Wei Day

The 'Wei' day represents 'danger and caution' and belongs to the Twelve Day Officers (Jianchu) system. Traditionally, it is considered a day to avoid risky activities like climbing heights, traveling by boat, or making journeys, requiring extra attention to safety. It is important to note that this 'Wei' day and the 'Wei' lodge of the Twenty-Eight Mansions are written with the same character but belong to different systems; the former is a day category, and the latter is an asterism name.
