What day is the fourth day of the first month? What day is the fourth day of the first month?

The fourth day of the first month is called "Sheep Day". This has to start with the words of the creator god of Nu Wa. According to the book, when Nu Wa created everything, she first created six kinds of animals, and then made people out of soil.

Because she made a chicken on the first day, a dog on the second day, a pig on the third day, a sheep on the fourth day, a cow on the fifth day, a horse on the sixth day, and then a villain with loess and water on the seventh day. So from the first day to the sixth day, we have always called it Six Livestock Day.

This is why we call the fourth day of the first month the sheep festival. Sheep are the same as "Xiang" in ancient meaning, so they are often regarded as important items in sacrificial ceremonies. But on the fourth day of the first month, because it is sheep day, you must never kill sheep, otherwise it would be disrespectful.

There is also a folk saying that if the weather is fine that day, it means that sheep will be raised well and farmers will have a bumper harvest this year. Just like the idiom "three sheep open Thailand", sheep and "Yang" are interlinked, and they are also very auspicious symbols. In addition, the fourth day of the first month is also the time when the kitchen god returns to the people, so sheep day often means a bumper harvest.
