Twenty-eight mansions
Also called: 28 mansions, xiu, xiù, 二十八宿
二十八宿 (èr shí bā xiù), the Chinese almanac's 28 lunar mansions. The almanac gives each DAY one mansion, in a fixed 28-day rotation - so it is the day's assigned mansion rather than a reading of where the Moon actually is. Fourteen count as auspicious and fourteen as inauspicious for choosing a date.
