What are good days and bad days?

1February, construction, enrichment, peace, destruction and closure are the days of the underworld, and division, determination, implementation, danger, success and opening up are the days of the ecliptic. That is, auspicious days are ecliptic days, and evil days are underworld days.

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 are two main methods to calculate the ecliptic and the underworld. One is twelve places supporting twelve gods, and the other is twelve values. ?

Six ancient calendars used in China before the Western Han Dynasty. Namely Huangdi calendar, Zhuan Xu calendar, Xia calendar, Yin calendar, Zhou calendar and Lv calendar. Legend has it that the calendar created by the Yellow Emperor is the oldest. Lu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote "China's Peace Seal" and "Song Dengfeng": "Guo Yan lost his treasure, and the Huangli began to understand." .

Some people think that "Yellow Calendar" is the abbreviation of "Yellow Emperor Calendar".

Later, the yellow calendar was often mixed with many contents promoting auspiciousness and taboos, and the superstitious color was very strong, so the yellow calendar became the name of the old calendar book. Emperors of past dynasties attached great importance to calendars.

At the beginning of the 9th century, the Tang Dynasty ordered. Almanac must be approved by the emperor himself before it can be promulgated, and it is stipulated that only official seals are allowed, and private seals are not allowed. Since then, the almanac has become the "imperial calendar".

The calendar recorded in the Imperial Calendar is generally limited to one year, and the calendar will be changed in the second year. If you pick up the imperial calendar and check it, it must be wrong. Therefore, the "old imperial calendar" has the meaning of being conservative and unchanging.
