Why can't you get engaged in the twelfth lunar month?

Statement 1

There is a saying among the people that "Don't get married in the first month of the year, and don't get engaged in the twelfth month", which means that the first month of the year is not suitable for marriage, and the twelfth month is not suitable for engagement. It is said that marrying a daughter-in-law in the first month of the lunar calendar will bring trouble to the parents-in-law, while getting engaged in the twelfth month will bring misfortune to the husband's family. Therefore, in ancient times, few people would get married in the first month of the lunar calendar or get engaged in the twelfth month.

Explanation 2

However, different regions have different local requirements. In the southern region, it is believed that the period after the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month and even around the New Year is the time when the gods ascend to heaven, and this period is very suitable for weddings.

Explanation 3

Engagement is the date when two parties enter into a marriage contract. From the perspective of Feng Shui, no matter when the engagement is held, an auspicious day must be chosen. Generally, the method is to see if the lunar calendar day is suitable for engagement, and then refer to the birth dates of the man and woman to calculate the most auspicious engagement date.
