What is an auspicious day?

What exactly does auspicious day mean?

The word "auspicious day" appears frequently in China folk culture. In civil life activities, we often hear or see weddings, funerals, sacrifices, occupations, business cooperation, building houses, business trips, etc. And we all need to look for "auspicious day" to make our work smooth, especially in the period of the revival of traditional culture in China, the idiom "auspicious day" has become hot again. There is a fault in China's traditional folk culture, so that many modern people don't understand the origin of "auspicious day", so blind pursuers appear and regard it as a classic: one-sided critics regard it as a scourge. Waiting for strange things in society.

So, what is an auspicious day? "ecliptic" is a term in ancient astronomy, and the ecliptic is the orbit of the earth around the sun. Its astronomical theory originated in ancient Babylon and was introduced into ancient Greece, from Greece to India around the Gregorian calendar, and from Sui and Tang Dynasties to China with the translation of Buddhist scriptures. At that time, China's astronomical calendar had a mature astrological system of 28 constellations, so the introduction of the zodiac did not have much impact on China's traditional astronomy. It was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty that Christian missionaries introduced a large number of western astronomy to China, and the zodiac was gradually widely used.

It's just that the location of the zodiac is the same as the solar calendar in China, and the distribution of the 24 solar terms and the 28 nights is the same, which is why the zodiac is integrated into China astronomy. The formation of China planetarium astrology system itself is based on the ancient astrology theory, so the concept of constellation is naturally used by astrology. He not only used astrology, but also played a great role in agriculture and weather forecast.

In fact, "the auspicious day of the ecliptic" is explained in a great sense from the weather forecast. Imagine what will happen to activities such as marriage, funeral, business cooperation, building breaking, business trip, tourism, and even natural disasters? I don't think anyone wants this to happen.

The word "auspicious day" is not a superstition, it represents a longing for all good things, which is understandable. As for the "old calendar" that guides you to find a good day to see a doctor, make clothes, even take a bath and get a haircut, you don't have to abide by it. Because that is a thing of the past, there are indeed some dross in traditional culture. When we inherit and carry forward traditional culture, we should "take its essence and discard its dross". Make the past serve the present and make foreign things serve China. "(quotations from Chairman Mao). And "auspicious day" is an example of the combination of Chinese and western.

Therefore, "auspicious day" is not a bad thing in some ideologies, such as when will the Ninth National Games be held? What time does it close? The Preparatory Committee for the 9th National Games in Guangdong Province has put a lot of thought into this matter. After careful study and soliciting opinions from many parties, two "auspicious days" were finally selected; Opening ceremony 200 1 year 1 1 month 1 day, closing ceremony 200 1 year1day 25; What? Isn't it ridiculous that the grand National Games should be like this? Before jumping to conclusions, please take a look at the following examples:

Due to the typhoon landing, the opening ceremony of the 5th National Games in Shanghai was temporarily postponed for two days.

Coincidentally, at the opening ceremony of the 6th National Games held in Guangzhou on1October 20th, 1987 165438, it suddenly rained cats and dogs ... The originally peaceful and warm celebration atmosphere was more or less destroyed by this ignorant heavy rain.

On the morning of February 20th, 2000, the Hong Kong International Marathon started in cold and humid weather. The athletes were at a loss, 10 athletes turned to the temporary ambulance station for help on the way. Five people were in a semi-coma after crossing the finish line, and one of them was convulsed all over. Think about it, it would be a great pity if the Ninth National Games were held in the rain. In view of this, meteorologists provide scientific suggestions for the choice of auspicious days in the Ninth National Games. It is understood that meteorologists have analyzed the meteorological changes of 195 1- 1999 in the past 49 years, thus determining the specific time of the Ninth National Games.

People in ancient China paid attention to "the right time, the right place and the harmony of people" to achieve great things. It is also reasonable to explain it from the perspective of modern science. Among them, the word "weather" includes meteorological conditions to a great extent.

I also hope that some cultural scholars will face the tradition. ......

An auspicious day

Gods and demons are divided into years, months and days, and each has its own master. The choice of auspicious day is mainly the choice of day, just like fortune telling, but the choice of auspicious day is not good or bad regardless of year, month and time, but depends on the other party and comprehensive choice. The evil spirits in the underworld of the ecliptic include Qinglong, Baihu, Tang Ming, Tianxun, Suzaku, Jingui, Tiande, Yutang, Tiancang, Yuan Wu, Siming and Gouchen.

Second, choosing an auspicious day is to choose an auspicious day according to a certain method, so people directly call it "choosing a day", "watching a day" and "picking a day". In ancient times, it was also called "Ji Juan" and "Ji Jiao". At first glance, the art of choosing good luck seems bizarre and absurd, but in fact, it is an academic theory different from our old ancestors. All kinds of theories about good fortune and bad luck are not fabricated and nonsense by alchemists, but are derived from some theories. The theory of auspicious choice is roughly as follows: first, there are many gods and evil spirits between heaven and earth, and their temperament is good and evil, or both; Second, these gods and evil spirits will interfere with and influence human affairs, with different abilities; Thirdly, Zhu Ji and Shen's evil spirits take turns to "be on duty" to deal with human affairs according to different operating rules; Four, in this way, within a year, there are a number of different gods and evil spirits on duty every day, and the good or ill luck of doing things on that day should be avoided, that is, the interaction between the gods and evil spirits on duty, or conflict or harmony, or containment or balance, in line with "where good luck wins, it must not be avoided; Where good luck and bad luck are balanced, what is good and happy is still taboo; If you are not lucky enough, you will consider it comprehensively before making a decision. In principle, everything has one or more auspicious gods that are most suitable for it and monsters that are taboo for it. For example, the eight winds touch the hose and hate people crossing the water by boat; It is absolutely inappropriate to leave the army for a long trip; It is not advisable to go too far to avoid it. Therefore, the key to choosing good luck is to master the temperament, strength, severity of good and evil, and running track of all kinds of evil spirits, and then, according to the things to be dealt with, seek good luck and avoid evil. It must be explained that the so-called gods and evil spirits are only the laws of natural movements of heaven, earth, sun, moon and five stars and their relationships. Gods and demons are synonymous with these laws or relationships, and there is no such thing as gods or demons, which is a symbolic statement of the ancients. God and evil god are the laws of the movement of heaven, earth, natural sun, moon and five stars and their relationship. Choosing good luck is actually based on the natural laws of the heavens and the earth, the sun, the moon and the five stars and their relationship. Therefore, it can be said that transportation selection is a mathematical technology that respects nature, obeys natural order and pays attention to balance and harmony with nature. As the saying goes, as a member of the vast world, human beings should make their actions conform to the reality of heaven and earth, otherwise, they will "lose something before doing anything." "Now, these ideas are of great significance to the times. Now we finally realize that we should live in harmony with nature and pay attention to environmental protection instead of conquering nature. As the saying goes, "go with nature, go with nature", our old ancestors have long understood this truth, and we should show respect to them.
