What do you mean, Niu Chong Yang (Ghost Wei) is an oriental evil?

"Cow day rushes to sheep (Guiwei) and destroys the East" is a taboo word in China's traditional calendar, which means that on the Year of the Ox, people who belong to sheep (especially those born in Guiwei) should not move eastward or engage in activities related to the East.

The "rush" here refers to the collision between the branches, that is, the "ugly" (cow) in the twelve branches collides with the "not" (sheep) in the twelve branches. In the traditional calendar of China, people think that the conflict between the branches will have a bad influence on people's fortune.

And "Dongsha" means that it is not appropriate to move eastward on this day, because moving eastward will be considered to bring bad influence. In the traditional calendar of China, it is believed that different orientations are related to the different attributes of the zodiac and the five elements, and people with certain attributes of the zodiac and the five elements should not move in certain directions on certain days.

Generally speaking, it is a traditional culture that people who belong to sheep, especially those born in Guiwei, should not move eastward or engage in activities related to the East on the day of the Year of the Ox.
