How to understand perpetual calendar

The understanding of the calendar: date, five elements, nine planets, stars, gossip, star-making, taboo, good or bad luck, good or bad position.

1 date

Dates include solar calendar, lunar calendar, week, branches and so on. Date is the most basic part of the Gregorian calendar, but there is no difference between good and bad. It is also of little significance for choosing a day and studying.

2. Five elements

The five elements mentioned in the Old Yellow Calendar refer to Yin Na, that is, Jiazi and Ugly Jin are in the sea and Xu Bingding are in the sea. The five elements of the solar calendar play a certain role in choosing a day among the people, such as not breaking ground on the day of the five elements of the earth, not digging wells on the day of the five elements of the water and so on. However, it only plays a reference role in the study of choosing a day and the study of Book of Changes.

3. Nine planets

The nine planets mentioned in the Gregorian calendar refer to nine stars such as Demon Star, Confused Star, Hedo, Shagong, Zhixing, Bumu, Ji Jiao, Renzhuan and Lizao. The nine planets play a very important role in choosing the date. It is not only one of the criteria to distinguish auspicious days and black bear days, but also one of the important gods to choose dates. Of the nine planets, Shagong, Zhixing and Renren turn three stars into good luck, and the rest are evil, so it is necessary to avoid choosing a day.

4. Stars

The stars are also called twenty-eight stars, which is one of the important basis for choosing a day. There are 28 stars, seven in a group, a total of four groups, namely: Oriental Qinglong; Southern suzaku; White tiger in the west; Northern Xuanwu.

There is no absolute good or bad luck for a star, and the meaning of good or bad luck varies according to the project of choosing a day. For example, Kikuk Day is not suitable for marriage, but if you want to choose the burial day, Kikuk Day is a good day.

Step 5 gossip

The gossip in the Yellow Calendar is actually a variation of the sixty-four hexagrams. Because there are sixty-four hexagrams, but there are only sixty Jiazi, it is a variant. The gossip in the yellow calendar is used to predict the fortune of a day, not to choose a day.

Step 6 make a star

Also known as the twelfth floor division, it is one of the important basis for choosing a day.

Twelve points of construction, namely, construction, division, fullness, equality, determination, implementation, breaking, danger, success, customs clearance, opening and closing.

There is a song about the elimination of good and bad luck in the Twelve Construction Projects: "It is the ecliptic to save the day, and it is the underworld to build a full and flat income. It is ok, but it is not quite broken."

It means: four days of construction, fullness, peace and harvest are the days of the underworld, and auspicious things cannot be used; These four days are auspicious days for happy events; There are general things these two days, nothing serious; Off the next day, happy events must not be used.

7, should be avoided
