Why do many rural elderly people say "369" to go out? What is the reason?

The origin of this sentence, originally a normal farming activity, has gradually turned into the expectation of a better life when going out to return home. In the past, March, June and September of the rural lunar calendar were green and yellow for farmers, and there was basically no work in the fields. In order to improve the quality of life, farmers have chosen to go out to do odd jobs in these months, and gradually have the saying of going out.

Every year on the sixth day of the first month, railway stations and bus stations everywhere are crowded, and most of them are migrant workers, packing their bags and preparing to return to their posts. Therefore, the old saying "March, June and September" in rural areas does not refer to March, June and September of the lunar calendar.

Because, among the people, three, six and nine are numbers representing good luck and good intentions, and many festivals are related to these numbers, such as March 3 and September 9. Moreover, it is said that in the late Qing Dynasty, even the emperor went to court in March, June and September, which shows that people have attached importance to these days since ancient times.

As the saying goes, there are also seven out of eight. It means don't go out on the seventh day and don't go home on the eighth day.

Then there are the habits handed down from the countryside. After countless changes, 369 represents something auspicious. For example, auspicious three treasures, three talents, six or six great shun and nine great shun, not to mention long-term happiness.

The other is that March, June and September are basically good days for the Lunar New Year. In ordinary festivals, we will also choose these days, such as capping beams and getting married.

Going out is actually a different custom in different places.

1 is a fast day. The ancestors who were invited back years ago will be sent back slowly in these days. Solid 369 is a day to go.

3.69 is generally a good day. In these days, with the accelerated pace of life, we go out here more often.

Since Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms in ancient times, the application of the Six Kingdoms has begun to take shape. Six steps is one foot, the carriage uses six horses, and the width is also set at six feet. Until modern times, it has been given six meanings. As the largest of yang number and ten natural numbers, "nine" is considered as the noblest number. The ancient emperor called himself the statue of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, which has a long and lasting meaning, and his good wishes were recognized by everyone.
