What is Date Selection?

The practice of choosing auspicious dates for important activities. Rooted in the almanac tradition, date selection considers the interaction of Jianchu day officers, stellar positions, Five Element relationships, and the individual's birth data. The Xieji Bianfang Shu provides the classical methodology, evaluating each activity against multiple celestial factors rather than assigning generic good or bad days.
