What does it mean to go out and see the Gregorian calendar?

"Going out to see the Gregorian calendar" is a traditional custom originated in China, which means to look at the Gregorian calendar before deciding to go out for business or important activities to determine whether it is an auspicious day.

The almanac is a kind of almanac that can display various calendars such as Gregorian calendar, Lunar calendar and Ganzhi calendar at the same time, and has a large number of rules and contents related to seeking good fortune and avoiding evil. People usually decide when it is appropriate to carry out various activities according to the information in the Gregorian calendar, such as weddings, funerals, breaking ground to build houses and so on. The concept behind this custom originated from the ancient China people's concept of time and universe.

They believe that on certain days, such as auspicious or unlucky days, human activities will be influenced by various forces in the universe. Therefore, in order to avoid the possible negative impact of unlucky days, people will choose to mark auspicious days on the yellow calendar for important activities. However, with the progress of society and the development of science, more and more people begin to be skeptical about this custom.

They think that looking up almanac is an act without scientific basis, which will limit people's freedom of action. In addition, with the fast pace of modern life, it is difficult for people to always wait for a "good day" before taking action. Therefore, whether to follow this traditional custom depends on one's belief and cultural background. For some people, looking up almanac is a kind of psychological comfort, which makes them feel more at ease in their activities.

For others, they are more inclined to trust their judgment and decision-making ability, and think that any day can be a "good day" as long as they are well prepared and planned. However, modern people should treat this custom rationally, not only respecting the tradition, but also making decisions according to the actual situation and scientific concepts. In the face of life choices, the most important thing is to comprehensively consider various factors and make the decision that suits you best (the above contents are for reference only).
