68. Chap. III. Sse-wei [OMITTED].

There is a popular belief that four things are dangerous
and bring misfortune viz. to enlarge a house at the west side, to
allow a banished man to ascend a tumulus, the intercourse with
women, during the first month after they have given birth to a
child, and the rearing of children born in the 1st and the 5th months,
who will cause the deaths of their parents. Wang Ch`ung combats
these superstitions.
