People think that they can't travel far on the seventh day because there is a folk saying that "seven people don't go out and eight people don't go home", which comes from Tujia people. Tujia people have given mysterious connotations to some incomprehensible natural and human phenomena in their long-term production activities. This mysterious connotation has become a taboo in Tujia production and life. The seventh day is the seventh evil day, also called "the day of man". Everything is inappropriate, especially to leave. The elders eat noodles on this day to stay at home, which means that they can tie their legs to prevent children from running around and being taken away by ghosts. Therefore, you can't travel far on the seventh day.

In traditional folk culture, it is not suitable to go out on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, and you can't get home on the eighth day, which is the so-called "seven don't go out, eight don't go home". The original intention of not going out is that men should go out and work hard. First of all, they should stabilize the rear. Seven kinds of "rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea" at home must be prepared before going out, that is, to tell everyone that the elderly and children at home should settle down before going out. Nowadays, many people think that they don't go out for seven days, such as July 17, which refers to the lunar calendar. They think it is unlucky to go out these days. Therefore, according to the folk saying, 17, 27 is not suitable for travel.
