Well (Jǐng) is the 22nd of the 28 lunar mansions and one of the seven mansions of the Southern Vermilion Bird. In traditional calendrical and date-selection systems, the Well mansion is generally classified as auspicious. In the past, when arranging agricultural work, construction, or certain rituals, people might consult the almanac's indications regarding the Well mansion's fortune to seek smoothness and safety. This practice of correlating celestial mansions with human affairs and fortune is a characteristic of ancient Chinese folk culture and today largely exists as cultural knowledge.
