Jingchu Almanac - English translation

Japanese: 荆楚歳時記 - けいそさいじき(英語表記)Jīng chǔ suì shí jì
Jingchu Almanac - English translation
A book that records the customs of the Six Dynasties period in China, mainly in Jingchu (Hunan and Hubei provinces), with details of the seasons from New Year to December. Written by Sorin (498-502) of the Liang dynasty, a one-volume version with detailed annotations by Du Gongzhan of the Sui dynasty is widely circulated, but Sorin's original work is thought to have been ten volumes long. It is the oldest surviving private annual event record, and includes Buddhist events such as the Buddha's Birthday in April, the Obon Festival in July, and the Tsuina Festival in December.
