April 2023 is an auspicious day for the grave to break ground.
Be careful when adding soil. When adding soil to ancestors, don't pat the grave on it, don't throw the soil with a shovel, and don't put the soil upside down. This is a sign of disrespect for our ancestors, but we should spread the soil evenly.
The auspicious day of the zodiac is a unique word in China's traditional calendar "Yellow Calendar", which refers to a day when everything is suitable. In the Gregorian calendar, "Qinglong, Tiande, Yutang, Siming, Tang Ming and Jingui" in the Twelve Gods are called the Six Zodiac Days, and "except, danger, determination, persistence, success and opening" in the Twelve Zodiac Days are also called the Little Zodiac Days. When the six gods of the zodiac are on duty, everything is suitable and does not avoid evil spirits, that is, "the zodiac is auspicious."
According to the law of the influence of celestial bodies and astrology on human beings, the ancients formulated the ecliptic underworld day, which provided some references and choices for China people to choose a day to avoid disaster. This auspicious culture has been deeply rooted in the thoughts of China people since ancient times, and has been influencing the lives of China people, and has formed a custom.
