Why the ancients were superstitious about the number "7"

Probably because the number seven is widely used! Some of the meanings it symbolizes are completely incomparable with other numbers.

First of all, like the seventh day of July in our country now, it is the Qixi Festival in our country, that is, Valentine's Day. Then every week is seven days, which is related to seven.

In fact, in some traditional cultures of our country, seven has many meanings. The desires in the world, these will be calculated by seven. The Big Dipper and 28 stars in the sky are also made up of four sevens.

And after every child is born, there will be a ceremony of washing seven. After everyone dies, there will be the first seven souls. Seven is not only a cycle, but also the stars in the sky, which runs through the great cycle of life and death on earth.

It is ubiquitous in our life, which is unmatched by other characters. The ancient people were superstitious about Seven because they had good expectations for Seven.

If ancient people like or taboo something, it must be because it has something to do with their lives. When they can treat it in the right way, they think they can get good treatment from it and realize their expectations.

This is a fundamental point that feudal superstition has a great influence on people's thinking. But belief seven, in fact, cannot be called superstition. Superstition as I understand it will have a bad influence on people.

However, the existence of "Seven" can be called a kind of China traditional culture, a kind of traditional culture spread. No matter what the number 7 is and what role it plays in our life, it really runs through the culture of our country for thousands of years.
