Fifteen years ago, the old yellow calendar

In 2022, colleagues talked about the past, and people often said, which year is this old calendar? You're still looking through the old almanac! The old almanac here refers to the past. There are also outdated systems or regulations, or some old methods or. It is also used to describe those old and outdated ideologies.

Some people, before going out to do business, should look through the almanac to see if good or bad luck should be avoided, and then stop. The yellow calendar here is similar to the current calendar. It shows many sets of calendars, such as solar calendar, lunar calendar and official calendar, and adds a lot of rules and contents related to seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, which is convenient for people to choose auspicious days such as marriage, breaking ground, tourism and opening business. Some people say it's science, others say it is. But it affects our lives all the time.

So how did the' Old Yellow Calendar' come from?

The Gregorian calendar has a history of several thousand years in China. According to legend, it was created by Xuanyuan Huangdi, so it was called "Yellow Calendar". It was later promulgated by the emperor, so it was also called "imperial calendar". Gregorian calendar originated from astrology and lunar agriculture. In ancient times, agriculture depended on the weather for food. When it is sunny, it is a bumper harvest, and when it is against the weather, it is a poor harvest. People summed up the changes of the weather and found the laws from them, thus forming an almanac. I have done this job before. It was when I was in high school, and the school set up a meteorological group, in which I and two other students participated. Open the louver box of meteorological group regularly every day and record the temperature, wind direction, rain or shine, etc. And predict the future weather according to this, and make the latest weather forecast to the students. The Gregorian calendar arranges the year, month and day according to a certain calendar, and provides the date table of the 24 solar terms, as well as the good and bad luck of each day, the luck of the zodiac and so on. Also known as "calendar day", "constitutional book" and "general book", but because the book is homophonic, it is also called "general wins" because of taboo. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, because the year number of emperor Qianlong was, in order to avoid taboo, the old yellow calendar was renamed "Stone".

China is one of the first countries in the world to invent calendars. According to archaeological findings, there was a calendar as early as 4,000 years ago, and there was an almanac recorded by Oracle Bone Inscriptions more than 3,000 years ago. In the ninth year of Daiwa in Tang Wenzong and Liu Ang (AD 835), there were two calendars, the version and the imperial version. In order to prevent the almanac from being printed indiscriminately, Tang Wenzong ordered that the almanac must be approved by the emperor before it can be printed, so it became an authentic imperial calendar.

The calendar recorded in the imperial calendar is generally limited to one year, and it will be changed in the second year. Just like today's calendars, they are changed every year. Therefore, the almanac of the next year will be printed at the end of each year. If we compare the current date with the previous imperial calendar, it will definitely be inappropriate.

Zhou Yiliang, a famous scholar, first proposed that Lao Huang Li is an ancient book with an accurate year, which can't be reprinted at will, and it doesn't need to be reprinted afterwards. It is a mark to identify ancient books and dates.

The old imperial calendar in the special era also provided a warning to future generations. For example, the constitution of the thirty-fifth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty. Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty reigned for 34 years, and there was no "Guangxu 35 years" at all. The so-called "thirty-five years of Guangxu" should be Xuantong Yuannian (1909). Because the Imperial Calendar had to be printed in advance at the end of the year before last, the printing department could not predict when the emperor would change, so the fallacy of "thirty-five years of Guangxu" appeared, so that when the Imperial Calendar was published, Athena Chu's "Xuantongyuan Year" was stamped on the cover to be revised. 19 12 was carved by the Qing royal family with the constitution book of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty for four years. 19 1 1, 10 After the Wuchang outbreak, the Qing emperor abdicated on December 25th of Xuantong 3rd year (19 12, 12 February), so there was no Xuantong 4th in history. Yuan Shikai, who had fulfilled the dream of an emperor for 80 years, also carved the almanac of the first year of Hong Xian (19 15). These old almanac books have become the evidence of dynasty change, which is not only the memory of an era, but also the "heavy weapon" pursued by the frontier.

Today, old calendar books are still favored by people. Many people still have the habit of watching likes and dislikes when traveling. In case of weddings, funerals and weddings, you should choose your luck and hope to hasten the disaster. This was also left by the ancestors of the Yellow Emperor.

What about you? Are the old almanac still turning over?
