China traditional calendar

Its content guides the opportunity for working farmers to farm in China, so it is also called the peasant calendar, and the Yellow Calendar is also commonly known as the "general book". However, in Cantonese, because the word "Shu" in Tong Shu is homophone with the word "lose", it is also called "Tong Sheng" because of taboo. China's traditional calendar is based on heavenly stems and earthly branches's arrangement, combination and circulation, which means circulation and reappearance.

It is this "recurrence" that makes it meaningful to choose a date to avoid it. The fundamental basis for the ancients to make calendars and determine auspicious days is the sun, the moon and the stars. Among them, the stars are the most critical factor in determining the date, and the Gregorian calendar basically does not consider these, so there is no so-called taboo. China's traditional selection technology was quite mature as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties.
