Hong Kong Yong Jing Tang Almanac

The Tung Shing, also known as the almanac, is a vital record of the year, month, day, and time. It calculates the positions of the sun and moon, the progression of solar terms, and predicts the timing of the new moon. In the past, the almanac held great significance and was compiled by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, distributed nationwide. In the Republic of China, the government published almanacs but removed elements such as auspicious and inauspicious positions and taboos. However, people compiled their own almanacs based on customs, providing valuable information and widely embraced by believers seeking good fortune and warding off evil.
