What do you mean, seven don't go out and eight don't go home?

"Don't go out for seven days and don't go home for eight days" means that people at home can't choose to go out on the seventh, seventeenth and twenty-seventh day of the lunar calendar every month. People who are away from home can't choose to go home on any of the eighth, eighteenth and twenty-eighth days. In ancient times, "seven don't go out" was rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea, and you can't leave until you set it up. "Eight don't go home" refers to filial piety, filial piety, loyalty, faith, courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame. You must do these eight things well before you can go home.

In ancient times, it was usually three to five years before men went out to make a living because there was no convenient transportation. Therefore, before going out, you must arrange things at home before you can go. Men and women should not only know these eight external virtues, but also strictly abide by them. If they can't abide by these eight virtues, they will be sorry for their ancestors and their families, and they will have no face to go home. In modern times, this old adage should also be kept in mind at all times, inspiring us to face life more actively and hard!

The ancients regarded these as the basic principles of being a man. Anyone who breaks the law is sorry for his ancestors, sorry for his relatives, and ashamed to go home to see his elders in Jiangdong. Therefore, it is not what we misunderstood. This statement has also been misinformed by some unreasonable people, and even published an article on this truth, which led everyone to think it is true.

"Seven don't go out, eight don't go home" is an educational word left by our ancestors. China's 5,000-year-old civilization is extensive and profound, and every old saying handed down has its profound meaning. You must never be labeled as a feudal superstition and killed with a stick. We should not underestimate ourselves and forget the lessons of our ancestors.
