Among the twelve zodiac signs, "Qinglong, Tiande, Yutang, Siming, Tang Ming and Jingui" are called "Six Zodiac Days" (the "Eliminating Danger, Fixing, Sticking, Success and Opening" on the twelfth duty day is called "Little Zodiac Day"). When the six zodiac gods are on duty, everything is appropriate and they do not avoid evil spirits, that is, "the zodiac is auspicious."
