The favorable and avoid lists are traditional almanac references. They are not guarantees or scientific predictions.
HOW TO READ A CHINESE LUNAR CALENDAR
Start with the date, then read the traditional layers.
Read the calendar in four layers: the solar date, lunar date, Gan-Zhi cycle and nearby solar term. Then treat favorable or avoid notes as cultural references, not as a substitute for practical planning.
The result follows the built-in calendar library’s stated civil-date calculation. Different almanac editions and local conventions can vary, especially near midnight, a solar term or a calendar boundary.
SAFETY NOTE
A lucky day never overrides safety.
Do not use a 吉 or 凶 label to bypass permits, property rules, weather checks, curing and testing time, fire, gas, electrical or workplace requirements. For health, legal, financial or high-risk decisions, rely on the relevant qualified professional.
FAQ
Chinese calendar questions, answered
What does this Chinese lunar calendar show?
It converts a selected civil date into a lunar date and shows Gan-Zhi, solar terms, traditional favorable or avoid activities and related day references.
Is this a Chinese almanac or Huangli?
It presents a limited traditional almanac reference. Different Huangli editions and local conventions can disagree, so use it for cultural reflection rather than a guaranteed prediction.
Can I use a lucky day for medical or high-risk decisions?
No. Medical, legal, financial, construction, electrical, gas and other high-risk decisions must follow qualified professional and safety requirements.
Why can two Chinese calendars give different answers?
Methods and editions may use different local-time, midnight, solar-term and almanac conventions. QI KIND states its civil-date calculation and flags boundary uncertainty.
