Building the Latrine (Kāi Cè)

Constructing a toilet.

Refers to the construction or digging of a new toilet. In the past, toilets were places for handling waste, and their location and timing of construction were believed to be related to a home's hygiene and feng shui. Therefore, projects like building a toilet that involve breaking ground and dealing with impure energy traditionally also require choosing an appropriate day to proceed.
