我们每天都在用日历,却几乎不知道今天在自然里是什么日子。 手机会提醒你开会,不会提醒你今年第一阵凉风已经到了。 岁时记把一年切成二十四节气、七十二候——每五天一候,每一候都有名字:东风解冻、蛰虫始振、凉风至、寒蝉鸣。那是一套极细的、以物候为刻度的时间感。 【今日】一眼看见今天是什么日子 候名以竖排大字呈现,配《月令七十二候集解》原文与白话考注。往下还有四张卡片:今日花信风、一件可做的岁时仪式、应季诗一首、时令食味三道。 【岁时】二十四气环成一圈 二十四气均匀分布圆环,每气三候,周而复始。交节时刻不是查表得来——采用截断 VSOP87D 星历求太阳视黄经,施以 FK5 归算、章动与光行差修正,误差仅数秒。每一气都标出对应的太阳黄经度数。 【记录】把观察攒成自己的物候年鉴 哪天听见第一声蝉,哪天看见玉兰开。写下观察,选一枚物候标签,可以标注地点、附上照片。记录会落在「物候年轮」上——一节一气一枝,花开几朵看你记了多少。攒够一年,导出成一张年度年鉴长图。 【专题】公版典籍为骨,白话考注为肉 · 月令七十二候全解:72 篇,每候原文、白话、博物考。「鵙始鸣」考据为伯劳鸟,「鹰化为鸠」是古人的误会。 · 二十四番花信风图鉴:24 篇,每花花期、植物志、诗词。 · 节气食单:72 道时令食饮,出自《山家清供》《随园食单》今译。 · 岁时民俗考:72 条,花朝、上巳、晒书、数九。 典籍出处:《逸周书·时训解》《月令七十二候集解》《荆楚岁时记》《东京梦华录》《燕京岁时记》《山家清供》——均为公版。白话考注与全部插图为原创。 【日签与小组件】 每日日签可分享,也能存进相册。三个主屏小组件各看一件事,把今天是什么物候放在看得见的地方。 【关于安静】 没有广告,没有开屏,没有账号,不收集任何个人信息。记录只存在你的手机与你自己的 iCloud,我们没有服务器,也读不到。 节气推送只在节气当日与花信始日各一条,每五天最多一条,文案即内容,不做营销推送。 【免费与会员】 二十四节气、七十二候全解、岁时页、每日日签与分享、全部小组件,都不收钱。物候手账免费可记 40 条——到了上限,已有的记录照看、照改、照导出,一条都不锁,只是新增需要会员。 会员解锁:物候手账无限记录、年度物候年鉴长图,以及花信图鉴、节气食单、岁时民俗三个专题。 · 岁时记会员 · 年:¥38 / 年,首年 ¥28,到期自动续期 · 岁时记会员 · 终身:¥88,一次买断,此后所有版本都能用 订阅会在当前周期结束前 24 小时自动续期并扣费,除非在此之前取消。可在「设置 ▸ 顶部你的名字 ▸ 订阅」中管理或关闭自动续期。 使用条款(EULA):https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ 隐私政策:https://xdx888999.github.io/suishiji-privacy/ 技术支持:https://xdx888999.github.io/suishiji-privacy/support.html
