the importance of this solar term in beginning of spring. Moreover, the ancients often associated beginning of spring with fertility, which may be the reason why "no spring" makes people feel unlucky, or "double spring" makes people feel particularly good.

In the past, many sayings and traditional customs were due to the low level of productivity in farming society and related to offering sacrifices to gods. With the development of productive forces, now even offering sacrifices to gods has added more entertainment elements. As for the traditional sayings such as "good luck in double spring" and "unfavorable marriage without spring", they have neither scientific basis nor statistical significance. They are superstitious sayings, so you don't have to take them seriously. The above contents are for reference only.
