從文化角度探討農民曆傳統價值的認知

Exploring the Perception of Traditional Values of the Peasant Calendar from a Cultural Perspective

在中國古代，帝王和朝臣普遍依據星宿法則來預測事務的吉凶，而普通百姓則依賴農民曆來確定日常生活中的宜忌。這種依賴農民曆選擇吉日的習俗，不僅反映了對自然節律的尊重，也成為華人文化中不可或缺的一部分，即使在科技發達的今日，許多家庭仍然保留著傳統的紙本農民曆，同時擁有數位版本農民曆。農民曆不僅是廣泛實用的民生用書，它的內容還充分反映了普通民眾的日常生活。本研究透過問卷調查探討了347位用戶對擇日文化的看法，結果表明受試者對農民曆的認知和需求大多呈現正面態度。本研究期望透過豐富農民曆文化創意設計的內涵，促進傳統文化的永續發展，並使其融入現代生活。

Ancient emperors relied on the rules of constellations to predict auspicious and inauspicious events for significant decisions, while the daily activities of common folk were also determined by the auspicious and inauspicious days noted in the farmer's almanac. Consulting the farmer's almanac to choose suitable times for activities is a significant cultural practice in Chinese society. Even today, with advanced technology, many households still keep a physical copy of the farmer's almanac, and electronic versions are installed on smart devices. In essence, the farmer's almanac can be considered the most widely used and practical book for daily life, fully reflecting the lives of ordinary people. This study explores the public's awareness and attitudes towards the ''date selection'' culture within the farmer's almanac through a survey involving 347 participants. The results show that most respondents have a farmer's almanac at home, and their perception and demand for it are positive. This research aims to enrich the content of future cultural creative designs and ensure the sustainable development of traditional culture, integrating it into modern life across time and ethnicities.
