The ancients used to say, it's a good day. What exactly is the ecliptic?

Whether it is a wedding or the opening of a luxury restaurant, people are always used to holding it on an auspicious day of the zodiac. Some elderly people even compare good days with their old calendars for good luck. This custom is not popular in modern times, but passed down from our ancestors' generation, which is more important than us modern people. In fact, the ecliptic originally refers to the orbit of the sun, and does not contain any meaning of praise or criticism, but the ancient people's thoughts are relatively ignorant, and this orbit line is mythical.

There is an old saying in China that lucky people have their own natures, which is not only a comfort to relatives and friends in language and soul, but also an ancient study of astrology and worship of God. In the ancient people's ideology, it was believed that God was in charge of everything, that leaders needed to worship heaven when they rose to high positions, and that they needed to pray for the opinions of the gods before fighting. There are countless activities to worship heaven, and experts who specialize in astrology can receive the highest royal courtesy.

At first, observers only observed the direction of the stars. After several generations of experience and exploration, they found that the sun has been walking in its own orbit step by step for many years, and its pace has never stopped. It is precisely because the sun keeps moving forward that it has brought human beings climate change, the change of seasons and the arrival of new life. These are great gifts, so this orbit line has become an auspicious symbol.

Born in the new era, we accepted the theory of atheism, learned more about the universe from the theories and research of astronomers in previous dynasties, and restored the original meaning of the word ecliptic. Although it doesn't make any sense to know that the zodiac is auspicious, the customs handed down over the years and people's sustenance for beautiful meanings have not changed.
