Chinese Almanac is one of the traditional calendars. It serves as not only an encyclopedia for life but also an influencer on people’s daily life. It bears indescribable importance. In the age of AI, it is inevitable that additional value grows on traditional and cultural commodities through digital improvement. The digitalization of Chinese Almanac offers advantages such as easy use, fashionable style, interactive entertainment, diversified forms, and others while facing issues such as lack of experience-based reading, ambiguous information, operation troubles, and others. This study gives an exploration into the causes of the negative impact of the studied sample on users’ experience from the user’s perspective and in accordance with universal design principles and human cause analysis as well. With “Taishan-uptemple” E- Almanac in New Taipei City used as the case of study, objective recognition experiment and subjective semantic evaluations are employed in this study in order to organize and study the universal design guidelines for digital Chinese Almanac in combination with expert interviews. At last, the digital Almanac is redesigned so that the cultural commodities will be viewed by the public as something connected to human nature and culture rather than a stereotyped scientific feature.
