How these ancestral rites dates are selected
Every date on this page contains ancestral rites in the traditional almanac’s auspicious activity list. The count is generated from the same daily source used by the full calendar pages. It is an activity-specific filter, so the presence of this label does not cancel other cautions recorded for the date.
Open a candidate date and review the complete “Do” and “Avoid” lists, its day pillar, branch clash and lucky-hour table. If several dates remain, practical availability and any personal compatibility checks should decide the final choice.
