What is the auspicious day of the zodiac?

The word "auspicious day" appears frequently in China folk culture. In civil life activities, we often hear or see weddings, funerals, sacrifices, occupations, business cooperation, building houses, business trips, etc. And we all need to look for "auspicious day" to make our work go smoothly, especially in the period of the revival of traditional culture in China, the idiom "auspicious day" has become hot again. There is a fault in China's traditional folk culture, so that many modern people don't understand the origin of "auspicious day", so blind pursuers appear and regard it as a classic: one-sided critics regard it as a scourge. Waiting for social weird events.

So, what is an auspicious day? "ecliptic" is a term in ancient astronomy, and the ecliptic is the orbit of the earth around the sun. Its astronomical theory originated in ancient Babylon and was introduced into ancient Greece, from Greece to India around the Gregorian calendar, and from Sui and Tang Dynasties to China with the translation of Buddhist scriptures. At that time, China's astronomical calendar had a mature astrological system of 28 constellations, so the introduction of the zodiac did not have much influence on the traditional astronomy in China. It was not until the late Ming Dynasty that Christian missionaries introduced western astronomy to China in large quantities, and the zodiac was gradually widely used.

It's just that the zodiac is located in the same place as the solar calendar in China, and the distribution of 24 solar terms and 28 nights is the same, which is why the zodiac is integrated into China astronomy. China's astronomical astrology system itself is based on the ancient astrology theory, so the concept of the zodiac is naturally used by astrology. He is not only used in astrology, but also plays a great role in agriculture and weather prediction.

In fact, the "auspicious day of the ecliptic" is largely explained by the weather forecast. Imagine what will happen when weddings, funerals, business cooperation, construction and ground breaking, business trips and tourism are going on, and even natural disasters occur? I don't think anyone wants this to happen.

The auspicious day of the zodiac is a unique term in China's traditional calendar "Huangli" (perpetual calendar), which refers to a day when everything goes well.
