What is an auspicious day?

An auspicious day refers to an auspicious day when superstitious people think they can do something. The orthodox auspicious day must be chosen according to the user's birth time.

Using heavenly stems and earthly branches to record the year, month, day and time is a unique method in China. This calendar, that is, the imperial calendar still in use today, is mostly recorded in the almanac, the past imperial calendar. In the old "imperial calendar", in addition to recording the date, another word 12 was added to the date to become a formula. That is, the combination of peace and darkness (the underworld) must be carried out (the ecliptic), which can be opened and closed (the ecliptic), but not for (the underworld). In this way, every day is artificially divided into "good day" and "bad day".

The auspicious day of the zodiac is a day when everything is suitable. Peasant calendar, or yellow calendar, can choose auspicious days, such as marriage, marriage, engagement, dating, opening, opening and moving. The so-called yellow mafia is a natural phenomenon in celestial bodies. The predecessors summarized the law of this phenomenon's influence on human beings, and formulated the Yellow Mafia Day around the operation and duty of the 28-star. Thus, it provides a certain reference and choice for the survival and development of human beings and the pursuit of good fortune and avoidance of evil.

The Gregorian calendar we are using now is a pure solar calendar, which is based only on the law that the earth moves around the sun, without considering the change of the moon at all, and the setting of the month is completely artificial. The beginning of a year and the number of days in each month are groundless. This is a rather bad calendar.

The ancient calendar in China adopted a combination of yin and yang, which is more accurate than the pure solar calendar or pure lunar calendar adopted in other countries. This is the necessary condition and spirit of science.

The ancient calendar of China also included the movements of the sun, the moon and the five stars and the calculation of their positions. The determination of stars and time is weak and denier; The forecast of solar eclipse and so on. To some extent, the ancient calendar in China is a kind of work of compiling astronomical almanac. It includes many important contents of ancient astronomy in China and is the crystallization of ancient scientific observation and research.

What influence can the interaction between the sun, the moon and the stars have on people? Scholars in ancient and modern times believe that all cosmic movements will affect the life of the earth to varying degrees, thus deeply branding the life of the earth. In the movement of the sun, the moon and the stars, there are laws of the rise and fall of all things, which contain profound phenological principles. Therefore, in the study of the relationship between man and nature, it is inseparable from the movement of the sun, the moon and the stars, and the ancient calendar of China provides the best time and space background for this study.

Although the calendar is full of superstition and even absurdity, it contains rich connotations of China's ancient philosophy, astronomy, geography, natural ecology and many other aspects, as well as the discussion on how people adapt to nature. It is important not to deny the psychological factors involved. Superstition and criticism without analysis are not desirable. Today, we should discuss it in depth with a scientific attitude, which should help to clarify the ancient traditional culture of China.
