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

Not going out for seven days and not going home for eight days are folk taboos in Xiangxi.

"Seven don't go out" means doing a good job in the rear area, and "eight don't go home" means that people who work outside can't go home without "filial piety, loyalty, courtesy and shame" because they are not only ashamed of themselves, but also of their families and ancestors.

And "eight don't go home" means not going home after going out, which means "filial piety, filial piety, loyalty, faith, courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame" These are the eight basic moral principles of the ancients. If you violate any of them, you are sorry for your ancestors and have no face to face your family.
