Chariot (Zhěn) is the last of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, part of the Southern Vermilion Bird. In traditional almanac classifications of auspicious and inauspicious days, it is generally considered an auspicious mansion. In the past, days when Chariot was deemed the ruling mansion were considered relatively suitable for various activities. Its planetary association is Water, and its symbolic creature is the earthworm. Like other mansions, the auspicious or inauspicious nature of Chariot is a part of the ancient date-selection culture, reflecting the ancients' understanding of the connection between celestial phenomena and human affairs.
