Stems and branchesNayin 金箔金

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.

YearBing Wu
MonthXin Mao
DayGui Mao
建 dayJian, Establish, opens the twelve-day round: things are just standing up, a day to set a direction and take the first step.
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 taboosGui Mao

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.

癸不詞訟On a gui day no lawsuit was brought. Read today as: filing a claim can wait for another day.
卯不穿井On a mao day no well was dug. Today: no drilling or work on underground pipes.

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