Why do you want to check the almanac?

Some time ago, an uncle at home asked me to help him buy a train ticket. I looked at it and chose March 7, the first day of the second lunar month. Why talk about the lunar calendar? This will be said later;

Then on the evening of March 6th, my uncle told me that my family wouldn't let me go on the first day, because there was a custom in the countryside that I wouldn't go out on the fifteenth day of the first day, so I changed my visa and found that I couldn't change it, so I had to refund it. Then I chose the nearest March 10, which is the fourth day of the second lunar month.

My uncle said no, but my family said fourth grade = accident. I said I would choose the sixth and eighth days, and he said yes, how wonderful; Then I watched it for a long time. There are no tickets except for the fourth and seventh days. Then I asked him if the seventh day would be all right.

He said, "Don't go out at 7 o'clock" …

Well, I realize that going out here or watching the lunar calendar in my hometown is not like young people can go to any day as long as they have tickets, but you ask some young people what day it is today, and they must tell you the solar calendar. When you ask him what the lunar calendar is, he will ask, "What is the lunar calendar?" What does it have to do with the lunar calendar? "

And you ask some people in my rural hometown, they don't know anything about today's solar calendar, but if you directly ask what day it is, they will clearly tell me what day it is (lunar calendar), where there is a temple fair, where to go to the market today, and if it is a special day, they will remember it clearly …

And we usually see Huang Li say that we shouldn't travel today, so we just look. We will still travel when we travel, but if we don't travel in the countryside, they really won't leave, so we must choose a good day to go again.

But now this old custom is slowly disappearing, and the yellow calendar may really be "yellow" in the future. No one in the younger generation will care about these things, and no one will notice them when they slowly disappear.

Some people may say, "These are superstitions and flaws to be removed";

What I want to say is that traditional custom is an ancient ceremony, where it is said that it can be deleted, but it can still be preserved after thousands of years, which is not unreasonable;

But even so, it hasn't been removed for thousands of years, which doesn't mean that it can't be removed now, and it doesn't need to be removed deliberately. The development of modern society is advancing by leaps and bounds. Look at the tall buildings and modern society around us. Maybe what won't disappear in the past thousands of years will disappear in just two or three generations. ...
