Is the Gregorian calendar superstitious?

Taboos in the yellow calendar are credible because the formal yellow calendar is compiled according to the actual situation, and its main contents are the 24 solar terms, daily taboos, dry branches and so on. Some contents are based on reality, including astronomical meteorology, seasonal seasons and taboos in people's daily life, which can guide the working people to cultivate.

For example, it is not suitable for "burial" before and after "fright", because insects begin to breed and move in this season, and people buried in it will soon be damaged by insects. Before and after "Grain Rain", it was not suitable for "cooking", because in the past, the stove was made of earth and it was not easy to dry in rainy season, so many taboos followed the seasonal law, which was credible and correct at that time.

Unbelievable

But today, why do we say that the credibility of the Gregorian calendar is not so high? This is because with the development of science and technology, we have many new things and more advanced scientific concepts. Take the "burial" and "cooking" mentioned in the last part, we are all cremated now, and there is no problem of being eaten by insects. Now we are not earthen stoves, and we have more advanced appliances.

Therefore, a lot of lunar calendar information that was suitable for the environment at that time is not so suitable today, and we now know more scientific knowledge. Unlike the customs that people had limited knowledge of natural science in the past, such as "you can't get married in the first month, you can't publish books in the twelfth month", we don't have to avoid it now, because getting married in winter has no bad influence.

Accurately speaking, it is not impossible to believe the taboo of the Gregorian calendar today, but we don't need to believe it so much. It can be used as a reference, but we don't have to care too much. Otherwise, the Gregorian calendar says it's not appropriate to go out today, so we really won't go out to school or work? This is of course unrealistic.
