How to resist the darkness in life

65438+ February. The fate with 20 17 will be exhausted; And the new 20 18 is waiting for us not far ahead.

What about 20 18? No one can give a clear answer to such a question. At the end of the year and the New Year, of course, I will make some wishes and send many blessings as usual-this is really human nature. But we also know in our hearts that the New Year is not necessarily happy, lucky and safe. Like every year, we still have to face ugliness, darkness, injustice and bad luck that may not come.

Efforts and changes are worth doing. But beyond that, for every individual, it is a modest but precious way of resistance to live a good life seriously, attentively and with conscience.

Ok, today's push is actually very simple-Book Review Jun has compiled a calendar of 20 18 for you. Because there are too many, you may be deceived, but just like life itself, no matter how many choices you seem to have, you will eventually be able to accompany you through the years, which is unnecessary and impossible.

Time seems to be the most mysterious existence in the world. Calendars allow time to be understood and recorded, while pages on calendars make illusory time visible. When you tear it off your hand, you will feel the real passage of time, which is a sense of ritual.

My first impression of the calendar is ordinary and simple. Ordinary paper and simple numbers have rich and practical contents beyond the date-fortune telling, recipes, health knowledge, famous sayings and aphorisms, cultural common sense and so on. And the form is simple and direct.

A glimpse of the old calendar, the picture comes from the internet.

In recent years, as a cultural product, the forms of calendars have become more and more colorful. It is the general trend to use the content and binding of a book or even a hardcover book as a calendar. Many calendars are edited and published by publishing houses and publishing companies in the form of books, so they are called "calendar books". The most popular ones are the Forbidden City calendar, one-way calendar and species calendar.

The elegant form and gorgeous decoration of the calendar book give the traditional function a brand-new experience, but it is also suspected of false beauty and over-marketing. Under the gorgeous binding, the content itself may become a form or a gimmick. It is also common for calendars bought home or given as gifts to be left in the corner to collect dust.

Every kind of calendar tries to promise people a beautiful and fulfilling life, but in fact, of course not. However, the calendar is only an object after all, and the main body of life is people themselves. Therefore, we should get rid of the fog of form and marketing, but a well-designed calendar that conforms to our own nature and interests is indeed a good companion for life in the new year.

Ok, let's see what beautiful calendars we can choose from on 20 18.

The new look of the old yellow calendar

Some calendars, at first glance, follow the traditional "old yellow calendar" style of one page a day and tearing pages. However, the content contained in it is quite different.

One-way calendar (20 18)

Version: One-way Street Beijing United Publishing Company

When reading the old almanac, I always want to look at the taboos of the day to decide the itinerary of the day. However, seeing such a suitable thing to do, this day will be filled with emotion.

This year's calendar of One-way Street has continued its previous style, and it has taken a cool and cool literary high cold wind. Formally, the structure of the old almanac is refined, but it is much more refined. Calendar * * * is divided into three colors: morning light, cast black and black gold, all of which are cold and solemn.

National calendar, self-cultivation and moral cultivation (20 18)

Version: National Library Press

At first glance, the calendar published by the National Map is similar to the old calendar, and it is also a combination of basic information such as dates, solar terms, festivals and aphorisms. However, in form, it is much more beautiful. The theme of last year's national calendar was "Herbal Nourishing Year", which is a traditional theme of health preservation. This year, it was changed to "self-cultivation", which can be regarded as the same strain.

The aphorisms in the calendar are all selected from the so-called "three wonders of life": Cai Gentan and You Ji are around the small window and talking at night. The sentences are clear and easy to understand, and you can understand the ancient philosophy of life by browsing. As for whether you like it or not, it's up to you, of course.

Family Calendar (20 18)

Produced by: polite

In the past two years, the family calendar has also accumulated a lot of audiences, and its lively and festive style seems to complement the traditional New Year in China. And its own slogan is: the ritual sense of the old yellow calendar. The style of the pictures inside is also very Chinese, and there are two forms to choose from: flipping and tearing. Moreover, as an old almanac of the new era, it also keeps up with the fashion trend, and is equipped with an exclusive APP…… ...............................................................................................................................................

Read a poem every day.

Although it is an "almanac", it is different from books after all, and it should be practical, and the accompanying reading experience is mostly fragmented. This coincides with the small space and independence of poetry. It can be seen that in the calendar market, calendars with poetry as the theme account for a large part. Reading a poem every day is also a sense of ritual.
