What does the concept of the yellow calendar mean?

Gregorian calendar is one of the most common folk calendars in China, which is widely used in agriculture, sacrifice, marriage and childbirth. Lunar calendar day refers to the first menstruation of women in China, which is also called "crown day". In ancient times, women were regarded as adults at the age of twelve, so thirteen became the time for women to worship their ancestors. The official gift of the Yellow Calendar is an important festival for women, which means that women enter adulthood and become sensible people.

In the traditional culture of China, there are different ways to celebrate Huangli Crown. Generally speaking, women will dress up in costumes, put on exquisite hair, and spend this special day with relatives and friends. At the same time, red lanterns and colorful flags will be hung at home to celebrate women's official declaration of adulthood. In addition, in order to eliminate disasters, it is a tradition to cut girls' hair on coronation day.

With the development and progress of society, the Huangliguan in modern society may not be as solemn and profound as in ancient times, but it is still an important stage in the growth of girls in China. In modern times, girls can choose to do what they like, or celebrate with family and friends on the day of the crown of the yellow calendar. Although the way of celebration has changed, we still need to inherit and carry forward the spirit of respecting and cherishing life contained in the Yellow Calendar Festival.
