What is an auspicious day?

"ecliptic" is an astronomical term. It means that the earth revolves around the sun once a year, and people see the circular route of the sun between celestial stars in a year, that is, the trajectory. The whole circle is 360 degrees, and people divide it into 12 equal parts, each of which is 30 degrees.

In the old imperial calendar, the words 12 were marked at the bottom of each date in the imperial calendar: construction, division, fullness, equality, determination, execution, destruction, danger, completion, receipt, opening and closing. All the days corresponding to "elimination", "danger", "stability", "persistence", "success" and "opening" are auspicious days, and the days corresponding to "construction, filling, leveling, breaking, closing and closing" are ominous days.

Since ancient times, China people have attached great importance to choosing auspicious days. In fact, not only China, but also foreigners are very concerned about auspicious days. This is because people are looking forward to a bright future, and everyone wants everything to be lucky.

The teacher of life, the teacher of Wenchang life, is flourishing. Judging from their names and positions, they are of course very important and auspicious. In the first month, the dragon changed its mind, all in the morning, the company's life, all suitable for six yang; In the first month, Tang Ming was ugly, Tiande was the fourth, and Yutang was not. All these are in line with the value of Six Yin. According to this, this is a good day.

Astrologers believe that if these six stars are lucky, they will not be inferior, but if they are opposite, they will be fierce. God is on duty and naturally takes nothing; Every day is a big killer, and you can only do things like tearing down houses and destroying walls; Of course, the zodiac is auspicious, and it is natural to choose an auspicious day for happiness, funeral, celebration and ceremony. According to astrologers' calculations, it is difficult to get married on a day that is not suitable for marriage, and it is also difficult to grow old together and have many children. Moving on a day that is not suitable for moving will lead to family discord and make chickens and dogs restless; I got sick in the aggressive days, even a minor illness may turn into a chronic disease, even life-threatening; As for building a house and paying attention to funeral, there are even more. ...
