Classic Old Almanac

How are the auspicious days in the old almanac calculated? The term "auspicious days" appears very frequently in Chinese folk culture. In folk life activities, we often hear or see Weddings, funerals, sacrifices, marriages, business cooperation, groundbreaking for house construction, business trips, etc., all have to look for "auspicious days" to make things go smoothly, especially in today's period of resurgence of traditional Chinese culture, the meaning of this "auspicious day" Idioms are becoming popular again, and more and more people are practicing them. However, due to historical reasons, there has been a gap in traditional Chinese folk culture. As a result, many modern people do not understand the origin of "auspicious days of the zodiac", so there are blind pursuers. Consider it a classic: One-sided critics regard it as a scourge. Wait for social weirdness.

So, what exactly is an "auspicious day"? "Ecliptic" is originally a term in ancient astronomy. The ecliptic is the orbit of the earth around the sun. Its astronomical theory originated in ancient Babylon, and was later introduced to ancient Greece. It was introduced from Greece to India around the Gregorian calendar era, and was introduced to China with the translation of Buddhist scriptures during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. At that time, the Chinese astronomical calendar already had a well-developed zodiac system, so the introduction of the zodiac did not have much impact on traditional Chinese astronomy. It was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty that Christian missionaries introduced a large amount of Western astronomy to China, and the zodiac gradually became widely used.

It just so happens that the positions of the zodiac constellations are the same as the distribution of the 24 solar terms and 28 constellations in the Chinese solar calendar (Xia calendar, also known as the lunar calendar and lunar calendar among the people). It is because of this similarity that the zodiac has been integrated into Chinese astronomy. The formation of the Chinese astronomical astrology system itself was based on ancient astrology theory, so the concept of the zodiac was naturally used in astrology. It is not only used for astrology, but also plays a great role in farming, weather forecasting, etc.

In fact, the "auspicious days of the zodiac" are explained in terms of weather forecasts in a large sense. Just imagine, when activities such as weddings, funerals, business cooperation, house construction, business trips, etc. are going on, there will be wind, rain, thunder and lightning. , or even what will be the result of a natural disaster? I don't think anyone wants this to happen.

The word "auspicious day" does not have a superstitious meaning. It represents a vision of all beautiful things, which is understandable. As for the instructions in the "Old Emperor's Calendar" to find a good day for medical treatment, making clothes, and even bathing and haircuts, there is no need to follow them. Because that is the past tense, and there is indeed some dross in traditional culture. When we inherit and carry forward traditional culture, we should "take the essence and discard the dross. The past is used for the present, and the foreign is used for China." (Chairman Mao's Quotations ). The "auspicious days of the zodiac" are an example of combining Chinese and Western styles.

Therefore, "auspicious days" are not a bad thing under a certain ideology. For example: When will the Ninth National Games open? When will it close? The Guangdong Ninth National Games Preparatory Committee has put a lot of thought into this matter. After careful research and soliciting opinions from many parties, two "auspicious days" were finally selected; the opening ceremony was November 11, 2001, and the closing ceremony was November 25, 2001; What? It's too childish for the dignified National Games to be like this, right? Don't rush to a conclusion, please look at the following examples:

The opening ceremony of the Fifth National Games held in Shanghai was temporarily postponed for two days due to the landing of a typhoon.

Coincidentally, on November 20, 1987, at the opening ceremony of the Sixth National Games held in Guangzhou, it suddenly rained heavily in the celebration venue... The originally peaceful and warm atmosphere of the celebration might have It was more or less ruined by this ignorant heavy rain.

On the morning of February 20, 2000, the Hong Kong International Marathon started in low temperature and humid weather. The athletes all felt overwhelmed, and 10 athletes asked for help at the temporary aid station on the way. Five people were in a semi-conscious state after crossing the finish line, and one of them had symptoms of general convulsions. Think about it, it would undoubtedly be a big regret if the Ninth National Games were held in the rain.

