But as contents are constantly added--climatic information, horoscopes, dietary advice, metric conversion tables, useful social phrases--the almanac may range anywhere from 20 to 100 pages, a kind of mini-encyclopedia for the home.
但隨著時代演進，附載內容日漸多樣：除了節氣、農作、漁撈、擇吉，其他如婚配、命相、風水、常用喜慶賀辭，食物相剋圖、計量換算表… …，林林總總，不一而足；如今的黃曆，少則廿餘頁，多至百頁，倒像本小型家庭百科全書了。
