When is forgiveness day?

There are four auspicious days in a year that are "no taboo". The ancients believed that, in any case, God would not blame these four days, so this day is commonly known as "God forgives", that is, Wuyin Day after beginning of spring, Wu Jiari after Xia Hou, Five Gods Day after beginning of autumn and Jiazi Day after beginning of winter.

People believe that heaven has the virtue of good life, and it is very pitiful to see all beings running for their livelihood, so they are prepared to forgive people some crimes on some specific days, which is the so-called "Heaven Forgiveness Day". In ancient times, the emperor would also learn from heaven. At a certain time, the time for the emperor to forgive the world was often on the "God forgives the day".

Don't think that God is merciful every day, and there are not many "days of forgiveness" in a year. Generally speaking, there is only one "forgiveness day" in each season. For example, in 2022, it was recorded in the Star Book that "the date of forgiveness was Wuyinchun, Wujiaxia, Wushenqiu and Jiazidong".

In the eyes of the people, repentance should be valued on the day of forgiveness, and repentance should not be despised. In life, if a person knows his mistake and expresses regret, everyone will think that he has realized it and will choose to forgive him, especially before God. If you see a person who can truly repent, you will let bygones be bygones on the day of forgiveness.

We humans are pursuing progress, and we will pray for blessing after repentance. The so-called happiness is to pray to God to satisfy our wishes, such as seeking wealth, getting married and studying. On the day of "God forgives", people will make sacrifices, burn incense and make wishes.
