What is an auspicious day?

What exactly does auspicious day mean? The word "auspicious day" appears frequently in China folk culture. In civil life activities, we often hear or see weddings, funerals, sacrifices, occupations, business cooperation, building houses, breaking ground, business trips and so on. We all need to look for "auspicious days" to make our work go smoothly, especially during the period of the revival of China's traditional culture. More and more people practice it. However, due to historical reasons, there is a fault in the traditional folk culture of China, so that many modern people don't understand the origin of the "auspicious day of the ecliptic", so blind pursuers appear and regard it as a classic: one-sided critics regard it as a scourge. Waiting for social weird events.

So, what is an auspicious day? "ecliptic" is a term in ancient astronomy, and the ecliptic is the orbit of the earth around the sun. Its astronomical theory originated in ancient Babylon and was introduced into ancient Greece, from Greece to India around the Gregorian calendar, and from Sui and Tang Dynasties to China with the translation of Buddhist scriptures. At that time, China's astronomical calendar had a mature astrological system of 28 constellations, so the introduction of the zodiac did not have much influence on the traditional astronomy in China. It was not until the late Ming Dynasty that Christian missionaries introduced western astronomy to China in large quantities, and the zodiac was gradually widely used.

It's just that the zodiac is located in the same place as the solar calendar in China, and the distribution of 24 solar terms and 28 nights is the same, which is why the zodiac is integrated into China astronomy. China's astronomical astrology system itself is based on the ancient astrology theory, so the concept of the zodiac is naturally used by astrology. He is not only used in astrology, but also plays a great role in agriculture and weather prediction.

In fact, the "auspicious day of the ecliptic" is largely explained by the weather forecast. Imagine what will happen when weddings, funerals, business cooperation, construction and ground breaking, business trips and tourism are going on, and even natural disasters occur? I don't think anyone wants this to happen.

The word "auspicious day" is not superstitious, it represents the longing for all good things, which is understandable. As for the "old calendar" that guides you to find a good day to see a doctor, make clothes, even take a bath and get a haircut, you don't have to abide by it. Because that is a thing of the past, there are indeed some dross in traditional culture. When we inherit and carry forward traditional culture, we should "take its essence and discard its dross". Make the past serve the present and make foreign things serve China. "(quotations from Chairman Mao). The auspicious day of the ecliptic is an example of the combination of Chinese and western.

Therefore, "auspicious day" is not a bad thing in some ideologies, such as when will the Ninth National Games open? What time does it close? The Preparatory Committee of the 9th National Games of Guangdong Province has spent a lot of thoughts on this matter. After careful study and soliciting opinions from many parties, two "auspicious days" were finally selected; The opening ceremony is 200 1 year 1 month1day, and the closing ceremony is 200 1 year1day 25; What? Isn't it ridiculous that the grand National Games should be like this? Before jumping to conclusions, please take a look at the following examples:

Due to the typhoon landing, the opening ceremony of the 5th National Games in Shanghai was temporarily postponed for two days.

Coincidentally, at the opening ceremony of the 6th National Games held in Guangzhou on1October 20th, 1987 165438 suddenly rained cats and dogs ... The originally peaceful and warm celebration atmosphere was more or less destroyed by this ignorant heavy rain.

On the morning of February 20th, 2000, the Hong Kong International Marathon started in cold and humid weather. The athletes were at a loss, 10 athletes turned to the temporary ambulance station for help on the way. Five people were in a semi-coma after crossing the finish line, and one of them was convulsed all over. Think about it, it would be a great pity if the Ninth National Games were held in the rain. In view of this, meteorologists provide scientific suggestions for the choice of auspicious days in the Ninth National Games. It is understood that meteorologists analyzed the meteorological changes during the 49 years of 195 1- 1999, thus determining the specific time of the Ninth National Games.

The ancient people in China paid attention to "the right time, the right place and the harmony of people" in order to achieve great things. It is also reasonable to explain it from the perspective of modern science. Among them, the word "weather" includes meteorological conditions to a great extent.

