What exactly does auspicious day mean?
According to the law of the influence of celestial bodies and astrology on human beings, the ancients formulated the ecliptic underworld day, which provided some references and choices for China people to choose a day to avoid disaster. This auspicious culture has been deeply rooted in the thoughts of China people since ancient times, and has been influencing the lives of China people, and has formed a custom.

cultural heritage
China's traditional calendar is based on heavenly stems and earthly branches's arrangement, combination and circulation, which means circulation and reappearance. It is this "recurrence" that makes it meaningful to choose a date to avoid it. The fundamental basis for the ancients to formulate calendars and determine auspicious days is the sun, the moon and the stars. Among them, the stars are the most critical factor in determining the date, and the Gregorian calendar basically does not consider these, so there is no so-called taboo.
Traditional calendar
The almanac composed of the solar calendar, the lunar calendar and the official calendar is called the yellow calendar, also known as the old yellow calendar, the yellow calendar and the children's life. It is an almanac, which contains a lot of rules and contents related to seeking happiness and avoiding evil. Almanac is a code of conduct followed by ancient emperors and a calendar promulgated by emperors, so people call it "imperial calendar"; After the Revolution of 1911, the imperial system was overthrown, and the "imperial calendar" was renamed as "yellow calendar" by homonym.
The yellow calendar not only includes astronomy, meteorology, seasons and seasons, but also contains some taboos that people should abide by in their daily lives. Its content guides the farming opportunity of working farmers in China, so it is also called the farmers' calendar. People in the Gregorian calendar are also commonly known as "general books".
However, in Cantonese, because the word "Shu" in Tong Shu is homophone with the word "lose", it is also called "Tong Sheng" because of taboo. The main contents of the Gregorian calendar are 24 solar terms, such as daily taboos, dry branches, spiritual values, stars, moon phases, zodiac luck, auspicious and evil spirits (ecliptic, underworld) and so on.
"ecliptic" is a special term in astronomy. There are ecliptic and equator in astronomy, but there is no "underworld". The concept of "evil day in the underworld" is a term coined by the ancient yellow calendar compilers relative to "auspicious day in the zodiac".
