What does the rural saying "seven don't go out and eight don't go home" mean?

The complete statement of "seven don't go out, eight don't return" in our Central Plains region is "seven don't go out, eight don't go home". It means homonym. The homonym of "seven" means "wife" and "eight" means "steak". In ancient times, it was unlucky for a wife to go out, so "the wife didn't go out." The word "steak" means that people's life is too hard and they are tired from running around. No matter how much they fish, they are still poor, so there is a saying that they can't go home. Because "seven" and "wife" are homophonic, "eight" and "steak" are homophonic, we have long been "seven don't go out, eight don't go home", seven or eight days don't go out, don't visit relatives and friends, so far.

Seven out of eight is another embodiment and norm of Chinese traditional virtue.

Seven can't get out. The so-called seven is rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea. These seven necessities of life. In other words, you must prepare your daily necessities, soy sauce and vinegar tea before you go out.

The so-called eight is the eight basic principles of being a man: courtesy, righteousness, honesty, shame, loyalty, filial piety, filial piety and faith. In other words, when you are away from home, don't go home unless you have lost these eight basic principles of being a man.

So, roughly speaking, you can't go out until all the big and small things at home are explained clearly. If you are away from home, don't go home without the basic principles of being a man.

The origin of the so-called "seven can't go out" is this: in the old society, the first few days of the first month were related to common things, namely: one-day chicken, two-day dog, three-day pig, four-day sheep, five-day cow, six-day horse, seven-day man and eight-day valley.

Therefore, the seventh day is also called "People's Day". According to the Taoist explanation, "Mr. Heaven and Earth is a chicken, two dog, two pigs, two sheep, two cows, two horses and a newborn person", which is people-oriented. Therefore, the main festival activities of "People's Day" also reflect the idea of attaching importance to people, and there are customs such as not traveling, not being an official, not keeping appointments, not visiting relatives, not moving, and not opening the door on the seventh day.

The so-called "eight no return" is like this: in the old society, the eighth day of the first month was called "Valley Day". The custom in ancient days was to worship the memorial tablet with the name of grain written on it, and not to eat cooked grain, which implied the idea of attaching importance to agriculture and cherishing grain.

As a result, in the "Valley Day", the first batch of farmers devoted themselves to working and farming outside, and formed some customs such as avoiding home visits and going home.
