Chinese calendar: New Year, zodiac years, lunar months and solar terms
Chinese New Year, zodiac years, lunar months and the 24 solar terms from 1900 to 2100. Every date is calculated with astronomical algorithms, and every day from 1901 to 2100 has been compared with the Hong Kong Observatory's published tables (73,048 days). Despite the name, this is a calendar reference: it covers dates, the zodiac year system and the traditional festivals, not feng shui readings, horoscopes or fortunes.
