The music office of heaven, and guests from far away.
In the almanac
The almanac gives each day one mansion in a fixed cycle. Xie Ji Bian Fang Shu traces the day-by-day count to an old Western Regions text on the seven planets. The Building row is from the Yu Xia Ji, which rates each mansion for building work.
