Extended data

The almanac, also known as the imperial calendar, is a code of conduct followed by ancient emperors, including not only astronomy, meteorology, seasonal seasons, but also some taboos that people should abide by in their daily lives.

At the beginning of its formation, only the emperor's family could use it, so it was called "imperial calendar". After the Revolution of 1911, the imperial system was overthrown and the "imperial calendar" was rewritten as the "yellow calendar".

There is also a solar calendar in the yellow calendar. Gregorian calendar is a seasonal pamphlet used by ordinary people in rural areas of China for many years (until the early liberation), including lunar calendar, solar calendar (originally not available), climate, sowing season and divination (good or bad age and auspicious days), which is also very popular in modern times.

Old and new coexist. As an ancient China person, although the solar calendar has been widely used in the high-tech era, many people still have to refer to the traditional lunar calendar when planting crops or getting married. According to this calendar, China people still welcome every major traditional festival (Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival) no matter where they are.
