Three, six, nine, up and down.

The Spring Festival has quietly ended, and it's time to leave home. In rural areas, there is a saying that "369 goes out". Many people think that the third day of the Lunar New Year is a good day for rural people to go out to work, but it is not. New Year's Day is a good day to visit relatives and friends. Then why is there such a statement?

In fact, "three", "six" and "nine" were auspicious numbers in ancient times. Most emperors went to court in 369, and ordinary people naturally like it. Choose a "good day" before going out, and "369 going out" expresses the desire for good luck. Due to the tight construction time, many rural people have to go out early, and most of them will choose to go out to work on the sixth day of the first month.

There is actually the second half of this old saying, which is called "Go out in 369 and go home in 258". If you go home for the New Year, it naturally refers to the day when the number is 258. Through long-term life experience, people find that the days with the second, fifth and eighth dates in the old yellow calendar are mostly good days. People always hope that people who leave home can bring good luck to their families, so they have the saying of going home in 258 years.
