In China culture, we always look at the Gregorian calendar when choosing a date. Is there any special basis for this?

Choosing a date is a unique custom of China people, which is also the reason why China civilization has lasted for so long.

In ancient times, choosing a date was the right of only kings. After all, it is necessary to observe the sky and make complex calculations. When it comes to state affairs, time is decided by great Buddhists. Just like Ramadan in Islam, it's not just any day, but it can't be determined until the big imam watches the moon.

The most fundamental change is that when Zhou Pingwang moved eastward to Luoyang in the Zhou Dynasty, a large number of officials lost their jobs. At that time, the official's job was to offer sacrifices. Only when the people lived in exile did this knowledge spread to the people, and there was a folk custom of choosing the right time for weddings and funerals. More popularly, in the Tang dynasty, the calendar promulgated by the royal family directly appeared the function of our ordinary yellow calendar now. This is due to the continuous observation and recording of astronomical calendars by the ancients for thousands of years, which finally made the research results folk.

It has been a custom in China for thousands of years that the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the cool, so that it has become a part of our life to choose a good day to avoid misfortune, because it is human nature's demand to yearn for good luck.

Then, you will find that whether we China people get married, build houses and add tiles, and dig wells and pits; Or open a shop, go to the mountains and the sea, and go back to China, we must choose a good day to arrange some important activities for good luck. Considering that marriage is an important thing in life, it is natural to choose a good day.

In fact, in today's highly developed Internet, almanac is no longer just a small notebook in memory. In the internet age, perpetual calendar software can integrate a large amount of information and extract it every day, which is far richer than the old calendar. Daily matters needing attention, through the research and integration of countless experts, have formed a fairly perfect system, and the mode of communication is often combined with modern digital media technology to spread traditional culture in a way that modern people like, which is also the inheritance and development of China's traditional culture.
