Chinese Calendarssss
Sometime back in 2006, I decided to make a milestone in my life, make one of life's most important decision ---- that is to get married.
Every conventional chinese would know that the first thing to getting married is "Zhak Yat [canto]", auspicious day selection.
There's a complicated study / knowledge involved into this step and not every ordinary persons knows how, especially in this country.
Being a science educated person, I was somewhat suspicious / sceptical to claims of fengshui, more so listening to advice given by some chinese fengshui master in which their qualifications/capabilities have no supporting documents.
As the old chinese saying, it's better to believe that it exist rather than not (if it's not a hassle).
As such, I embarked on a quest to understand the knowledge on the internet. The return was very informative.
Below are some of the good materials to start with, and I dedicate this to my friends who are looking into making one of life's most important decision.
1. http://www.bdlrl.com/ To understand what is 黄历 and 农历, 干支 and perhaps chinese astrology.
2. http://www.oio.com.tw/ Detailed 黄历. Use this to find out 干支 of your birth date (fiancé/e, parents & in-laws as well while you are at it). Very useful site, software avaible for wedding day selection.
I managed to pick a day that was also confirmed to be suitable by the master.
Happy reading & learning.
