What color of underwear should be worn in the zodiac year?

The majority of customs in the zodiac year are to wear red undergarments;
Customs vary from place to place. In the folk tradition, wearing red clothes is the most common, or wearing red underpants, red scarves, red socks, and so on. In people's minds, red is very auspicious and festive, and some people also believe that red can ward off evil spirits! This is just people's wishes.

Although red can indeed enhance the festive luck in general zodiac years, not all zodiac years can wear red underpants to enhance the luck. For example, people who belong to the fire element will easily have too much fire if they wear red, which is the element of fire, thus enhancing bad luck. If you must wear red, it is enough to wear it occasionally, or wear small red items like red socks or red bracelets. The other daily clothing can be of any color. If you are a girl, the color of your undergarments should be light and simple. Light pink or pink colors are acceptable for the zodiac year.

What does the term "zodiac year" mean?

The zodiac year originally referred to the year when the five elements cycle back, i.e., every 60 years is a zodiac year. Now, it mainly refers to the year corresponding to one's Chinese zodiac sign, commonly known as the "zodiac year". In traditional customs, the zodiac year is often considered an unlucky year. The folk song "In the zodiac year, the guardian deity sits on top, no joy without misfortune" is the best reflection of the zodiac year being considered less auspicious. Therefore, the folk tradition also calls the "zodiac year" as the "threshold year", meaning that passing through the zodiac year is like crossing a threshold. When the zodiac year comes, people in northern regions, regardless of age, need to wear red waistbands, commonly known as "tying red". Children also need to wear red shirts and red pants, believing that this can help avoid misfortune and eliminate disasters. Every Spring Festival, there are many red and yellow silk bands for "good luck" and "good fortune" sold in the market. People in the zodiac year tie them around their waists or wrists, expressing the working people's wish to ward off evil, avoid disasters, and pray for blessings.
