7 don't go out 8 don't go home superstitious?
Seven don't go out. Its original intention is that men should stabilize the rear first, and seven kinds of "rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea" at home must be prepared before going out, which means telling everyone that the elderly and children at home should settle down before going out. But now many people think that they don't go out every "July", such as July, 17th and 27th, which refers to the lunar calendar, and they think it's unlucky to go out these days.
Eight don't go home. Just like not going out for seven days, it has a similar meaning, that is, if you don't go home every eight days, you will be considered as having a bad life. Of course, this is a misunderstanding of the meaning of old friends. The original intention of this sentence is that when going out, you should know the eight virtues of "filial piety, loyalty, faithfulness, courtesy, righteousness and honesty" and strictly abide by them. As long as you don't do one, you can't cross the red line. This is the rule that tells people to be human.
Rural people follow many principles and pay attention to "seven don't go out and eight don't go home" when traveling or working. That is, go out from home to avoid the seventh, seventeenth and twenty-seventh days. When you come home from other places, you should avoid the eighth, eighteenth and twenty-eighth days. Because some people say it's unlucky to go home.
