关于赤口和赤狗日

本帖最后由 johnxu 于 2017-2-21 10:03 编辑

春节期间,大年初三,一法国朋友给我发邮件,谈及“赤狗日”,我竟然不知道大年初三是“赤狗日”。这些老外比我都了解中国传统文化。下面是他给我的解释:

Hello John,

Below some explanations about what I have heard about Chikou

Third day of the Chinese Calendar

The third day is known as "red mouth" (Chinese: 赤口; pinyin: Chìkǒu). Chikou is also called "Chigou's Day" (Chinese: 赤狗日; pinyin: Chìgǒurì). Chigou, literally "red dog", is an epithet of "the God of Blazing Wrath" (Chinese: 熛怒之神; pinyin: Biāo nù zhī shén). Rural villagers continue the tradition of burning paper offerings over trash fires. It is considered an unlucky day to have guests or go visiting.Hakka villagers in rural Hong Kong in the 1960s called it the Day of the Poor Devil and believed everyone should stay at home. This is also considered a propitious day to visit the temple of the God of Wealth and have one's future told.
