Is there any reason for the taboo in the perpetual calendar?

Taboos in the perpetual calendar have certain basis and reasons. It can be used as a reference, but it is not necessary to follow the guidance of the perpetual calendar. Even if the calendar says it is not suitable for marriage, in fact, according to the analysis of specific circumstances, it is possible to get married normally most of the time without obstacles.

Taboos in the perpetual calendar are credible because the regular 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.
