The Origin and Origin of Tongsheng

Tongsong belongs to the application of dharma, and in ancient times its role was equivalent to that of a calendar nowadays. The following is a brief introduction of Tongsheng.   The original name of Tongsheng was Tongshu, because "書" and "输" have the same sound, in order to avoid the taboo, so Tongshu was changed to Tongsheng, from then on, "Tonglong" became "Tongsheng", and when you listen to it, you will feel at ease with yourself!   Tongsheng, printed more than two hundred years ago during the Qianlong period, is a compilation of the rules of life of the people. It was used by farmers

to know the seasons for farming.   In the early Qing Dynasty, the "Tongshu" was compiled by the Qin Tian Supervisor, the contents of which were mainly the future year's festivals, eclipses, lunar eclipses, starry nights and the year, month and day of the stem and branch of the year, and so on.   The dates of the twenty-four solar terms and other information contained in the Tongsheng are the basis for farmers' activities such as sowing, plowing, and harvesting; if farmers did not have the information in this book, they would be at a loss as to what to do with their farming programs!   The year is divided into twelve "festivals" and twelve "qi". These twenty-four festivals are evenly distributed among the twelve months of the year, with one festival and one qi for each month. The dates of the twenty-four festivals vary from year to year, and some of the names are unfamiliar to the general public, but in the minds of the farmers, these festivals are very important to them!   In addition to these solar terms, some of the days are also marked with the names of "Thawing of the East Wind", "Beginning of the Stinging Insects", "Grasses and Trees", "Thundering of the Thunderbolt", "Emergence of the Earthworms", "Arrival of the Wheat in Autumn", "The Soil is Moist and Muggy", and "The Time of the Rain", etc. These are the natural patterns of the farming season and are conveniently displayed for the reference of the farmers. In addition, there is also a list of daily auspicious and inauspicious events for the general public to choose the day of the week, such as marriage, groundbreaking, school enrollment, burial, and other major life events.

The Yellow Calendar, or Huangli, is a calendar based on the Chinese lunar calendar, with many indications of the day's auspiciousness and inauspiciousness. The Yellow Calendar is said to have been created by Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi, so it is known as the Yellow Calendar, and is also commonly known as the "Book of the Tongshu". However, because the word "book" and the word "lose" are the same, it is also known as "Tongsheng" because of the taboo. The main contents of the Yellow Calendar are the date list of the 24 solar terms, the daily auspicious and inauspicious dates, and the fortunes of the Chinese zodiac. During the Qing Dynasty, the Yellow Calendar was compiled by the Imperial Court's Chintian Supervisor.
