Tung Shing
''Tung Shing'' () is a Chinese divination guide and almanac. It consists primarily of a calendar based on the Chinese lunar year. ==History== ''Tung Shing'' originated from ''Wong Lik'' (黃曆, the "Yellow Calendar"), which is rumoured to have been written by the Yellow Emperor. It has changed its form numerous times throughout the years during all the dynasties; the latest version was said to have been edited by the Qing dynasty and was called the ''Tung Shu'' (通書). ''Tung'' (通) means "myriad" or "all", ''Shu'' (書) means "book", so ''Tung Shu'' literally meant "All-knowing Book". However, in Cantonese Chinese and Mandarin Chinese, the pronunciation of the word for "book" is a homophone of a word for ''defeated'' (輸), so ''Tung Shu'' sounded like "Defeated in All Things" (通輸). Therefore, the name was changed to ''Tung Shing'' (通勝), which meaning "Victorious in All Things".〔Palmer 1986, p. 9.〕
