Why do the people concerned say, seven don't go out, eight don't go home, three six nine, go out?

The saying that seven people don't go out and eight people don't go home comes from Tujia people: taboo culture has a long history in China. This kind of culture is different because of regional and ethnic differences, and the taboo in Tujia production and life in the deep inland is one of them. Tujia people have given a mysterious connotation to some incomprehensible natural and human phenomena in their long-term production activities. This mysterious connotation has become a taboo in Tujia production and life. Agriculture has been in a dominant position in Tujia area for a long time, which has formed some taboos related to agricultural production. For example, in Qingming, long summer and April 8th, it is forbidden to use cattle, so let the cattle rest, otherwise they will get sick and affect agricultural production. At the same time, there are many taboos when planting cultivated land. For example, the "cock" does not cultivate. Work hard every "E", because "E" and "error" are homonyms, that is, working every "E" is suspected of hindering the growth of crops. When feeding livestock, Tujia people also have many taboos. When raising livestock such as pigs and cows, Tujia people should look at their physical appearance. If the pig has inverted rotation and five claws, it is taboo to raise it. Five lactating female buffaloes also belong to the category of taboo. Because the proverb "five milkshakes, if you don't die, you will be defeated" makes people have to stay away from it. In Tujia areas, people attach great importance to geomantic omen, and they pay much attention to building houses and choosing houses. When choosing a house site, Tujia people avoid having a trough in front of the house and no "back mountain" behind it. Because there is such a proverb in Tujia area: a ditch in front of the house, you will go to jail if you don't go to court. In daily life, Tujia people also have various taboos. According to the month, there are: no eagle shooting birds in the first month, no dog crotch in February, no snake copulation in March, no pair of people in April, no fish in the river in May, and no sweat and clothes in June. At the same time, there is also the saying that there are seven bees, eight monsters and nine plagues, that is, in August and September, bees are afraid to come home. In Tujia area, people call July the Day of the Dead. Therefore, there are taboos about not sitting on the threshold in July and not shaving children's heads. Sitting on the threshold is said to block the way home for the soul of the "dead", and the child will get sores if he shaves his head. For women, pregnant women (Tujia people call them four-eyed people) can't see some new things, because "four-eyed people" have the most powerful eyes, and they will suffer some troubles after watching them. Mother and son can't go to other people's homes before the full moon, saying that people with "empty stomachs" are unlucky to come home. Women can't cross a man's pole. It's bad luck to cross a man's pole. Go out laymen have seven don't go out, eight don't return, go out in 99 a lot of said. That is, don't go out on every seven days, don't go home on every eight days, and it is best to go out on every nine days. Snake days in January, April, July and October, rooster days in winter, and ox days in March, June, September and December are regarded as "red evil days" in Tujia area. It is forbidden to go out for a long trip in these days. Because there is a saying that "when you go out to meet the red evil spirit, you will definitely not return home." Other aspects are: children don't need to point to the moon, but they do. The moon will come down and cut off your ears when you are asleep. Taboos in Tujia production and life are produced in production practice and life practice. With the progress of science and technology and the development of society, it will gradually die out. But in order to fully understand Tujia culture, we should pay attention to it and study it.
