Is the first month of 2023 14 an auspicious day?

The 13th day of the first month in 2023 is not an auspicious day.

Today, the Gregorian calendar regards God as a "white tiger", which belongs to Mafia Day, not Zodiac Day. Moreover, the 13th day of the first month is an important event to commemorate the death of Yang Gong, which does not meet the conditions for the establishment of the Zodiac Day.

Yang Gong is also called "Thirteen Taboos in Yang Gong". Thirteen bogeys are the 13th of the first month, 11th of February, 9th of March, 7th of April, 5th of May, 3rd of June, 1st of July, 29th of July, 27th of August, 25th of September, 23rd of October, 21st of November and 19th of December.

"Thirteen Taboos of Yang Gong" has been valued by Xuankong since ancient times. In Xuankong's eyes, these thirteen days can never be chosen as opening, construction, marriage, signing contracts and so on.

What day is the thirteenth day of the first month?

According to the records in the old almanac, the 13th day of the first month is the birthday of the legendary lamp holder, and people should offer a lamp on the stove to show that the future is very bright. Because the Lantern Festival is coming on the fifteenth day of the first month, lanterns made by every household are called "lamp holders".

In the northwest of China, Guan Gong was sacrificed on the 13th day of the first month, and a tribute called "Jia Cai" used in the sacrifice was mainly composed of soybeans. 13 After the Spring Festival, the water temperature rises, and fishermen will hold various activities to worship the sea, hoping that the weather will be good and the harvest will be good all year round.
