Stems and branchesNayin 大林木

This is how the almanac itself writes the day: two characters each for year, month and day, plus the day officer on duty. The good hours and do’s and don’ts above are all looked up from these.

YearYi Si
MonthBing Xu
DayJi Si
危 dayWei, Danger, stands up high: you see far and you sway. Leave yourself a way back.
明堂Bright Hall on duty: good for talks, seeing superiors, handing things up.

FromThe day's officer, spirit, clash and nayin come from tables on the month and day branches. Good hours: Nobleman hours from the day stem, the twelve Yellow and Black Path spirits from the day branch. Solar terms are the observatory's timetable; the lunar date is ICU's Chinese calendar. Times are Taipei time (UTC+8).

Peng Zu's taboosJi Si

Old Chinese almanacs list two customs for every day: one from the day's stem, one from its branch, the same for everyone. The Qing court almanac files them as habits handed down rather than reasoned rules. Each line in the original goes on to say what happens if you ignore it; only the first four characters are printed here. The line for xu days is about an old eating habit that has no place in life today, so it is left out. Whether to follow them is up to you.

己不破券On a ji day no deed was torn up. Read today as: ending or cancelling a contract can wait for another day.
巳不遠行On a si day no long journey began. Some people use it when choosing a departure date.

FromQinding Xieji Bianfang Shu (1739), vol. 35, appendix on the hundred taboo days.
