About Day Code Almanacco Cinese
A Taiwan, i calendari oltre a indicare la data, potrebbero indicare le ore della fortuna e quali segni di animali zodiacali dovrebbero fare attenzione durante quel giorno, secondo il calendario. Include cose che potrebbero essere ottenute senza problemi oggi e che le persone dovrebbero mettere da parte per un'altra volta. Quando guardi il calendario, Wan Fen Chen pensa sempre: e se Wan Fen Chen trasponesse le informazioni sul calendario dalle parole stampate alle icone? La pagina sembrerebbe meravigliosa e unica dopo la trasposizione e il riarrangiamento. Pertanto, è nato il Codice del giorno - Almanacco cinese.

People tore off one page early in the morning to celebrate the coming of a new day. In addition to telling you the date, you could tell the fortune hours and which zodiac animals signs should be careful during that day, according to the calendar. It includes things that could be achieved smoothly today and which ones I should put aside for some other time. On this little piece of paper, many codes of daily life were hidden there.
