About Day Code چینایي المانیک

په تایوان کې، کیلنڈرونه د نیټې د ویلو سربیره، دوی کولی شي د بخت ساعتونه ووایي او د کوم زودیک حیواناتو نښې باید د دې ورځې په جریان کې محتاط وي. پدې کې هغه شیان شامل دي چې نن ورځ په اسانۍ سره ترلاسه کیدی شي او کوم چې خلک باید د یو څه وخت لپاره پریښودل شي. کله چې تقویم ته ګورئ ، وان فین چن تل فکر کوئ: که چیرې وان فین چن په تقویم کې معلومات له چاپ شوي کلمو څخه شبیانو ته انتقال کړي؟ پاڼه به د لیږد او بیا تنظیم کولو وروسته په زړه پورې او بې ساري ښکاري. له همدې امله، د ورځې کوډ - چینايي الماناک رامینځته شو.

Inspiration: Is today suitable for moving? In the 1960s to 1980s, on the walls of every family in Taiwan, calendars presented by xx companies or oo stores were hanging there. 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.
