What's the difference between a perpetual calendar and a yellow calendar?

The solar calendar and the lunar calendar are the oldest solar calendars in ancient legends in China. In order to commemorate the achievements of calendar compilers for thousands of years, this kind of calendar was named "perpetual calendar". The perpetual calendar in use now is actually a kind of calendar, which records the dates of a specific solar calendar or lunar calendar within a certain time range (such as 100 or longer), which is convenient for people in need to query and use, and has no direct connection with the original calendar.

origin

Tracing back to the origin of the perpetual calendar, the story starts from the ancient Shang Dynasty ... a famous woodcutter called it the perpetual calendar. One day, he went up the mountain to cut wood. After cutting, he sat down under the tree to have a rest. He stared at the shadows of the trees and thought about how to set the festival accurately. Unconsciously, it took him more than half an hour to find that the shadow on the ground had moved quietly. I had a brainwave for ten thousand years, why not use the length of the sun shadow to calculate the time? After returning to China, I designed a perpetual sundial instrument. However, on rainy days, the sundial instrument lost its usefulness again. One day, Wan Nian drank water by the spring and saw the water dripping rhythmically on the cliff. The regular drip inspired him. After returning home, Wannian began to make a five-story leaky pot and used the method of water leakage to time it. In this way, whether it is sunny or rainy, we can grasp the time correctly. With the timing tool, Wannian observed the weather and seasonal changes more attentively. After a long induction, he found that the length of the weather will repeat every 360 days. As long as you know the laws of the sun and the moon, you don't have to worry about the inaccuracy of festivals. Ten thousand years ago, I took my homemade sundial instrument and leaky kettle to see the son of heaven Zuyi, which showed that festivals were not allowed to have nothing to do with gods. Zu Yi thought Wan Nian's words were very reasonable, so he left Wan Nian, built a sundial table and a clepsydra pavilion in front of the Temple of Heaven, and sent twelve boys to Wan Nian to deliver them. Since then, you can concentrate on studying the seasons in ten thousand years. After a while, Zuyi sent Aheng to study the perpetual calendar. Wannian took out the preliminary results of his own calculation and said: the sunrise and sunset are 360, and it starts again. Vegetation is divided into four seasons, and there are twelve circles in a year. Ah Heng was very upset after hearing this. He was worried that making an accurate calendar would be reused by the emperor, which would directly threaten his position. So Ah Heng bought an assassin with a large sum of money and prepared to assassinate him for ten thousand years. I have no choice but to study the four seasons wholeheartedly for ten thousand years, and almost never leave the Sun Moon Pavilion where I live. The assassin had to roll up an arrow in the dead of night and never shoot it for ten thousand years. Only heard a whoosh, an arrow hit Wan Nian's arm, and Wan Nian fell to the ground. The boys shouted at the assassin, and the guards caught the assassin in time and handed him over to the son of heaven. When Zu Yi discovered that this was Aheng's trick, he ordered Aheng to be locked up and personally visited Riyuege for ten thousand years. Ten thousand years ago, I reported my latest research results to Zuyi: Now Shen Xing has caught up with hundreds of silkworms, astrology has been restored, children have sex at night, the old year has ended and spring has begun again. I hope the son of heaven can designate a festival! Zu Ti said: Spring is a year, so let's call it Spring Festival. At that time, Zu Yi saw Wan Nian overworked day and night and was injured by an arrow. He couldn't bear it, so he invited him to the palace to recuperate. Wannian replied: "Thank you for your kindness, but the current solar calendar is still a grass calendar, which is not accurate enough. We should jump in at the end of the year. Otherwise, over time, it will cause disorder of festivals. In order to live up to expectations, I must stay and continue to set the solar calendar. " After dozens of winters and summers, the 10,000-year-old solar calendar has finally been completed. When he dedicated the solar calendar to Zu Yi, he was already a white-haired old man. Deeply moved, Zu Ti named the solar calendar as the perpetual calendar and the perpetual calendar as the birthday of the sun, the moon and the moon. This is the origin of the name perpetual calendar.

Choose a day and avoid it.

In the Gregorian calendar, what most people watch every day should be what they should and should not do. Numerologists and schedulers also record it in this column, plus the reference of daily prosperity and adversity to determine the date of others. When readers know, they won't have to go to the scheduler in the future. But if it involves personal eight-character projects, you still have to find someone to line up. The modern internet is very popular in choosing a date. Many people search for perpetual calendars in Baidu, or search for fortune tellers online to choose dates. The blog traffic of some fortune tellers is amazing, and the blog traffic of Wang of University of Science and Technology Beijing is second only to Xu. If we check the auspicious day ourselves instead of looking for a fortune teller, we can turn to the perpetual calendar to check the taboos of that day. For example:

Appropriate: making beds, making money, planting nets, sweeping houses, offering sacrifices, bathing, cutting clothes and getting into hands and feet.

Avoid: opening the market for haircuts, grazing, raising livestock, making livestock, logging, burying beams, breaking ground and opening graves.

We can get a general idea from the text. If we want to "open the market", we won't choose one day, but we can choose three days. The season is in the "meridian sea", that is, from 1 1 am to 1 am, from 1 1 pm to 7: 00 pm and from 9: 00 pm to1pm. In terms of schedule, it is best to choose between 1 1: 00 and 1: 00 in the evening. In addition, pay attention to the "rushing rabbits and exorcising evil spirits" that day, and people engaged in rabbit work should avoid going to the East. By combining these projects, you can become a day planner.
