What does calendar red mouth mean?

There are two meanings.

1 is a kind of China calendar. Chikou, also known as "Red Dog Day", is an unlucky day. In the folklore of the Han nationality, the red dog is the "God of wrath", which will bring bad luck, so the third day of the first lunar month is an unlucky day and is not suitable for going out for banquets. In addition, the word "red" means "extreme poverty", and going out to attack the red dog will bring poverty. If you must go out to pay a New Year call, you can put a bag on your body to relieve the breath.

According to the folklore of the Han nationality, the third night is the day when mice get married, so most people go to bed early that night so as not to disturb their marriage. There will be a custom of "mice sharing money" that night, and salt, rice and cakes will be scattered in the corner of the house for the mice to enjoy. These foods for mice are called "rice makeup", which means to enjoy a bumper harvest with mice in the new year.

There are different customs in Chikouri: during the Qing Dynasty, Minnan people had the custom of "leaving the suburbs to show their graves", that is, offering sacrifices to ancestral graves; In Hong Kong, many people will go to Chegong Temple to pray, while others will go hiking or participate in horse racing in the suburbs.

2. A day in the Japanese Gregorian calendar. Its origin is the evil day called "red-eye day" in the Tao of Yin and Yang. It is the only one of the six obsidians that hasn't changed its name. Only noon (about 1 a.m. to about1p.m.) is auspicious, and other times are fierce.
