What does Lukong mean in the lunar calendar?

"Lu Kong" is the usage of the sects to choose a day, which is mainly used for the affairs of "God".

When the road is empty, it means that the gods are not in place, and all ritual activities related to the gods, such as rewarding the gods, sitting at the table, opening lights, burning incense, thanking the gods and making wishes, cannot be held. At this time, it is useless for you to perform the ceremony alone, because the next situation cannot reach God. God has gone on holiday, which means an empty road.

Of course, many affairs and activities did not have the idea of choosing a date at first, but with the development of social relations, people's psychological needs of self-satisfaction and self-comfort were used to realize some people's interests, and gradually they were endowed with mystery and tried their best to get rid of superstition.
