What is an auspicious day?
An auspicious day is a unique term in the traditional Chinese calendar "Huangli" (perpetual calendar), which refers to a day when everything is auspicious. In the almanac, the "Qinglong, Tiande, Yutang, Siming, Mingtang and Jinkui" among the twelve evil spirits are called the Six Yellow Roads (the "Chu, Wei, Ding, Zhi, Cheng and Kai" among the twelve on-duty days are called the Small Yellow Road days). When the six Yellow Road gods are on duty, everything goes well and there is no need to avoid evil, which is the "auspicious day of the Yellow Road". The ancients established the yellow and black days based on the laws of the impact of the movement of celestial bodies and stars on humans, thus providing a certain reference and choice for the Chinese people to choose auspicious days and avoid misfortune. This culture of choosing auspicious days has been deeply rooted in the Chinese people's thoughts since ancient times, affecting the lives of the Chinese people all the time, and has become a custom.
The significance of Laba Festival
Laba Festival, commonly known as "Laba", is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The ancients had the tradition of worshiping their ancestors and gods and praying for a good harvest and good luck. In some areas, there is a custom of drinking Laba porridge. According to legend, this day is the day when Buddha Shakyamuni attained enlightenment, and is called the "Dharma Treasure Festival", which is one of the grand festivals in Buddhism.
The month at the end of the year is called "La", which has three meanings: one is that "La means connection", implying the alternation of the old and the new (recorded in "Book of Sui·Rituals"); the second is that "La is the same as hunting", referring to hunting to obtain animals for offering sacrifices to ancestors and gods, and "La" is written on the side of "meat", which means using meat for "winter sacrifice"; the third is that "La is to drive away epidemics and welcome spring." Laba Festival is also known as "Buddha's Enlightenment Festival" or "Enlightenment Meeting". In fact, it can be said that the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is the origin of Laba Day.
