About Day Code Kiinalainen Almanakka
Taiwanissa kalenterit kertovat päivämäärän lisäksi onnentunnit ja sen, minkä horoskooppieläinmerkkien tulisi kalenterin mukaan olla varovaisia sinä päivänä. Se sisältää asioita, jotka voitaisiin saavuttaa sujuvasti tänään ja mitkä ihmisten tulisi jättää syrjään joksikin muuksi ajaksi. Kun katsot kalenteria, Wan Fen Chen ajattelee aina: entä jos Wan Fen Chen siirtäisi kalenterin tiedot painetuista sanoista kuvakkeiksi? Sivu näyttäisi upealta ja ainutlaatuiselta transponoinnin ja uudelleenjärjestelyn jälkeen. Siksi päiväkoodi - kiinalainen almanakka syntyi.

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.
