Do Not Engage in Other Activities

This is a note found in the Chinese almanac (Huang Li), usually following a list of 'auspicious' (Yi) activities. It means that on that day, only the specific activities listed are suitable for undertaking, and all other activities should be avoided. This indicates that the day's auspicious energy is highly concentrated and applies only to a few specific areas. Traditional belief held that if one were to undertake activities other than those listed as 'auspicious' on such a day, the results might be poor or even invite negative consequences. Modern users understand it as a day with strict limitations, requiring caution to only do what is explicitly permitted on the list.
