The Pò rì (破日) is considered the most inauspicious day among the twelve Day Spirits (Jiànchú Shí'èr Shén), embodying the meaning of 'breaking' or 'ruin'. Traditional almanacs generally held that this day was only suitable for demolishing dilapidated houses or seeking medical treatment, and all other affairs should be avoided. This concept of day quality reflects a cautious attitude toward inauspicious days in traditional folk customs, where people would particularly avoid undertaking important activities on such days.
