An almanac describes traditional day-types. It cannot decide health, money, law, marriage or children. Burial, marriage and medical items on these pages are what a book states, never advice.

In the classical sources

張為鹿

張 is the deer.

協紀辨方書 卷一

About this entry

張 takes the deer in 協紀辨方書 卷一, an animal resembling the horse of the 午 palace in which it sits. 卷三十六 lists it among thirteen cutting-clothes mansions that the editors call a foreign custom.

It completes the moon group of 星厯考原 卷五 with 危, 畢 and 心. The weekday link, a modern one, gives it Monday. Neighbors are 星 and 翼.
