According to the *Chanjing* (Classic of Childbirth): "Fan Zhi" refers to specific days in the lunar month that are believed to bring harm, hence the name. If a woman in confinement violates this taboo, it is considered fatal, and one must be extremely cautious. If a postpartum woman encounters Fan Zhi days or months, she should sit on cowhide or on ash, ensuring that dirty water, lochia, or other impure substances do not touch the ground; touching the ground is said to cause death. Furthermore, all washing activities should be conducted using containers to catch the wastewater, and this practice should cease only after the taboo period has passed.
Calculation of Fan Zhi based on the Earthly Branch of the year:
For those born in the Year of Zi, Fan Zhi falls on Shen; July delivery requires avoidance. For those born in Chou, Fan Zhi falls on You; August delivery requires avoidance. For those born in Yin, Fan Zhi falls on Xu; September delivery requires avoidance. For those born in Mao, Fan Zhi falls on Hai; October delivery requires avoidance. For those born in Chen, Fan Zhi falls on Zi; November delivery requires avoidance. For those born in Si, Fan Zhi falls on Chou; December delivery requires avoidance. For those born in Wu, Fan Zhi falls on Yin; January delivery requires avoidance. For those born in Wei, Fan Zhi falls on Mao; February delivery requires avoidance. For those born in Shen, Fan Zhi falls on Chen; March delivery requires avoidance. For those born in You, Fan Zhi falls on Si; April delivery requires avoidance.
