Traditional Chinese almanac (建除十二神) — best days for ancestral offerings, temple visits, religious ceremonies, and spiritual practices.
Temple visits, ancestral offerings, and religious ceremonies are among the activities most explicitly covered in traditional Chinese almanacs. Officers 成 Succeed and 开 Open are auspicious for ceremonial purposes, while 满 Fulfill is particularly associated with ancestral veneration. The dates flagged as excellent carry strong historical usage going back to Han dynasty ritual calendars.
