Release the auspicious day in 2023

On the eighth day of the first month, there is a "release" activity, which is to take some fish and birds raised at home outside and release them into the wild.

In the Ming Dynasty, Dong Liu recorded in The Scenery of the Imperial Capital: "On the eighth day of the first month, birds, fish and shrimp in pots, snails and mussels were released in Shixing Lane. Luo tang qian, monks speak Sanskrit, thousands of people are opposite, and feathers are flying in the air. Evil falls on the house, but when they move, they leave. Things like water are thrown into the bamboo shoots and bait of Jinshui River in the imperial city. " The eighth day of the eighth lunar month not only embodies the ancient people's moral quality of respecting the harmonious coexistence of all things in nature, but also expresses people's good wishes for the prosperity of all things in the world at the beginning of the new year.
