Mǎo Xiù is the 18th of the 28 Lunar Mansions and is one of the seven mansions belonging to the Western White Tiger. In traditional systems of star observation and date selection, Mǎo Xiù is often marked as an inauspicious mansion. This means that historical almanacs or calendars might advise avoiding days when Mǎo Xiù is in charge, especially when arranging important or sensitive activities. This classification of auspiciousness and inauspiciousness originates from ancient astronomical observations and symbolic associations. Modern people mostly regard it as a long-standing cultural phenomenon or folk knowledge.
