Some people say that year of the snake should not wear red in this animal year. I bought many red ones. Can I wear it?

20 13 is the year of the snake of the lunar calendar. Recently, someone on the Internet solemnly said that "20 13 is a fire year of the snake, and people in the animal year don't have to buy red clothes, including socks and belts." In addition, some people speculate that "20 13 is a year without spring and widowhood", and astronomical experts refute this statement one by one.

In an interview with reporters, Dr. Wang Yumin from Beijing Ancient Observatory said that according to heavenly stems and earthly branches's calculation, 20 13 in China is the year of Ghost Division, in which the year of Ghost Division is heavenly stem, belonging to the northern water, black in color and territorial branch, belonging to the southeast, representing the snakes in the zodiac, so the year of Ghost Division is year of the snake. Sixty Jiazi is a very old method of chronology in China. Later, people put sixty jiazi, five elements and genera together, and the fourth year should be a "snake in the water."

In the traditional culture of China, the five-element fortune-telling connects sixty jiazi with five elements with different attributes, which is called "sixty jiazi's life is sweet", such as "Jiazi's ugliness is golden in the sea, Bingyin Dingmao's furnace is on fire, Chen Wu's big forest", and so on, and it is "a thousand miles away". Therefore, the water in these four years is long running water, which is a kind of yin water, rain dew water and nourishes everything. The ancient book says, "If the running water is long and the gangsters are endless, they will go to the southeast", and the corresponding people would rather move than be quiet.

"But the above statement belongs to the mysticism in the traditional culture of China, which was originally used for divination and fortune telling." Dr. Wang stressed that if citizens are interested, they can learn about it. This is auspicious, but there is really no scientific basis.
