What does the Gregorian calendar mean?

The yellow calendar, or imperial calendar, is based on the lunar calendar in China, and many calendars indicate the good or bad luck of this day.

According to legend, the yellow calendar was created by Xuanyuan Huangdi, so it is called the yellow calendar. It came into being on the basis of the China lunar calendar, and is mainly used to guide farmers' farming season, so it is also called "lunar calendar". Its main contents are the schedule of the 24 solar terms, the good and bad luck of each day, the luck of the zodiac and so on.

The role of the yellow calendar

The main contents of the Gregorian calendar are the schedule of the twenty-four solar terms, the good and bad luck of each day, the luck of the zodiac and so on. That is, people in ancient China recorded their daily likes and dislikes on the calendar as a guide to action. For example, if it is not appropriate to break ground today, you can move tomorrow and start a new stove the day after tomorrow.

The ancient calendar of China also included the movements of the sun, the moon and the five stars and the calculation of their positions. The determination of stars and time is weak and denier; The forecast of solar eclipse and lunar eclipse is used to choose auspicious days. In the Gregorian calendar, White Tiger, Heavenly Punishment, Suzaku, Tianlong, Xuanwu and Gouchen are the evil days of the six realms; In the zodiac, Qinglong, Tiande, Yutang, Siming, Tang Ming and Jingui are auspicious days of the six zodiac signs.

In the yellow calendar, except for the day, dangerous day, fixed day, holding day, becoming day and opening day are auspicious; In the Gregorian calendar, there are fierce days, full days, weekdays, broken days, closed days and closed days. To some extent, China's "Lao Huang Li" ancient calendar is a work of compiling astronomical almanac. It includes many important contents of ancient astronomy in China and is the crystallization of ancient scientific observation and research.
