Correlation of farmers' calendars

The Farmer's Calendar is a reference book for life in China's traditional society. It is a legacy of China's ancient ancestors in their daily life. After thousands of years of writing and adding various contents, the farmer calendar we see today has been completed. In Taiwan Province Province, it is mainly distributed and provided by township farmers' associations. The cover is mostly a three-star image of Fu Lushou with a yellow background, and the back is a diagram of food poisoning. It is called Gregorian calendar in Chinese mainland.

In ancient agricultural economy, farmers were used to sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn. Originally, the lunar calendar should better reflect the agricultural cycle, but many ancient calendars were based on the moon. One guess is that the moon is particularly easy to observe in the dark, and the profit and loss of the moon are clear at a glance. Only when astronomical technology is mature can they observe the role of the sun in the calendar.

The farmer's calendar is very important to farmers, and it is owned by every family in an agricultural society. Most of the content is related to farming. In addition to the solar calendar, lunar calendar and seasonal solar terms arranged in the order of year, month and month, there are separate columns to record auspicious occasions, predictions, festivals and ceremonies every day. Therefore, it can not only be regarded as an annual calendar and a monthly calendar, but also be used for weddings, funerals and sacrifices.
