Should I wear red underwear in my zodiac year? What are the rules for wearing red underwear in my zodiac year?

The Benmingnian refers to the zodiac sign that is twelve years apart. There is an old saying that one needs to wear red clothes to ward off evil spirits during the Benmingnian year, but this is not suitable for everyone. Do you know what is the significance of wearing red underwear during the Benmingnian year?

People have always believed that the year of birth is an unlucky year, because it will cause a decline in fortune. Red is known as a lucky, auspicious and festive color. It also has the effect of warding off evil spirits and avoiding disasters. It can bring protection to people in their year of birth and protect them from the influence of Tai Sui. Over time, it has become a folk custom to wear red in the year of birth.

Not everyone can wear red underwear in their birth year. Although red can indeed add to the luck of festivities in most birth years, it is not appropriate to wear red underwear to add to the luck in all birth years. The saying that one should wear red, such as red belts, red bracelets, red underwear, and even special red clothing for one's birth year, is actually very one-sided and wrong.

Red represents fire in the I Ching. If your zodiac sign represents fire, and you wear red clothes, red underwear, or anything else related to red in your birth year, this is called adding fuel to the fire. It will not only fail to resolve your birth year, but will make your birth year even more fiery.

According to Chinese historical records, the ten heavenly stems plus the twelve earthly branches form sixty Jiazi, and every year there is a "year god" on duty, and the year god on duty is "Nian Tai Sui". Although the understanding and avoidance methods vary slightly in different places, and the ornaments are also varied, the main function and purpose are only one, that is, "avoiding evil spirits".

For this reason, there is a nursery rhyme that has been passed down to this day, "In the year of birth, the Tai Sui is in the way, and there will be no happiness but disaster" is the best description of the unlucky year of birth. Therefore, in folk culture, the year of birth is usually called the "Kan'er Year", and red underwear plays a role in attracting good luck and avoiding misfortune.

The tradition in some places is to wear it until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but in some places it must be worn for the whole year, and you cannot buy it yourself, it must be given by the opposite sex.
