Are taboos in the yellow calendar credible?

Taboos in the yellow calendar are credible because the formal yellow calendar is compiled according to the actual situation, and its main contents are the 24 solar terms, daily taboos, dry branches and so on. Part of the content is based on reality, including astronomical meteorology, seasons, taboos in people's daily life, etc., which can guide working people to practice.

For example, it is not suitable for "burial" before and after "fright", because insects begin to breed and move this season, and people buried in it will soon be damaged by insects. It is not suitable for "cooking" around "Grain Rain", because the stoves in the past were all made of earth, and it was not easy to dry in rainy season, so many taboos followed the seasonal law, which was credible and correct at that time.

2. Unbelievable

But today, why do we say that the credibility of the Gregorian calendar is not so high? This is because with the development of science and technology, we have many new things and more advanced scientific concepts. Take the "burial" and "cooking" mentioned above, we are all cremated now, and there is no problem of being eaten by insects. Now we are not earthen stoves, and we have more advanced appliances.

Therefore, a lot of lunar calendar information that was suitable for the environment at that time is not so suitable today. We now know more scientific knowledge, unlike the customs in the past, such as "you can't get married in the first month, you can't order books in the twelfth month", and so on. We don't have to avoid it now, because getting married in winter has no bad influence.

Accurately speaking, today's Gregorian taboo is not unbelievable, but we don't need to believe so much. It can be used as a reference, but we don't have to care too much. Otherwise, the Gregorian calendar says today is not suitable for going out, so we really can't go out to school or work? This is of course unrealistic.
