What does it mean to be completely occupied?

According to the five elements theory of China's ancient Eight Diagrams, the twelve days in astronomy symbolize twelve situations in human affairs, namely, construction, division, fullness, equality, determination, persistence, breaking, danger, success, closing, opening and closing.

China's traditional calendar is based on heavenly stems and earthly branches's arrangement, combination and circulation, which means circulation and reappearance. It is this reappearance that makes it meaningful to choose a date to avoid it. The fundamental basis for the ancients to make calendars and determine auspicious days was the sun, the moon and the stars. Among them, the stars are the most critical factor in determining the date, and the Gregorian calendar basically does not consider these, so there is no so-called taboo.

Extended data

The ancients believed that "calendar" originated from the mysterious "divination". The sun, the moon and the stars all have their own gods, and because of their positions, they have their own good and bad changes, which has contributed to the method of choosing the day directly related to the ancient astronomical astrology system. These contents involve the worship of constellations and specific stars, which are usually mixed with the five elements to mark the attributes of stars, leading to the dual relationship between the representativeness of stars and their mutual constraints.

Therefore, there are a series of auspicious and unfortunate days in the calendar every year, such as the sun god, the moon god, the year god, the elimination of twelve guests, blood taboos and the death of air. And the core of all this is Beidou. Because our land is in the northern hemisphere, the Big Dipper never falls in four seasons.

Because the Big Dipper orbits the celestial pole once a year, the bucket handle of the Big Dipper also points to twelve directions in the four seasons, corresponding to twelve months, so it is called "making the moon". Bucket handle refers to the direction of prosperity, so generally speaking, war and construction can't offset it. In other words, Beidou is the ancestor of astrology, and the date and direction depend largely on the position and direction of Beidou. ?
