Peng Zu is a legendary Taoist pioneer in the pre-Qin period of my country. He is famous for his good health and long life. The ancient book "Sou Shen Ji" says: "Peng Zu is also a doctor in the Yin Dynasty. His surname is Qian. Named Keng. The grandson of Emperor Zhuanxu and the middle son of the Lu Zhong family. He lived by the end of the Shang Dynasty and was named seven hundred years old. "Peng Zu summarized people's taboos in daily life, which he wrote today. Understand the meaning of Peng Zubaiji: "If the Mao does not penetrate the well, the water spring will not be fragrant".
"If you don't dig a well on Mao, the water will not be fragrant." This sentence means don't dig a well on Mao. The ancients believed that the Mao month itself was the time when groundwater was most depleted, because the Mao moon trees were already strong and the underground water had been absorbed by the trees. When you dig a well to get water at this time, the water will naturally not smell fragrant, because the fragrance in the water has been absorbed by all living things.
In addition, there are also opinions that the so-called "not fragrant" is related to the living principles of the ancients, because the ancients have always emphasized that people do not compete with nature or things. People think well, but all things must survive, and what they need is harmony and harmony. Drilling wells to draw water when you shouldn't is not living according to the laws of nature. Such a life will be difficult to be practical, sleep well, and eat well.
What does Mao Ri mean?
In ancient China, the year was recorded by the stems and branches, that is, the heavenly stems and earthly branches were used to form sixty sixties to record the year, month, day and time. Mao is one of the twelve earthly branches. Mao day is the day when the earthly branch is Mao. There are five of them, one appears every 12 days. Of course, the heavenly stems are different, namely Yimao, Dingmao, Jimao, Xinmao and Gui. Mao is on duty in turn, and every 60 days there is a day with the same heavenly stems and earthly branches, so there are five to six same Mao days every year.
The judgment of good or bad luck on the Mao day is based on the balance of the five elements and one's own needs, combined with the heavenly stems and earthly branches of the year, month, day, and time, as well as the heavenly stems and earthly branches of the Grand Canal, Fate Palace, etc. If the Mao is needed by oneself, then it is unlucky when it is in opposition to the Mao, and it is auspicious when it is born or prosperous. On the contrary, if Mao is not needed by oneself, then it is auspicious when it is in conflict with the Mao, and it is auspicious when it is born or prosperous. It's a bad time.
