Is the 13th day of the first lunar month in 2023 an auspicious day for the zodiac?

The 13th day of the first month in 2023 is not a auspicious day.

Today, the Gregorian calendar regards God as a "white tiger", which belongs to Mafia Day rather than Zodiac Day. In addition, the 13th day of the first month is an important festival to commemorate Yang Gong's death, which does not meet the requirements for establishing the Zodiac Day.

Yang Gong is also called "Thirteen Taboos in Yang Gong". Thirteen taboos are the 13th of the first month, 11th of February, 9th of March, 7th of April, 5th of May, 3rd of June, 1st of July, 29th of July, 27th of August, 25th of September, 23rd of October, 21st of November and 19th of December.

"Thirteen Taboos of Yang Gong" has been valued by Xuankong since ancient times. In Xuankong's eyes, these thirteen days can never be chosen as the days of opening, construction, marriage and signing contracts.

When is the thirteenth day of the first month?

According to the records in the old almanac, the 13th day of the first month is the birthday of the legendary lantern-bearer. People should offer a lamp on the stove to show that the future is very bright. Because the day of lanterns is coming on the fifteenth day of the first month, all the lanterns made by families are called "lamp holders".

In the northwest of China, the 13th day of the first month is the day of offering sacrifices to Guan Gong, and a tribute called "Jia Cai" used in the sacrifice is mainly composed of soybeans. After the Spring Festival 13 days, the water temperature has risen, and fishermen will hold various activities to worship the sea, hoping that the weather will be good and the harvest will be good all year round.
