Brief introduction of tong sheng

Originally known as "Shu Tong", Cantonese people think that "Shu" and "Lose" are homonyms, but they take the opposite meaning and call it "Tong Sheng".

At present, most of Tong Sheng's publications come from Hong Kong, including daily Gregorian calendar, summer calendar dates, official expenditures, solar terms, taboos, festivals (mostly traditional festivals, some of which are even unheard of), and sometimes solar and lunar eclipses. In addition, many children also introduced various fortune-telling methods, including old enlightenment textbooks such as Sanzi Jing, Zengguang Xianwen and Ganzi Wen, and introduced the basic knowledge of astronomical calendar-of course, it is impossible to be so rigorous that there is no telegraph code. In addition, Tong Sheng published in Hong Kong will also have "English-Chinese contrast"-common English words marked with Chinese homonyms. As many cover characters of Tong Sheng said, "Everything".

To put it simply, Tong Sheng can be regarded as an ancient concise astronomical almanac plus enlightenment reading.

At the latest in the Qin Dynasty, Tongsheng existed in China as a book to guide people's lives. Since the Song Dynasty, there have been many techniques of "avoiding evil spirits" among children. Taiding has a five-year period (1328), and there are more than three million official almanac books. The content of Shushu teaching for children is often criticized as superstition. The Tong Sheng issued by the Christian Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has removed all taboos and only marked solar terms and Sundays; Tong Sheng, published in Xuantong period of Qing Dynasty, also banned the publication of taboo, rush, orientation, fleeting time and traditional times. Local fortune tellers can hang up the hall number and publish it separately, or they can sell the copyright as a gift by public or private institutions. For thousands of years, Tong Sheng has been the best-selling book among the people in China.

The main content of "tong sheng" is the date table of the 24 solar terms, the good and bad luck of every day, and the luck of the zodiac.

In Tong Sheng, there is a column with the largest number of words, so it is appropriate to write about daily life and carry out various activities. The following are terms for various activities.
