Peng Zu in the Old Yellow Calendar

Peng Zuji is a kind of luck-selecting technique that has been circulating for a long time in ancient China. It is a summary of the daily taboos of the ancients, and it also reflects their philosophy of life to some extent. Today, we can still see traces of Peng Zu's taboo in the old almanac. Today, we are going to learn about one of them: What does it mean to have sex without eating dogs?

"Don't eat dog meat, have sex" means don't eat dog meat for a day, or something strange will happen. Well, this elephant is a dog, a dog; Aren't you afraid of being punished by dogs for eating dog meat at this time? Therefore, the ancients believed that this day must be avoided, otherwise it might be punished.

What's the significance of this day?

In ancient China, the date of the year was recorded by the chronology of the stem and branch, that is, the cooperation of heavenly stems and earthly branches was taken as sixty flowers. Xu is one of the twelve earthly branches, and Xu Ri is the day when the earthly branch is Xu. There are five days, one day every 12 days. Of course, the sky is different, namely, JOE, Xu Bing, Wuxu, Geng Xu and Ren Xu.

The five elements belong to the earth, but after cooperating with the heavenly dryness, Yin Na's five elements are different every day. For example, Yin Na's five lines in JOE are mountain fires, Yin Na's five lines in Xu Bing are homesteads, Yin Na's five lines in the Reform Movement of 1898 are flat trees, and Yin Na's five lines in Geng Xu are female gold and Nuo Nuo.

Judging the good or ill luck of the day is based on the balance of the five elements and our own needs, combined with heavenly stems and earthly branches in the year, month, day and time, and heavenly stems and earthly branches in the Universiade and the Palace of Life. If you need it, be fierce when you rush, and be lucky when you are born or prosperous; On the other hand, they don't need it themselves, so they are lucky when they rush, and fierce when they are born or prosperous.
