How did the old almanac come from? Made according to the lunar calendar

Whenever we get married or an elder in our family dies, people in our family will habitually see some taboos and precautions in the old calendar. These taboos are often considered to be very accurate representatives, but how did the old almanac create these?

The yellow calendar, or imperial calendar, is based on the lunar calendar in China, and many calendars indicate the good or bad luck of a day. According to legend, the Yellow Calendar was created by Emperor Xuanyuan, so it is called the Yellow Calendar, which is also commonly known as the "General Book" among the people. However, because the word "book" in Tongshu is homophonic with the word "lose", it is also called "Tong Sheng" because it is taboo. The main contents of the Gregorian calendar are the date table of the 24 solar terms, the good and bad luck of each day, the fortune of the zodiac and so on. Various terms in the yellow calendar.

Agriculture depends on the weather, and the harvest is not good when the weather is good. With the passage of time, an almanac has been formed, which arranges years, months and days according to a certain calendar and provides relevant data. In feudal times, it was promulgated by the emperor, so it was also called "imperial calendar". In ancient times, the old yellow calendar covered information related to people's living habits and production methods at that time, and subjectively hoped to satisfy people's wishes in order to accelerate prosperity and overcome disasters.

According to legend, the yellow calendar was created by Xuanyuan Huangdi, so it is called the yellow calendar. It was produced on the basis of the China lunar calendar, and was mainly used to guide farmers' farming opportunities, so it was also called the "lunar calendar". Its main contents are the schedule of the 24 solar terms, good luck and bad luck every day, the luck of the zodiac and so on. Details are as follows:

Monthly contents: the contents of the monthly calendar include: the size of the month; Monthly construction; Pay for festivals and the beginning and end of this month; The value of the month; The orientation of the moon; The moon, stars, etc. Contains daily content.

Taboos in the Yellow Calendar are calculated according to the method of arranging gods and evil spirits by Chen Cong School. For specific methods, please refer to "Xieji Fangshu". Chen Cong School, as its name implies, is related to astrology, but its subsequent development deviated from the actual astrology and adopted fictional stars, namely gods and evil souls. Through the relationship between year, month and day, we can calculate the auspicious gods and evil spirits of this day. For example, on today's B-Hai Day, auspicious gods have virtue, and evil spirits have monthly punishment.

If you get the evil spirit, you can infer today's taboo according to the evil spirit. Different gods and evil spirits have different functions. For example, "Bujiang" is an auspicious god, which is beneficial to marriage. If you don't get married, you should generally get married. However, "emphasizing sunshine" has a destructive effect on marriage. If today is an important day, it is not suitable for marriage. If there are many powerful people today, then everything is not suitable.
