Stems and branchesNayin 大海水

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
MonthJia Wu
DayRen Xu
定 dayDing, Settle, fixes things in place. What has been agreed can go into writing.
天刑Heavenly Punishment on duty: rules everywhere and faults get picked; following procedure saves the most trouble.

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 taboosRen Xu

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.

壬不決水On a ren day no dyke was opened to let water out. Today: leave the plumbing alone.

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