How to resist the darkness in life

65438+ February. The fate with 20 17 will be exhausted; And the brand-new 20 18 is waiting for us not far ahead.

What about 20 18? No one can give a clear answer to such a question. At the end of the year and the New Year, we will certainly make some wishes and send many blessings as usual-this is really human nature. But we also know in our hearts that the new year is not necessarily happy, lucky and safe. Just like every year, we still have to face ugliness, darkness, injustice and bad luck that may not come.

Efforts and changes are worth doing. But in addition, when it comes to everyone, it is a modest but precious way of resistance to live your life seriously, attentively and with conscience.

Well, today's push is actually very simple-Book Review Jun has compiled a calendar of 20 18 for everyone. You may be blinded by too many things, but just like life itself, no matter how many choices you seem to have, you will eventually be able to accompany you through the years, which is unnecessary and impossible.

Time seems to be the most mysterious existence in the world. Calendars allow time to be understood and recorded, while pages on calendars make illusory time visible. When you tear it off your hand, you will feel the real passage of time, which is a sense of ritual.

My first impression of the calendar is ordinary and simple. Ordinary paper and simple numbers have rich and practical contents beyond the date-fortune telling, recipes, health knowledge, famous sayings, cultural common sense and so on. And the form is simple and direct.

A glimpse of the old calendar, the picture comes from the internet.

In recent years, as a cultural product, the forms of calendars have become more and more colorful. It is the general trend to make calendars with the contents and binding of a book or even a hardcover book. Many calendars are edited and published by publishing houses and publishing companies in the form of books, so they are called "calendar books". The most popular ones are Forbidden City Calendar, One-way Calendar and Species Calendar.

The elegant form and gorgeous decoration of calendar books give traditional functions a new experience, but they are also suspected of virtual beauty and over-marketing. Under the gorgeous binding, the content itself may become a form or a gimmick. It is also common for calendars bought home or given as gifts to accumulate dust in the corner.

Every kind of calendar tries to promise people a beautiful and fulfilling life, but in fact, of course not. However, the calendar is only an object after all, and the main body of life is people themselves. Therefore, it is necessary to get rid of the fog of form and marketing, but a well-designed calendar that matches one's nature and interests is indeed a good companion for life in the new year.

Ok, let's take a look at the beautiful calendar for 20 18 years.

The new look of the old yellow calendar

Some calendars, at first glance, follow the traditional "old yellow calendar" style, one page a day, tearing pages. However, the content contained in it is quite different.

One-way calendar (20 18)

Version: One-way Street Beijing United Publishing Company

When reading the old almanac, I always want to see the taboos of the day to decide the itinerary of the day. However, seeing such a suitable thing to do, this day will be full of emotions.

One-way Street's calendar this year has continued the previous style, taking a cool and artistic high and cold wind. Formally, the structure of the old almanac is refined, but it is much more refined. Calendars are divided into three colors: morning light, cast black and black gold, all of which are cold and solemn.

National calendar, self-cultivation (20 18)

Version: National Library Press

At first glance, the content of this calendar published by Guotu is similar to that of the old calendar, and it is also a combination of basic information such as dates, solar terms and festivals and aphorisms. However, in form, it is much more beautiful. Last year, the theme of the national calendar was "Herbal Nourishing Year", which is a traditional theme of health preservation. This year, it was changed to "self-cultivation and morality", which can be said to be in the same strain.

The aphorisms in the calendar are all selected from the so-called "Three Wonders of Life": Caigen Tan, Xiaoyou Jiyou and Nighttalk around the stove. The sentences are clear and easy to understand, and you can understand the ancient philosophy of life when browsing. Whether you like it or not, whether you can accept it or not, of course, depends on yourself.

Family Calendar (20 18)

Produced by: polite and courteous

In the past two years, the family calendar has also accumulated a lot of audiences, and its lively and festive style seems to complement the traditional New Year in China. And its own slogan is: the ritual sense of the old yellow calendar. The style of the pictures inside is also full of China flavor, and there are two forms to choose from: flipping and tearing. In addition, as an old almanac of the new era, it also keeps up with the fashion trends and is equipped with an exclusive APP…… .................................................................................................................................................

Read a poem every day.

Although it is a "calendar book", it is different from books after all. It should be practical, and the accompanying reading experience is mostly scattered and broken. This coincides with the small space and independence of poetry. It can be seen that in the calendar market, calendars with poetry as the theme account for a large part. Reading a poem every day is also a sense of ritual.

Daily Poetry Reading Calendar (20 18)

Version: New Classic Emerging Publishing House

When you are experiencing this day, an ancient man wrote a poem on this day. This is perhaps the most beautiful part of this calendar. The poems chosen every day are poems written on that day in history. For example, the date of 20 18 1 is 1 1 month 15 in the lunar calendar, and the editor chose Li Qingzhao's "Fisherman's Passion". She said: "Today's New Year's Day coincides with 15." Perhaps when reading poetry, there will be a feeling of dialogue with the ancients.

Nowadays, the increasingly hot trend of calendar books began with the Forbidden City Calendar.
