Foreigners' comments on the old almanac

The most accurate date to look at the lunar calendar nowadays people often look at the lunar calendar when they get married to see if the date they choose is auspicious and suitable for marriage. There are still many new people who go back to fortune telling to calculate the date of marriage. So are these all based on science? Or just write it casually?

If we just look through the old calendar books at home and observe the contents of "Yi" and "taboo", they are closely related to people's lives, such as traveling, getting married, moving, funeral and so on. So are these contents really reliable? Or is it just made up by calendar manufacturers?

The Gregorian calendar, also known as the old Gregorian calendar and the imperial calendar, was born on the basis of the China lunar calendar, and it is a perpetual calendar with good and bad luck every day. According to legend, the yellow calendar was created by Xuanyuan Huangdi, so it is called the yellow calendar. According to Cihai, the Huangli calendar refers to the calendar implemented during the period of the Yellow Emperor. The main content of the Gregorian calendar is the 24 solar terms, as well as daily taboos, branches, values, stars, moon phases, good or bad luck and so on. It includes not only astronomy, meteorology, seasons and seasons, but also some taboos to be observed in daily life. Its content guides the farming opportunity of working farmers in China, so it is also called farmer calendar.

First, should I believe in the old almanac every day?

1, credible

These contents are closely related to agricultural life. In the process of agricultural production, the people of China sum up 24 solar terms every year according to the laws of agricultural production. Before and after these solar terms, there are some things that conform to or go against the natural development. For example, it is not suitable for "burial" before and after "fright", because insects begin to breed and move in this season, and are eaten by insects within a few days after burial. Before and after "Grain Rain", it was not suitable for "cooking stoves" because in the past, stoves were all made of earth. So many taboos follow the seasonal law.

2. Unbelievable

But today, why is the credibility of old almanac not so high? This is because with the development of science and technology, we are faced with many new things and more advanced scientific concepts. Take the "burial" and "cooking" mentioned before, 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 solar calendar information suitable for the environment at that time is not so suitable today, and we now know more scientific knowledge, unlike people who had limited knowledge of natural science in the past, such as "you can't get married in the first month and you can't book in the twelfth month", and so on. There is no need to be taboo now, because getting married in winter actually 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.

Most of the "yi" and "taboo" in the calendars of some unscrupulous merchants were scattered from the previous year and compiled back. This is not a horizontal compilation, but there are still some regular calendars, which are well-founded and level. So what is the basis? Mainly based on some math books after Ming and Qing Dynasties. Jade Sagger, Sheng Yuan Zong Lu and Yongji Shu Tong are the most important books, and of course there are others, such as A Thousand Cities and Shu Tong, Ji Xiang.

Therefore, if you choose an auspicious day to get married, you can learn from the Gregorian calendar or not, because many times this statement has no practical basis, especially in marriage. For example, don't foreigners get married without the Gregorian calendar? Is it necessary to divorce if the marriage is not smooth? Not exactly. Only now that many parents' generation have accepted China's traditional thinking, the older generation still relies heavily on the Gregorian calendar. Maybe young people nowadays pay less and less attention to this. what do you think? How many people pay more attention to the old almanac? Welcome to leave a message

The above is about the most accurate view of the days in the old almanac, and it is about the sharing of almanac. I hope this will be helpful to everyone after reading the Wanli auspicious day query!
