Does anyone still believe in auspicious days in the old calendar?

Today, while sorting out a mountain of books, Yilin in the south of the Yangtze River inadvertently turned out three books, which were bought in Haidian Bookstore in Beijing a long time ago. Seeing this book, I can't help but think of the warm memories of reading and loving books before. This set of books from the beginning. Xie Fang is the representative work of China's ancient auspicious book. The preface was made by Emperor Qianlong himself, and it was included in Sikuquanshu. This book is broad and profound, all-encompassing, closely related to people's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and very practical. Some of us may know or have similar books at home, such as Jade Sagger or Buwan Jade Sagger (almost every family had this book in ancient times). In fact, Yusag is only a branch of Jieji Frontier Defense.

Ancient people attached great importance to the choice of auspicious days, regardless of weddings, bedsteads, travel, sacrifices and so on. In the past, the old calendar was often filled with all kinds of information about choosing a day, which was very popular and popular in our parents' time. Now that most rural and large-scale construction projects have started, the date will still be specially chosen. For example, when building a house, capping beams, building site selection and starting construction in rural areas, we will choose a date to see Feng Shui, but such things will not be publicized for well-known reasons.

Nowadays, young people are gradually indifferent to the concept of choosing a day. Marriage, licensing, moving and so on are often mainly holidays. Unfortunately, many traditional cultures in China have not been well inherited.

So, does it make sense to choose a day school? Is it funny? Many friends asked Jiangnan Yilin this way.

In fact, this question can be classified as "whether horoscope fortune-telling is absurd", because both of them are related to the element of time.

We know that everything is carried out and completed by one or more of the following four elements: people, things, time and space. Japanese studies are the choice of time elements, while Feng Shui is the choice of space, and the two complement each other.

In fact, the reason for choosing a day to study is very simple. We humans (people) live in a corner (space) of the earth and in the long river of time (time). Every moment, we are engaged in all kinds of activities (things), and the sun, moon and stars around us are constantly changing. Various magnetic fields and gas fields are changing, and various environmental conditions are changing, which is harmful to our human beings (including the growth of animals and plants). There are naturally good and bad things to do under different time conditions and different opportunities.

Because time is not just an empty number, it is a coordinate, corresponding to the life and death of various energies. These visible or invisible energies profoundly affect our human activities.
