Results for "auspicious and inauspicious"
Since when has the choosing of auspicious and inauspicious days existed?
The practice of choosing auspicious and inauspicious days had already become a system by at least the 3rd century BCE, when handwritten day books in tombs from the Warring States, Qin and Han periods recorded days on which one should act and days on which one should refrain, according to a consistent logic. This is a historical fact about the age of the tradition, not evidence that auspicious days are truly better than inauspicious ones.
