Is the auspicious day of the zodiac a sign of the zodiac?

The auspicious day of the zodiac is a unique term in China's traditional calendar "Huangli" (perpetual calendar), which refers to a day when everything goes well. Among the twelve zodiac signs, "Qinglong, Tiande, Yutang, Siming, Tang Ming and Jingui" are called "Six Zodiac Days" ("Eliminating Danger, Fixing, Persistence, Realizing and Opening" in twelve duty days is called "Little Zodiac Day"). When the six Zodiac gods are on duty, everything should be proper and evil should be avoided, which is called "auspicious day of the Zodiac". According to the influence of celestial bodies and astrology on human beings, the ancients formulated the ecliptic underworld day, which provided some references and choices for China people to choose the right day to avoid misfortune. This auspicious culture has been deeply rooted in the thoughts of the people in China since ancient times, and has been affecting the lives of the people in China, and has formed a custom.

"Tian Han Wen Zhi" records: "There is a middle way in the day and nine lines in the month." The middle way is the ecliptic, which is a bright road. There are twelve constellations with the highest brightness in the ecliptic sky. They are Qinglong, Baihu, Tang Ming, Tianxun, Suzaku, Jingui, Tiande, Yutang, Tianlong, Xuanwu, Siming and Gouchen. The so-called yellow mafia is a natural phenomenon in celestial bodies. The ancients summarized the law of this phenomenon's influence on human beings, and formulated the Yellow Mafia Day around the operation and responsibilities of the 28 stars. Therefore, it provides a certain reference and choice for human survival and development, seeking good fortune and avoiding evil.

There are two kinds of ecliptic days: Little ecliptic day and Great ecliptic day. The great ecliptic day is usually calculated by Qinglong ecliptic, including six auspicious days of the ecliptic and six evil days of the underworld; At the same time, the twelve hours of the underworld are also calculated by the ecliptic. Xiao Huang Daori is the twelve constellations headed by Jian Yue. If there is no big ecliptic day available, choose small ecliptic day.

There are two main ways to calculate the auspicious day of the zodiac, one is "twelve on duty" and the other is "twelve gods and evil spirits" of the twelve branches.

Twelve duty days are: the days of "establishment, exclusion, all day, working day, fixed day, compliance, completion, closing, breaking, dangerous day, opening and closing" in the yellow calendar are used to determine good luck or bad luck. The words 12 "construction, division, fullness, equality, decision, implementation, breakthrough, danger, success, closure, opening and closing" are respectively marked below each date in the yellow calendar. Every day corresponding to "removal, danger, determination, action, success and opening" is an auspicious day; The days corresponding to the words "build, full, flat, broken, closed and closed" are dangerous days.

"Twelve Duty Formulas":

In addition to danger, we will stick to the yellow (ecliptic) and establish a flat-closed-black (underworld);

Open-can be used (ecliptic), broken-can't be used (underworld).

The twelve gods are "Qinglong, Baihu, Tang Ming, Tianxun, Suzaku, Jingui, Tiande, Yutang, Tianlong, Xuanwu, Siming and Gouchen". "Qinglong, Tiande, Yutang, Siming, Tang Ming and Jingui" are called "six eclipses", and "White Tiger, Heavenly Punishment, Suzaku, Tianlong, Xuanwu and Gouchen" are called "six underworld gangs".
