An auspicious day in the zodiac
The gods are divided into years, months, days and hours, and each has its own decision. The choice of auspicious days is mainly the choice of the day, just like fortune telling, it pays attention to the day. , but the choice of auspicious days is not to ignore the good or bad luck of the year, month, and time, but to observe each other and make comprehensive choices. The evil spirits of the zodiac and the underworld include Qinglong, White Tiger, Mingtang, Tianxing, Suzaku, Golden Chamber, Tiande, Yutang, Tianlao, Yuanwu, Siming, and Gouchen. The selection method calls Qinglong, Tiande, Yutang, Siming, Mingtang, and Jingui the six zodiacs. The so-called auspicious days of the zodiac are the days where these six gods are located. The day on which these six gods are on duty - the auspicious day of the zodiac, means that everything will be auspicious, do not avoid evil, and everything will go well.
2. Choosing auspicious days means choosing auspicious days according to a certain method, so the people directly call them "selecting days", "looking at days" and "picking days". In ancient times, it was also called "Juanji" and "Suji". At first glance, the art of choosing auspiciousness may seem bizarre and absurd, but in fact, it has something different from the academic principles of our ancestors. The various theories of good and bad fortune are not random fabrications and nonsense by alchemists, but are deduced based on certain theories. The theory of auspicious selection is roughly as follows: 1. There are many gods and evil spirits between heaven and earth, and their temperaments are good, evil, or both good and evil; 2. These evil spirits will interfere with and influence human affairs, and their abilities vary in size and strength; 3. The gods and evil spirits of good fortune and evil spirits each take turns "on duty" according to their own operating rules to deal with human affairs; 4. In this way, within a year, there are several different gods and evil spirits on duty every day, and the good or bad luck of their actions on that day Appropriate taboos are caused by the interaction between the gods and evil spirits on duty, either in conflict or harmony, or in restraint or balance. According to the principle of "whenever good luck is enough to defeat bad luck, follow the appropriate but not the taboo; whenever good and bad luck offset each other, good things and good things are still taboo; If it is not enough to defeat the evil, then we should follow the principle of "avoidance rather than adequacy" and finally make a comprehensive decision. In principle, every event has one or several auspicious gods that are most suitable for it and the evil spirits that are taboo for it. For example, the Eight Wind Touching Water Dragon hates people crossing the water by boat; it is never advisable to go out to the army if you are separated from the four. Traveling far; it is not advisable to return to a distant place. Therefore, the key to choosing good luck is to grasp the temperament, strength, good and evil, and the trajectory of various good and bad gods, and then pursue good luck and avoid bad luck according to the things to be handled. It must be noted that the so-called gods and evil spirits are just the laws of the natural movement of the sun, moon and five stars in the heaven and earth and their relationships with each other. A symbolic saying from the ancients. The gods are the natural laws of the movement of the sun, the moon and the five stars in the heaven and earth and their mutual relationships. The auspicious art of selecting the day and direction according to the gods is actually based on the laws of the natural movements of the sun, the moon and the five stars in the world and their mutual relationships. Therefore, it can be said that the art of auspicious selection is a number art that respects nature, obeys the natural order, and pays attention to the balance and harmony with nature. Behaviors must be in line with the principles of heaven and earth, otherwise, "losing things before they happen" will happen. These thoughts now seem to be of great epochal significance. Now we finally realize that we must live in harmony with nature and pay attention to environmental protection instead of conquering nature. The so-called "act according to nature and act in accordance with nature", our Our ancestors understood this truth a long time ago, and we have to show respect to them.
