As early as the Western Han Dynasty, there was a saying of "Animal Year", which has been passed down to this day. "Animal year"? Different places have slightly different ways of understanding and avoiding evil spirits, and their ornaments are also various, but their main function and purpose are only one, that is, "avoiding evil spirits"? .
The ancients believed that in the animal year, the patron saint of the zodiac would pay homage to heaven. At this time, the protection of people will be weakened, and evil spirits will take advantage of it. And red can ward off evil spirits, so people will wear red clothes and wear red belts. Therefore, people wear red clothes and wear red belts to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters, which was later carried forward by people. Even underwear and socks should be red, as well as red insoles and stepping on villains, all of which express people's desire to avoid evil spirits.
In traditional customs, the Year of the Animal is usually considered as an unlucky year. Those folk song collectors who say that "the year of birth is too old, and it is too old to take the lead. If there is no blessing, there will be disaster" is the best portrayal of the unlucky year of birth. Therefore, people usually call "the year of birth", that is, passing the year of birth is like stepping into a threshold. People in the animal year tie it around their waist and wrists, which can eliminate disasters and turn them into benefits.
Wearing red is the most common and popular custom in the animal year. In China, red has always been a favorite color. Generally speaking, it is always inseparable to use red things to set off the festive atmosphere on holidays or when encountering festive events. And I think there will be a lot of bad things in this animal year. It means that wearing red items can be smooth in the animal year and will not be so unlucky. This statement and practice has been circulating since ancient times.
However, be careful to use red in the animal year. Red belts, red ropes, red underwear and even special red clothes, but this may not be suitable for everyone. Because if I don't like red, it may not be useful. No one in a person's life is smooth sailing, and some unlucky things will happen to him. So, keep a normal heart. But if the animal year starts badly, you should be more careful in the next month, because there may be resistance. So be careful, it is always good to avoid right and wrong, and doing more good things will pay off.
