Day of Reaping
One of the Twelve Day Officers (建除十二神), named for the meaning of 'reaping and storing'. Traditionally suitable for receiving wealth or adding a family member, but unfavorable for travel or burial.
The Day of Reaping is one of the Twelve Day Officers (建除十二神), symbolizing harvest and collection. Traditionally, it is considered suitable for activities related to 'reaping', such as receiving money, acquiring property, or welcoming a new member into the family. Old almanacs often noted that this day is inauspicious for long journeys or funerals, as it emphasizes stability and restraint, making it unsuitable for outward expansion or matters involving separation. This reflects the agricultural society's values of harvest and savings. Modern people occasionally still refer to such traditional date-selection principles when handling financial or family affairs.
