Is there anything particular about choosing a date in ancient times?

? The ancients paid attention to taboos and had the saying of "four departures from four". So, what exactly is the "four wonders"? Apart from "beginning of spring", one of the "four wonders" on the day before the solar terms, what other so-called "wonders" are related to the solar terms?

First, what are the "four musts"? In the past, some people called the day before the four solar terms of beginning of spring, long summer, beginning of autumn and beginning of winter the "Four Musts". The so-called "absolute" is not suitable, not suitable, that is, "taboo." Then, "doomsday" refers to a big taboo day, as opposed to "auspicious day".

? So, why do some people call these four days "the last day"? Because these taboo days are mainly concerned by ancient astrologers, in their eyes, the day before these four solar terms is taboo day, because these four "taboo days" are: Wang Mu in beginning of spring, Wang Mu in the long summer, Jin Wang in beginning of autumn and Jin Wang in beginning of winter. So these days are not suitable for any major activities. They think that if there are important events, we should choose another day.

? Second, what is "four points"? There is also "four separation" in the same breath as "four absolutely". The so-called "separation" means not desirable and taboo. The difference with the "four musts" lies in the difference of solar terms.

? "Four beards" refers to the day before the four solar terms of beginning of spring, long summer, beginning of autumn and beginning of winter. "Four departures" refers to the day before the vernal equinox, autumnal equinox, winter solstice and summer solstice in the 24 solar terms. These four days are technically called "departures from the sun". There are four such days in a year, so it is called "four days away from the sun"

? What is "separation"? The ancients believed that the day before the vernal equinox was called Muli; The day before the summer solstice is called fire separation; The day before the autumnal equinox is called Li Jing; The day before the winter solstice is called dividing water.

? On the "yellow calendar", you must write the words "four days away from Japan, no need for major events". Generally speaking, choose a day and avoid it.

Third, how to treat "four departures and four absolutes" We can look at this statement from these aspects today.

? First, this is a solution to some things that are difficult for the ancients to understand, that is, when things are difficult to understand and understand, they take an evasive attitude instead of colliding with them. From this point of view, the ancients were still very wise. They were very particular about "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages". This is also in line with the "walking is the best policy" in the 36 plans, that is, "fight if you win, and run if you don't win." This idea is worth learning.

Running away is the best choice

? Second, pay attention to the principle of balance and mutual restriction between yin and yang, which is worthy of attention. The so-called "Four Wonders" include "Water Wonderland in Wang Mu, beginning of spring, Huowangmu Wonderland in Midsummer, Land Wonderland in Jin Wang, beginning of autumn and Wonderland in Shui King Wang, beginning of winter". This is based on Jin Mu's "five elements" of fire, water and earth. The ancients believed that in aquatic wood, wood made a fire, fire produced soil, soil produced gold and gold produced water; Water can break fire, fire can break gold, Jin Kemu, Muketu, Tuke water. It can be seen that the "four absolutes" contain the truth of "common development and common resistance" However, if it is enlarged, and the whole day is designated as a "taboo day", it can't do great things. Obviously, it is enlarged.

? In today's era of advanced science and technology, we don't have to be trapped by the remarks of the underdeveloped times in the past. Of course, some people still insist on "choosing a day", preferring to avoid this so-called "unfavorable" day and choose another so-called "auspicious day". This is also everyone's pressure and habit, there is no need to be harsh. At the same time, we should also see that most people now say smartly that "it is better to choose a day than to hit it"!
