Pingzhi Daotu refers to repairing and leveling roads. In traditional society, roads were the lifeline for transportation and commerce, and potholes or standing water could endanger travelers and the transport of goods. Therefore, almanacs often listed this as an auspicious activity and recommended choosing an auspicious day to undertake it. In ancient times, such projects were often organized by the local government or collectively funded by the community. In modern times, it corresponds to road maintenance and pavement repair work.
