This unique culture of measuring happiness and choosing a day has a long history, is deeply rooted in people's hearts and has far-reaching and extensive influence among the people; China people did not deliberately protect its existence, but naturally passed it down. Since ancient times, there have been schools of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism in choosing auspicious days.

At present, the most detailed and representative document about auspicious choice is Jie Ji Bian Fang, which was compiled during the reign of Qing Qianlong.

Traditional calendar

Marking the year, month, day and time with heavenly stems and earthly branches is a unique method in China, while Gregorian calendar is a traditional calendar marking the year, month and day with heavenly stems and earthly branches. Gregorian calendar is a perpetual calendar based on the China lunar calendar. Legend has it that it was created by Xuanyuan Huangdi, so it is called solar calendar. It is also called "general book" among the people, but because the word "book" in "general book" is homophonic with the word "lose", it is also called "tong sheng" because of taboo. The main contents of the Gregorian calendar are twenty-four solar terms, such as daily taboos, dry branches, spiritual values, stars, moon phases, zodiac luck, auspicious and evil spirits (ecliptic, underworld) and so on. "ecliptic? This is a technical term in astronomy. There are white roads and equator in astronomy, but not?

The ancients believed that choosing the auspicious day of the ecliptic is not good or bad regardless of year, month and time, but should be based on each other's comprehensive choice.

Waiting for six Chen to be a fierce god, thinking that it is unlucky to commit it; Will. Qinglong, Tang Ming, Jingui, Tiande, Yutang and Siming? Known as the six eclipses, the so-called auspicious day of the ecliptic is the day when these six gods are located. The day when the Six Gods are on duty is called the auspicious day of the ecliptic, and everything goes well and is auspicious. The orthodox auspicious day of the zodiac must be carefully selected in combination with the user's birthday.

The theory of auspicious days of the ecliptic is based on astronomical phenomena.

So-called? Ecliptic? Originally an astronomical term, it refers to the great circle where the earth's orbital plane around the sun intersects with celestial constellations. This is a wave path. In summer solstice, the sun sets at the highest point of the wave curve and in winter solstice, the sun sets at the lowest point. The sun runs once a day, and its position is different every day. There are many constellations beside its position. The sun and these constellations form a certain situation, which can affect people on earth. Sometimes it is a good influence, called auspiciousness; Sometimes it is a bad influence, called fierceness. When the sun moves to a certain position on the ecliptic and has an auspicious influence on the map, it is called auspicious day of the ecliptic.

The ecliptic passes through thirteen constellations. The astronomical theory of the zodiac originated in Babylon, Cuba, and was later introduced into ancient Greece. For more than two thousand years, ancient Greek astronomers divided the zodiac into 12 segments and named them after the corresponding 12 constellations, so as to correspond the movement of the sun with 12 months in a year. Because the revolution of the earth is attracted by other planets, the moon and other celestial bodies, the position of the ecliptic plane in space changes irregularly and continuously. The location of the zodiac is the same as that of the twenty-four solar terms and the twenty-eight nights in the China solar calendar (also known as the lunar calendar and the lunar calendar), which makes the zodiac integrated into astronomy in China.

Stars and calendars

In western astrology, the zodiac signs represent different directions of the universe. There are also 28 stars in the traditional lunar calendar. In ancient times, such as India, Persia, Arabia and so on, there was a saying similar to China's twenty-eight nights. Twenty-eight constellations, also known as the twenty-eight house or the twenty-eight stars, divide the stars in the southern transit into twenty-eight groups, which are a circle of stars distributed along the ecliptic or equator of the celestial sphere (the equator of the earth extends to the sky). It is divided into four groups, also known as four elephants, four beasts, four-dimensional and four-dimensional gods. There are seven stars in each group, and its origin is still not completely clear. At first, the ancients chose 28 stars to compare the movements of the sun, the moon, gold, wood, water, fire and the earth as observation marks. ? Stay? What are the meanings of the zodiac and the zodiac? Palace? Similarly, it means a constellation table, which indicates the positions of the sun, the moon and five stars. In the Tang Dynasty, Twenty-eight Hostels became the main body of twenty-eight celestial domains, and these celestial domains were still named after Twenty-eight Hostels. Unlike Sanyuan, as a celestial region, 28 hotels are mainly used to divide the ownership of star officials. Correspondence between the Twenty-eight Hostels and the Twelve Earthly Branches: Earthly Branches are the core content of ancient astronomy in China and the most important symbol of ancient astronomy in China. The earth rises from the 28 stars in ancient times, which is another expression of the year. The way to create earthly branches is to use some astrological symbols of 28 stars.
