What does the meridian calendar mean?

Meridian calendar is one of the important parts of ancient medical culture in China. It is a time prediction system based on human meridians, according to the theory of yin-yang and five elements, combined with the sun, moon, stars, astronomical phenomena and other factors. Among them, the "yellow calendar" refers to a reference book that records time information such as day, month, star and astronomical phenomena on yellow paper. It occupies a very important position in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and is widely used in health preservation, treatment, agricultural production, marriage and other aspects, and is deeply trusted and loved by people.

All kinds of information in the Meridian Yearbook has profound medical significance, which can be used to predict the changes of human internal functions and the occurrence of pathological mechanisms, thus guiding daily health care and disease treatment. For example, according to the theory of five elements in meridian calendar, different five elements correspond to the five internal organs of human body. It is predicted that one day the five elements will be out of balance, which means that some organs will have problems, reminding people to adjust their diet and lifestyle in time to avoid diseases.

With the development of modern science and technology, the meridian almanac is gradually becoming digital and intelligent. For example, you can download some applications of meridian almanac on mobile phones and computers, predict daily taboos according to the user's date of birth, gender and lunar calendar, and provide corresponding health advice and life guidance. This provides a convenient and quick way for people to spread and apply Chinese medicine culture more widely.