I also hope that some cultural scholars will face the tradition ... ";

What is an auspicious day? A lucky day when superstitious people think they can do things. In the past, astrology was used to calculate good or bad luck. It is said that Qinglong, Tang Ming, Jingui, Tiande, Yutang and Siming are auspicious gods. When they were on duty on the sixth day, everything was all right, and they didn't avoid bad luck. This day was called "auspicious day of the ecliptic". Generally refers to a good day to do things. From RMB? The fourth fold of the anonymous "Chain Plan": "Today is an auspicious day.

The zodiac is called "Qinglong, Tiande, Yutang, Siming, Tang Ming and Jingui" among the twelve evil spirits (except, danger, determination, persistence, success and opening). When the six gods of the zodiac are on duty, everything is appropriate, and they don't avoid evil. This 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.

What is an auspicious day? lucky day

Immortals and evil spirits are divided into years and days, and each has its own master. The choice of auspicious day is mainly the choice of day, just like fortune telling, but the choice of auspicious day is not good or bad regardless of year, month and time, but to look at each other and make a comprehensive choice. The evil spirits in the underworld of the ecliptic are Qinglong, Baihu, Tang Ming, Tianxun, Suzaku, Jingui, Tiande, Yutang, Tiancang, Yuan Wu, Siming and Gouchen. This selection method calls Qinglong, Tiande, Yutang, Siming, Tang Ming and Jingui as six zodiac signs, and the so-called auspicious day of the ecliptic is the day when these six gods are located. The day when the Six Gods are on duty-the auspicious day of the ecliptic-means that everything is fine and all goes well.

Second, choosing an auspicious day refers to choosing an auspicious day according to a certain method, so people directly call it "choosing a day", "observing a day" and "picking a day". In ancient times, it was also called "Ji Juan" and "Ji Jiao". At first glance, the art of choosing good luck seems bizarre and absurd, but in fact, there is an academic theory different from our old ancestors. Theories about good luck and bad luck are not made up and nonsense by alchemists at will, but are derived from some theories. The theory of auspicious choice is roughly as follows: first, there are many gods and evil spirits between heaven and earth, and their temperament is good and evil, or both; Second, these gods and evil spirits will interfere with and influence human affairs, and their abilities are different in size and strength; Third, Zhu Ji and Shen, two evil spirits, take turns "on duty" to deal with human affairs according to different operating rules; Four, in this way, within a year, every day there are a number of different gods and evil spirits on duty, and the good or ill luck of doing things that day should be avoided, that is, the interaction between the gods and evil spirits on duty, or conflict or harmony, or containment or balance, in line with "where good luck wins, it is inevitable; When good luck and bad luck are balanced, what is good luck and happiness is still taboo; If you are not lucky enough, you will consider it comprehensively before making a decision. In principle, everything has one or more auspicious gods that are most suitable for it and monsters that are taboo to it. For example, the eight winds touch the hose and hate people crossing the water by boat; It is absolutely inappropriate to travel far away from the army; It is unwise to go back and avoid it. Therefore, the key to choosing good luck is to master the temperament, strength, severity and trajectory of good and evil of various evil spirits, and then seek good luck and avoid evil according to the things to be dealt with. It must be explained that the so-called evil spirit is only the natural movement law of heaven, earth, sun, moon and five stars and their relationship. God is synonymous with these laws or relationships, and there is no such thing as a god or an evil spirit. This is a symbolic statement of the ancients. Gods and evil spirits are the laws governing the natural movements of the sun, the moon and the five stars in heaven and earth and their mutual relations. The choice of good luck is actually based on the laws of motion of the natural sun, the moon and the five stars in heaven and earth and their relationship. Therefore, it can be said that the technology of choosing good luck is a mathematical technology that respects nature, obeys natural order and pays attention to the balance and harmony with nature. As the saying goes, as a member of the vast world, human beings should make their actions conform to the reality of heaven and earth, otherwise, they will "lose before doing anything". "Now, these ideas are of great significance to the times. Now we finally realize that we should live in harmony with nature and pay attention to environmental protection instead of conquering nature. As the saying goes, "We should adapt to nature, adapt to nature". Our old ancestors understood this truth a long time ago, and we have to pay tribute to them.
