Yellow calendar terminology

Interpretation of Gregorian calendar by various terms in the Yellow Calendar: it is the current international calendar, also called Gregorian calendar, and in China it is also called national calendar or new calendar. It is related to the earth's orbit around the sun, which is the solar calendar. Gregorian calendar starts from 65438+ 10 month 1 Example: 2013 65438+1Friday, October 4th. (The last two examples are based on this date, and Taiwan Province Province also uses the year of the Republic of China, that is, 102. Lunar calendar: according to the standard, it should be called the summer calendar, also called the Han calendar, which is calculated according to the periodic change of the moon phase and the law of the earth's orbit around the sun (that is, the change of seasons throughout the year). This is a kind of lunar calendar. The lunar calendar begins on the first day of the first month. Example: Renchennian 1 1 23rd of the month. Some perpetual calendars are marked as "Lunar Year" to avoid confusion with official calendars. Regarding the chronology, it must be explained here that the lunar calendar can be traced back to the constitutional calendar of the Qing Dynasty, when the imperial chronology was adopted. In the late Qing Dynasty, the Chinese League led by Sun Yat-sen adopted the Yellow Emperor Calendar. It was not until the success of the Revolution of 1911 that representatives suggested that the calendar year of the Yellow Emperor was not conducive to the integration with the international calendar, so they decided to use the western calendar (solar calendar). The use of the Yellow Emperor era ended here. There is only one option left in the summer calendar, which has been used to this day. For a long time, many experts and scholars have put forward suggestions to restore the calendar of the Yellow Emperor. The advantages are: firstly, it can avoid confusion with the official calendar; Secondly, it is more conducive to enhancing national cohesion; Third, it can record the calendar continuously and gradually like the year of A.D. ... trunk calendar: also known as solar calendar and Jiazi calendar, which marks the year, month, day and time with 60 groups of different trunk and branch calendars, basically improved in the Northern Song Dynasty. It is divided into twelve months by twenty-four solar terms, each month contains two solar terms, there is no leap month, and the old one is the tropic of Capricorn, which is a solar calendar. Beginning of spring is the first year of the official calendar. For example, in the year of Renchen, the month of Renzi and the day of Wu Geng. (Some almanac has no calendar year and calendar year, and calendar year and calendar year are derived from five tigers and five mice. ) Almanac and almanac have always been the most important parts of the yellow calendar, because the skill of choosing good or bad luck is only related to almanac and monthly calendar. In order to increase the accuracy of techniques and create astronomical phenomena, the selectors of later generations emphasized that the month in the paving rules is from the beginning of the solar term of the current month to the beginning of the solar term of the next month. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhang Yuxi said: When choosing a day, the solar terms of the month should be correct, and the gas should be daily calendar. This year is too old: this year is too old. Year-old Chong: This year is the year-old Chong in the zodiac. Chronology of trunk and branch: It is a part of the trunk and branch calendar, or in line with the lunar calendar, using heavenly stems and earthly branches's method. Such as Wu Jianian or Wu Jianian in the lunar calendar. Flying Star: The purple and white nine stars that entered China that year. Some will match a flying star map of Jiugong in the fleeting time. Twenty-four solar terms and solar term time: Twenty-four solar terms, namely beginning of spring, Rain, Creeping, Equinox, Qingming, Grain Rain, Long Summer, Xiaoman, Mang, Summer, Slight Summer, Great Summer, beginning of autumn, Early Summer, White Dew, Autumn Equinox, Cold Dew, Early Frost, beginning of winter, Light Snow, Heavy Snow, Winter, Slight Cold and Severe Cold, are all based on the ancients. Seventy-two issues: five days, 365 days a year (average year) is 73 issues. In order to correspond to the twenty-four solar terms, it is stipulated that three periods are one period (qi) and 72 periods a year. Each climate corresponds to a phenological phenomenon called "waiting". The "weather" of weather should include abiotic and biotic. The former includes "the water begins to dry up", "the east wind thaws", "the rainbow begins to see" and "the ground begins to freeze". The latter includes animals and plants, such as "the swan goose comes", "the tiger begins to make love", "Ping begins to live", "Bitter vegetable show" and "the peach blossom begins to bloom". The seventy-two changes originated very early and played a certain role in agricultural activities. Although some phenological descriptions are not so accurate and some are unscientific, they still have certain reference value for understanding the climate and its changes in ancient North China. Because the initial unit of phenology at that time was small and the actual climate and region were quite different, it was difficult to be widely used. Now that the phenology of the Yellow River basin has changed, the phenology of other areas is even more different. We must constantly develop phenology and formulate a new natural calendar, otherwise it is impossible to mechanically copy ancient books. Several dragons control water: according to the first day of the first month of each year (Chen is a dragon). For example, the fifth day of the first month is called "Five Dragons Governing Water", and the sixth day is called "Six Dragons Governing Water", and so on. It is said that the more dragons, the less rainfall, and the less dragons, the more rainfall. Since ancient times, there has been a proverb among the Han people that "it doesn't rain when there are many dragons".
