Introduction to historical yearbook

When colleagues talk about the past, people often say, which year is this old almanac? You're still looking through the old calendar! The old almanac here refers to the past. There are also outdated systems or regulations, or some old methods or. It is also used to describe those outdated ideologies.

Some people, before going out to do business, should turn over the yellow calendar to see if it is good luck or bad luck to avoid, and then stop. The yellow calendar here is almost the same as the current calendar. It shows many sets of calendars, such as Gregorian calendar, Chinese calendar and official calendar, and adds many rules and contents related to seeking good luck and avoiding evil, so that people can choose auspicious days for marriage, breaking ground, traveling and opening business. Some people say it's science, others say it is. But it affects our lives all the time.

So how did the "Old Yellow Calendar" come from?

The Old Yellow Calendar has a history of several thousand years in China. According to legend, it was created by Xuanyuan Huangdi, so it was called "Yellow Calendar". Later, it was promulgated by the emperor, so it was also called "imperial calendar". Gregorian calendar originated from astrology and lunar agriculture. In ancient times, agriculture depended on the sky for food. When the weather is fine, it is a bumper harvest, and when the weather is bad, it is a poor harvest. People sum up the changes of the weather and find the laws from them, thus forming an almanac. I have done this job before. That was when I was in high school. The school set up a meteorological group, and I participated with two other students. Every day, we regularly open the louver box of the meteorological group and record the temperature, wind direction, rain or shine, etc. Based on this, the future weather is predicted and the latest weather forecast is released to students. The Gregorian calendar arranges the year, month and day according to a certain calendar, and provides the date table of the 24 solar terms, as well as the good and bad luck of each day and the zodiac fortune. Also known as "calendar day", "constitutional book" and "general book", but because the book and mourning are homonyms, it is also called "general victory" because of taboo. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, because the name of Emperor Qianlong was, in order to avoid taboo, the old yellow calendar was renamed "Stone".

China is one of the first countries in the world to invent calendars. According to archaeological findings, there was a calendar as early as 4,000 years ago, and there was an almanac recorded by Oracle Bone Inscriptions more than 3,000 years ago. In the ninth year of Daiwa in Tang Wenzong and Liu Ang (AD 835), two kinds of calendars appeared, one is the version calendar, and the other is the royal calendar. In order to prevent the almanac from being printed indiscriminately, Tang Wenzong ordered the almanac to be approved and printed by the emperor, so it became an authentic imperial calendar.

The calendar recorded in the Imperial Calendar is generally limited to one year, and it will be changed in the second year. Just like today's calendars, they are changed every year. Therefore, the calendar of the following year will be printed at the end of each year. If you compare the current date with the previous imperial calendar, it certainly doesn't fit.

Zhou Yiliang, a famous scholar, first put forward that the Huangli is an ancient book with accurate chronology, which can't be reproduced at will and doesn't need to be reproduced afterwards. It is a sign to identify ancient books and determine the age.

The old imperial calendar in the special era also provided a warning for future generations. For example, the constitution of the thirty-fifth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty. Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty reigned for 34 years, and there was no "Guangxu 35 years" at all. The so-called "thirty-five years of Guangxu" should be Xuantong Yuannian (1909). Because the "Imperial Calendar" had to be printed in advance at the end of the previous year, the printing department could not predict when the emperor would be replaced, so the fallacy of "Guangxu thirty-five years" appeared, so that when the "Imperial Calendar" was published, Athena Chu's "Xuantongyuan Year" was stamped on the cover for revision. 19 12 was engraved by the Qing royal family with the constitutional book of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty for four years. 19 1 1 0 years after the outbreak of Wuchang, the Qing emperor abdicated on December 25th, the third year of Xuantong (19 12, 12 February), so there was no history. Yuan Shikai, who dreamed of being an emperor for 80 years, also carved the Almanac of the First Year of Hong Xian (19 15). These ancient almanac became the evidence of dynasty change, which is not only the memory of an era, but also the "heavy weapon" pursued by border people.

Today, old calendar books are still favored by people. Many people still have the habit of seeing likes and dislikes when traveling. In the case of weddings, funerals and weddings, they should choose their luck and hope to accelerate the disaster. This was also left by the ancestors of the Yellow Emperor.

What about you? Is the old yearbook still turning over?
