What does visiting the sick in the yellow calendar mean?

Visiting the sick in the yellow calendar means that in the traditional culture of China, people will judge whether it is appropriate to visit patients according to the good or bad luck in the yellow calendar. Good days and bad days in the Gregorian calendar include heavenly stems, earthly branches, five elements and twenty-eight stars. By analyzing the combination and relationship of these elements, we can get the auspicious day and auspicious day of a date. Therefore, in some areas and families, it is a very serious thing to take the almanac to visit the sick.

In China culture, visiting patients is a way to show concern and sympathy. However, due to some reasons or personal customs, some people will take the Gregorian calendar as an important guide and choose the date of treatment according to the auspicious, unlucky and taboo in the Gregorian calendar to show respect. Some people think that visiting patients on auspicious days can cure diseases and bring good luck to patients; Some people think that visiting patients on the day of death will bring ominous signs to patients and even worsen their condition.

With the change of society and people's ideas, some people began to gradually give up the custom of visiting the sick in the yellow calendar and put the health and needs of patients first. For them, no matter which day they have time, they will visit the patients, and the zodiac will not affect their behavior. Although there is a certain folk tradition and cultural background in visiting the sick in the Huangli calendar, in modern society, we should pay more attention to medical treatment and the cultural atmosphere of mutual concern.
