The manuscript depicts tables of the local calendar and drawings. The content relates to divination or fortune-telling determining the good and bad days for performing daily activities. The first page shows a table containing figures of days and months. The text under the table describes the days considered auspicious or inauspicious for performing daily routine work. For example, the day of kao kòng (nine piles) is regarded as good for cutting clothes or for sewing and starting work in the rice fields but not good for performing a cremation ceremony. The manuscript is mostly used by a monk or a ceremonial master of the village, who is knowledgeable and respected by the people in order to give advice to them for performing a ceremony and other activities.
