Why is the yellow calendar different?

There is no uniform standard for the almanac, which is not arranged in the same country, but arranged independently, resulting in slightly different contents of the almanac published in each place.

The yellow calendar contains not only astronomical weather and seasons, but also some taboos that people should abide by in their daily lives. Its contents guide the farming opportunities of working farmers in China, so it is also called farmers' calendar. The Yellow Calendar was originally called the Yellow Calendar because it was calculated and published by Qin Tian Jian and promulgated by the emperor. After the Revolution of 1911, the imperial system was overthrown, and the "imperial calendar" was homophonic and rewritten as "yellow calendar".

The meaning of the yellow calendar

The Old Imperial Calendar covers almost a lot of ancient humanistic and historical information related to people's consciousness and behavior, living habits and production methods at that time. We can interpret the regional cultural characteristics of the times through the poems, phenology, allusions and proverbs in the Old Imperial Calendar, and at the same time, we can appreciate the engraving style, calligraphy landscape, life scenes and paper and ink characteristics with ancient charm.

As a traditional and ancient cultural carrier, the old imperial calendar deserves collectors' attention and research. Although its original function is only to introduce the zodiac, the 24 solar terms and related knowledge of farming and life. However, with the development of the times, the old imperial calendars in different times have different characteristics of the times and have certain historical value, so they have become people's favorite collections.
