Why do my grandparents often say that the 5th step to the street will meet bad luck?

Is it true that the 5th step to the road will meet bad luck?

Lunar New Year is the most important holiday for Vietnamese people. In particular, the first days of the year are even more important because of the attitude, the jobs in these days mean the financial decisions of a long year.

Therefore, since ancient times, Vietnamese people have set many taboos on Tet holiday, among them cannot forget the sentence: "The fifth year, the fourteenth, the third time - Go out and the hole is a trafficking situation". Accordingly, Vietnamese people believe that the 5th should not go to the street, because they will suffer bad luck on the first day of the year.

The explanation for this is the idea that the Lunar New Year - ie the 4th, 5th and 6th - is the "water" day, the day of the high tide. These days often generate unusual ocean currents, endangering boats in the Gulf of Tonkin. Since then, the ancient people have been thinking that these days often bring bad luck, especially those who are far away (because of the past, the main means were boats).

Talking about the scientific perspective, people will be affected by the most powerful forces with the Moon on these days. Don't think this influence is not heavy. This energy source not only affects health but also makes people lose control, mistakes in calculation and action. In fact, there have been studies that prove that the number of accidents on these days is higher than other days.

In addition, there is another explanation for the concept of the 5th day of bad luck , based on Chinese calendar books.

Three days on the 5th, 14th and 23rd are three days in each month, so they are called "The Day of the Lives".(Artwork - Source: Internet).

Accordingly, three days on the 5th, 14th and 23rd are three days in each month, so it is called "Day of the Melancholy". This day is the day in the middle of the palace (the central throne in Ha Do) and the middle part is the king and takes the number 5 as a symbol. Counting from 1 to 5, the number 5 is entered into the Middle Supply, and then added to the number of the bow (ie the number 9), then the 14 is also entered into the Middle School, plus the 9th, then the 23 also enters the Middle half. Thus, three times have entered the Middle School (5, 14, 23).

Ngự Huynh Huynh was murdered at the center (the middle of the palace), but Thái Tệ (the king) re-married Huỳnh, so the lower one had to avoid the above. If you do not avoid it, it is necessary to meet the superior.

Another explanation is based on the book "Buffalo" . On the days of impassioned, according to the teaching, due to the sharpness of the king (China), it was removed, so it was not a question. On the contrary, according to the King's "Period" book , consider the above theory to be reasonable, so keep in mind (ie, do not remove it). But in fact, these days are not bad days. They were just days of the month, but the king often went away from the city to do business or patrol the city. Each month the king went three times, each time separated by 9 days.

You must also talk a little about the custom of the ancient Chinese, that people are not allowed to see the king's face. Where the king's palanquin went, people were forced to close their doors inside, not to sneak peek or walk outside. If you commit this order, you are immediately beheaded.

Therefore, the folk spread the word of mouth together, to abstain from these three days to avoid the misfortune encountered when the king went and took the disaster. Once upon a time, I became acquainted, along with superstition, so these three days became a bad day to abstain from important things (to be happy, to do business, to build a house, to go away .). This custom has been from China to Vietnam since the time of the Northern domination, the king of our country has since followed. That belief has been handed down to this day.

Although there is a historical and cultural base and even a scientific study of this statement, that does not mean that everyone has to close the door "entrenched" in the house. It's just a reference to make us more cautious when going out.
