Looking at the sun can also be called "picking up the sun" and "choosing the day", and it was also called "Ji Juan" and "Ghost Ji" in ancient times. In the traditional culture of China, it is believed that astronomical phenomena will affect people's fortune, so a traditional calendar is made according to the changes of astronomical phenomena, and according to the distribution of stars, the time is divided into ecliptic day and underworld day, which is a good day for everything and a bad day for things.
Out of a psychology of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, the art of choosing good fortune appeared very early in ancient China, which is also commonly known as "seeing the sky". Look at the date according to the Gregorian calendar, or directly ask the Feng Shui master to help set the date.
Marriage is an important event in life, so we should choose a good day for a folk wedding. In ancient Confucian etiquette, this step was an invitation meeting. First, choose auspicious days in the zodiac, or days with the words "suitable for marriage" clearly written on them. Then, according to the date of birth of both parties to the marriage, the days when their zodiac signs conflict and the festivals in local folk customs are removed, so that the rest of the days can be regarded as good days for them.
Although it is superstitious to look at the date, this custom has far-reaching influence in the traditional culture of China. Even in modern society, people will habitually choose a good day to get married. Whether superstitious or not, this is always an expectation for a better life.
