Capture
capturing pests or birds and beasts.
In traditional almanacs, this refers to the capture of harmful insects, birds, or beasts. In old agricultural societies, people needed to drive away or capture pests, birds, or wild animals that damaged crops to ensure a harvest. Choosing an auspicious day for this was intended to make the task go smoothly and avoid unnecessary harm or accidents. The selection of dates for such activities reflects the ancestors' emphasis on agricultural production.