In view of this, meteorological experts have provided scientific opinions on the selection of auspicious days for the Ninth National Games. After understanding, meteorological experts analyzed the meteorological changes in the 49 years from 1951 to 1999 to determine the specific time of the Ninth National Games.

People in ancient China emphasized that "the right time, the right location, and the right people" can achieve great things. It makes sense to explain it from the perspective of modern science. Among them, the term "timing" includes meteorological conditions to a large extent.

I also hope that some cultural scholars will be more knowledgeable and wise when facing the collision between traditional culture and modern civilization...gt; gt;

Excuse me, Master, what is missing from the five elements of the lunar calendar? Anyone who knows the almanac please help me check it out, thank you! ! ! Lacking fire, it is a dragon, it is fire, it is water and earth, it is in the north, and it defeats wood. This boy should be called Wei Haoling, as great as a mountain, as high as a mountain, swallowing up the world!

The Eight Characters of the Five Elements Theory from 3 to 5 a.m. on June 2, 2015: Jiawu, Dingchou, Wushen, and Yimao

Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Fire, Earth, Earth, Metal, Wood, and Wood

Nayin: Water from the Golden Cave in the Sand, Great Station, Earth and Big Stream

Analysis of the Five Elements:

Summary: The horoscope is weak, and the horoscope likes "earth", so it is best to use the name. The five-element attribute is "earth". The analysis is as follows:

In this life, the five elements of wood are prosperous; the five elements are short of water; the sun is ruled by the heavenly stem (the same type is: earth and fire; the different types are: metal, wood and water). Five element statistics: 3 wood, 2 fire, 2 earth, 1 Gold, 0 water)

Analysis by God: [Same Score]: Earth 1.65, Fire 2.00, *** 3.65 points; [Odd Score]: Gold 1.03, Wood 3.18, Water 0.66, ** *Total 4.87 points; [Difference]: -1.22 points; [Comprehensive prosperity and decline score]: -1.22 points, "Bazi is weak"; "Bazi likes to use God": Bazi is weak, and Bazi likes "earth", "earth" This is the "god of joy" of this life.

What does zhe mean? The word zhé comes from the mouth. The word "Zhe" comes from Shou Congjin (axe), which means "to cut off with an axe". "Kou" means "speaking" and "speech". "Zhe" and "口" are combined to mean "assertion", "words of decision" and "words of doubt". Original meaning: assertion, decisive words, decisive words. Extended meaning: wisdom, cleverness. Explanation: Assertion and assertion refer to speaking with great certainty. That is to say, every word he said was precious and every sentence was classic, which convinced people's hearts. According to "Shuowen", the word "zhe" may be derived from "Zhe" and "Xin". "" means "inner decision". When the ancients were doing things in complex situations (such as weddings and funerals, building houses and digging wells, etc.), they generally needed to ask gods for help in making decisions, such as burning tortoise shells for divination, or consulting the "Sun Book" (equivalent to what we call " "Old Almanac", which gives a list of things that should or should not be done month by month and day by day). As the first of my country's ancient classics, the "Book of Changes" is essentially a book of decisiveness. The words in it are actually "philosophical words" (words of decisiveness), and the principles in the philosophical words are actually "philosophies" ( reason for decision). "Hanshu" says "or or seek", which shows that "strategy" and "philosophy" are two closely related concepts. Consultation first and decision-making later. Philosophy is the word for decision-making.

In what year did East Evil and West Poison come out? The lines are classic. ? Came out in 1994.

Lines from "Ashes of Time and West Poison" (full version)

Ouyang Feng (monologue): Many years later, I have a nickname called West Poison. Anyone can become vicious. , as long as you have tried what jealousy is, I don’t mind how others see me, I just don’t want others to be happier than me.

Ouyang Feng (monologue): I thought there was a kind of person in the world who would not be jealous because he was too proud. When I debuted, I knew a person because he liked to live in the east. Haunted, so many years later, he was nicknamed Dongxie.

