The Year of the Golden Pig in 2007 is a once-in-60-year year, so it is a rare auspicious year! Actually, it doesn't make sense to think about it carefully. Every year of these 60 years is different. Why is the Year of the Golden Pig so special? It's just a superstition.
However, some people are very concerned, especially some young mothers, who want to have a golden pig baby this year. So some people predict that this year will be the year with the largest number of marriages in the past two decades. The baby boom will come in 2007.
2007: The Origin of Dinghai Fire in the Year of the Pig
Recently, many people are rumored that 2007 is the golden pig year once in 60 years. The baby born this year is a golden pig baby, which is auspicious and wishful. Therefore, many prospective parents are scrambling to lock the birth date of their children in 2007.
How credible is this rumor? According to the general understanding of the golden pig year, next year should be the year of fire pig, because 2007 is the year of Ding Hai, and the five elements of Ding belong to "fire". In addition, this year's zodiac is a pig, so 2007, which is called the Year of the Golden Pig, is actually the Year of the Fire Pig. On this basis, some people questioned the statement of the Year of the Golden Pig.
In fact, the Year of the Golden Pig is the result of the development of China's blessing culture and historical laws. People familiar with China culture will find that the culture of praying for blessings pervades every corner of China's social life. For example, when we walk into a well-preserved Ming and Qing architecture, we will find that every step you take, everything you step on, and reaching out your hand almost invariably symbolize all kinds of blessings.
Today, we can still see a series of images of bats, sika deer and Antarctic immortals praying for blessings in rural New Year pictures, which represent happiness, wealth, longevity and happiness. In traditional culture, China is an implicit nation. When people express their blessings, they often use some homophonic things to express their blessing psychology metaphorically. This is also the reason why people use bats instead of blessings and deer instead of Lu to pray. After understanding the characteristics of China's blessing culture, we will not simply divide the origin of the Year of the Golden Pig into "gold" and "pig", and apply it mechanically according to the Five Elements Theory.
2007: The Origin of Dinghai Golden Pig Year
Ding is the fire in the five elements. Why is 2007 the legendary Year of the Golden Pig? This is closely related to the rule of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty.
Before the first year of Zhenguan in 627 AD, Dinghai Year was always called the Year of the Fire Pig. The 60-year cycle of Dinghai Year of the Fire Pig was accompanied by prosperity, marked by the birth of Liu Fuling in 94 BC. In A.D. 147, Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty ascended the throne; In 207 AD, Liu Bei visited the Caotang, and Zhuge Liang went out of Longzhong. In 567, in the first year of Everbright, Chen Bozong acceded to the throne. When was Dinghai Fire Pig Year renamed as Dinghai Golden Pig Year?
In the fourth year of Wude in Tang Gaozu (AD 62 1 year), in order to rectify the chaotic currency system and waste Sui money, the currency system was reformed with reference to the five-baht standard in the Western Han Dynasty, and the casting and circulation of Bao Tong in Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty promoted the Tang Dynasty, whose capital was Chang 'an, to enter a prosperous period of long-term stability. Because of "baht", Zhenguan Shengshi is called "Golden baht year" because of its wealth. Zhenguan's rule coincided with the Year of the Pig in Dinghai, and the folk spread the "Year of the Golden Pig", which was equivalent to the Year of the Golden Pig. Therefore, the Year of the Fire Pig in Dinghai, which was bound to have auspicious events, was renamed the Year of the Golden Pig in Dinghai.
2007: the golden pig year in prosperous Chang 'an!
According to China's traditional theory of five elements, the ancient people in China repeatedly arranged historical development in 60 years. They believe that in the 60-year cycle, things will grow, prosper and decline with the seasons like plants. Among them, the year of Dinghai is a key turning point from decline to prosperity, which means that from the year of Dinghai, everything will begin a stage of long-term development and prosperity.
The most desirable change in the history of China since the first year of Zhenguan coincides with the prediction and deduction of natural laws by the Five Elements Theory. Since then, the year of Dinghai Golden Pig, which coincides with a 60-year cycle, has also been regarded as the beginning of wealth and long-term stability, and historical facts have proved that it is indeed the case. In 927, Song Taizu was born in Dinghai; In the fourth year of Yongxi, Mazu became immortal in 987 AD; In the fifth year of Yongle, Beijing established its capital and wrote the Yongle Grand Ceremony. In the fourth year of Shunzhi, Zhu Youlang, Emperor of Nanming, proclaimed himself emperor. The most recent year in Dinghai was 36 years of the Republic of China, when the central government entered Xibaipo, a revolutionary holy land.
When we know the ins and outs of the Golden Pig Year in Dinghai, we will find that it is on the one hand a summary and judgment of the ancient people of China on the laws of nature, and on the other hand a wish for a better life.
Judging from today's social background, people's belief and piety in the Year of the Golden Pig is largely due to the public's long-cherished wish of "good luck and long-term stability" for our social development. 2007 is also the golden pig year in Dinghai, and it will be a year that everyone expects!
