Causing Death (Zhì Sǐ)
In the past, this term was a taboo for seeking medical treatment, traveling, or taking up an official post.
In traditional almanacs, 致死 (Zhìsǐ) is a malefic star whose literal meaning is directly related to death, making it highly taboo in the past. Records in almanacs indicate that on a 'Zhìsǐ' day, people would avoid important activities like seeking medical treatment, traveling far, or taking up an official post. This reflects the ancients' high regard for personal safety, believing that undertaking such activities on these days could pose risks to health or personal well-being. In modern times, few people strictly follow this taboo to arrange their lives, but it remains an example of time-related prohibitions in folk culture.