Ouyang Feng (monologue): This year, when the Yellow Emperor comes to Tai Sui, there is drought everywhere. Wherever there is drought, there must be trouble. If there is trouble, then I will have business. My name is Ouyang Feng, and my profession is as a substitute. When people solve problems, they help others solve their problems.

Ouyang Feng (talking to himself): It seems that you are in your early forties. In the past forty years, there are always some things you don’t want to mention anymore, or there are some people you don’t want to talk about. Goodbye, some people have been sorry to you, maybe you thought about killing them, but you didn't dare.

Ha, or maybe you think it’s not worth it, but actually killing someone is very easy. I have a friend who is very good at martial arts, but his life has been a little difficult recently. As long as you give him a little bit of silver, he will definitely help you kill that person. Just think about it. In fact, it is not easy to kill one, but many people will take this risk in order to survive.

Ouyang Feng (monologue): After leaving White Camel Mountain, I went to this desert and started another life.

Ouyang Feng (monologue): On the sixth day of the lunar month, the awakening of insects occurred. Every year at this time, a man comes to me for a drink. His name is Huang Yaoshi. This person is very strange. He always comes from the east every time. This habit has been maintained for many years. This year, he brought me a souvenir.

Huang Yaoshi: Not long ago, I met someone who gave me a jar of wine. She said it was called "Drunk Life and Dreams of Death". After drinking it, you can forget everything you have ever done. I wonder why there is such a wine. She said that the biggest trouble people have is that they have a good memory. If you can forget everything, every day will be a new beginning. How happy would you be? This jar of wine was originally intended for you, but it looks like we have to share it.

Ouyang Feng (monologue): It has always been difficult for me to accept things that are too weird, so I have never drank this drunkenness. Maybe the wine was really effective. From that night on, Huang Yaoshi began to forget many things.

Ouyang Feng: Do you still remember how we met?

Huang Yaoshi: I can’t remember.

Ouyang Feng: Do you still remember how you got here?

Huang Yaoshi: I don’t remember either.

Ouyang Feng: Why do you keep looking at the birdcage?

Huang Yaoshi: Because it looks familiar.

Ouyang Feng (monologue): He got very drunk that night and left early the next morning. I don't know why he gave me the jar of "Drunken Life and Dreams of Death", but I can tell that he has something on his mind. Every time he sees me, he goes to see someone else.

Ouyang Feng (monologue): A month later, Huang Yaoshi went to a far away place, which was the hometown of his good friend. Huang Yaoshi lived there for a while when his friend got married. One day his friend left home. After this time, Huang Yaoshi never went there again.

Huang Yaoshi: Can I buy you a bowl of wine?

Blind Swordsman: I just want to drink water today.

Huang Yaoshi: I seem to have seen you before?

Blind Swordsman: I have never seen you before. You used to be my best friend, but you are no longer my best friend. What are you doing here?

Huang Yaoshi: Not long ago, I met someone. She gave me a jar of wine. She said it was called "Drunk Life and Dreams of Death". After drinking it, no matter what I did before, I would forget everything. I'm very curious as to why there is such a wine. After I drank it, I found that it was really effective. I wonder if you are interested in trying it?

Blind Swordsman: Do you know the difference between drinking alcohol and drinking water? Wine becomes warmer as you drink it, while water becomes colder as you drink it.

Huang Yaoshi: Will we meet again?

Blind Swordsman: No!

Blind Swordsman (monologue): I once swore that if I meet this person again, I will kill him. But I didn't do this because when I saw him, I could no longer see anything.

(Small hotel outside Suzhou City)

Waiter: Are you a boy or a girl?

Murong Yan: The majestic princess of the Yan Kingdom, the young lady of the Murong family, how dare you offend me like this, believe it or not, I will kill you!

Huang Yaoshi: You are drunk.

(Murong Yan drew his sword and stabbed Huang Yaoshi)

Huang Yaoshi: Hahaha...gt;gt;
