Why is there a saying in the saying "seven don't go out, eight don't go home"?

The reason for this is the following:

The ancients thought that there were three main aspects for a person to achieve something, namely, the right time, the right place, and the harmony between people. The ancients thought that "auspicious day" was chosen to occupy "the right time"

I hope that with the help of "good weather", I can get rid of obstacles in the long journey, go smoothly, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, have a safe journey and succeed in what I have to do. It is precisely because of this psychological effect that ancient people pinned their hopes on setting off fireworks on auspicious days.

The whole sentence means that it is not advisable to travel from home on the seventh day of each month, and it is not advisable to go home from outside on the eighth day of each month.

There is a folk saying that "eight don't go home":

"Eight don't go home" is also said to be "eight don't go home". The word "eight" is reminiscent of the words "turtle", "return" and "turtle". People in our country don't like "tortoise" and "tortoise". These two words are used to call names and humiliate people and are often associated with the wife's style at home.

In the past, women generally didn't wander outside, only men often wandered outside. What ancient men were most afraid of was an accident in the backyard, fearing being cuckolded. Therefore, going home every eighth day has become the most taboo day for men who go out.

There are two main arguments about "seven don't go out".

One is related to the ancient system of divorcing wives. The ancient feudal marriage system was patriarchal, and there was no divorce, only divorce. That is to say, at the level of feudal system, only men can send women back to their parents' homes and end their marriage relationship, and women cannot propose to end their marriage relationship with men. A man who ends his marriage with a woman is called "divorcing his wife".

In ancient times, the rule of "divorcing a wife" was "seven out of three don't go", which means that if a woman violates the "seven out of three don't leave", a man can divorce his wife. Therefore, the language of "seven don't go out" and "seven go out" is similar, which is taboo for old people.
