Look at the lunar calendar with the most accurate date nowadays, people often look at the lunar calendar when they get married to see if the date they choose is auspicious and suitable for marriage. There are still many new couples who go back to fortune telling and calculate the date of marriage. So is there any scientific basis for all this? Or just write it casually?

If you just look through old almanac books at home, observe the contents of "Yi" and "taboo", which are closely related to people's lives, such as traveling, getting married, moving, burial and so on. So are these contents really reliable? Or is it just made up by the calendar manufacturer?

The Gregorian calendar, also known as the old Gregorian calendar and the imperial calendar, was born on the basis of the China lunar calendar. It is a perpetual calendar with good luck and bad luck every day. According to legend, the yellow calendar was created by Xuanyuan Huangdi, so it is called the yellow calendar. According to Cihai, the Huangli calendar refers to the calendar implemented during the period of the Yellow Emperor. The main content of the Gregorian calendar is the 24 solar terms, as well as daily taboos, branches, values, stars, moon phases, good or bad luck and so on. It includes not only astronomy and meteorology, seasons and seasons, but also some taboos that need to be observed in daily life. Its content guides the farming opportunities of working farmers in China, so it is also called farmers' calendar.

First, should the old almanac be believed every day?

These contents are closely related to agricultural life. In the process of agricultural production, the people of China sum up 24 solar terms every year according to the laws of agricultural production. Before and after these solar terms, there are some things that conform to or go against the natural development. For example, it is not suitable for "burial" before and after "fright", because insects begin to breed and move in this season, and they will be eaten by insects within a few days after burial. Before and after "Grain Rain", it was not suitable for "cooking stoves" because in the past, stoves were made of clay. Therefore, many taboos follow the seasonal law.

Unbelievable

But today, why do we say that the credibility of old almanac is not so high? This is because with the development of science and technology, we are faced with many new things and more advanced scientific concepts. Take the "burial" and "cooking" mentioned before, we are all cremated now, and there is no problem of being eaten by bugs. Now we are not earthen stoves, and we have more advanced appliances.

Therefore, a lot of information about the Gregorian calendar was not so suitable for today at that time, and now we know more scientific knowledge, unlike people who had limited knowledge of natural science in the past, such as "you can't get married in the first month, you can't publish books in the twelfth month" and so on. These were all followed in the past, so now you don't have to avoid it, because getting married in winter actually has no bad influence.

Accurately speaking, it is not impossible to believe the taboo of the Gregorian calendar today, but we don't need to believe it so much. It can be used as a reference, but we don't have to care too much. Otherwise, the Gregorian calendar says it's not appropriate to go out today, so we really won't go out to school or work? This is of course unrealistic.

Most of the "yi" and "taboo" in the calendars of some unscrupulous merchants were scattered from the previous year and then compiled back. This is not a horizontal compilation, or some relatively regular calendars are well-founded and horizontal. So what is the basis? Mainly based on some math books after Ming and Qing Dynasties. Jade Sagger, Sheng Yuan Zong Lu and Yongji Shu Tong are the most important books. Of course, there are other books, such as A Thousand Cities and Shu Tong, Ji Xiang.

Therefore, if you choose an auspicious day to get married, you can know or not from the contents of the Gregorian calendar, because many times this statement has no practical basis, especially in marriage. For example, don't foreigners get married without a solar calendar? Is it necessary to divorce if the marriage is not going well? Not exactly. Only now that many parents' generation have accepted China's traditional thought, the older generation still relies heavily on the Gregorian calendar. Perhaps young people nowadays pay less and less attention to this point. what do you think? How many people pay more attention to the old almanac? Welcome to leave a message

The above is related to the most accurate viewing date in the old almanac, and it is about the sharing of almanac. I hope this will help everyone after reading "Wanli Jiri Inquiry"!
