What is fortune telling when 7 and 9 don't go out _ What is fortune telling when 7 and 9 don't go out?

Why did the ancients say "seven don't go out, eight don't go home"? What do these seven and eight mean?

There is an old saying, "Don't go out for seven days, don't go home for eight days". In fact, the most important concept is that you should not choose to go out if you haven't finished what you haven't done well. You can't go home if you haven't finished some things after going out. But now many people have inherited a superstitious idea that when they can't go out and when they can't go home, which actually completely misunderstood the old saying and used it wrongly, which led to everyone's superstition.

In fact, the seven in this sentence usually refers to seven things to do well before going out, called rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. That is to say, if a person is the head of the family and has a certain plan when going out, then everyone in his daily life must be settled before going out, so that he can go out. Otherwise, it may not be practical after going out. More importantly, if these basic elements of life are not ready, it is also irresponsible to the family.

Eight in this sentence usually means that there are eight things that need our special attention and can be done after we go out. Before we do it well, it is equivalent to being irresponsible to some friends or partners outside.

These eight things usually refer to filial piety, faithfulness, courtesy, honesty and shame. This is our code of conduct in the outside world. Usually, if we do nothing, we may not be able to go home and face our relatives, young and old. Please don't misunderstand me.
