Notable dates this month
Each date shows its corresponding lunar date below it. Traditional festivals (Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn, Dragon Boat, etc.) and the 24 solar terms take priority when shown, calculated with accurate lunar-calendar astronomical algorithms rather than a hardcoded list.
This perpetual calendar puts a Gregorian month grid and lunar calendar information in one place. Each date cell shows the lunar day (such as the 1st, the 15th, the 23rd) under the solar date, and when a date is a traditional lunar festival like Spring Festival or Mid-Autumn, or one of the 24 solar terms like Start of Spring or Winter Solstice, that name is shown instead. Click any day and a detail card opens with its weekday, how far it is from today, which day of the year it is, the lunar date and sexagenary day, the zodiac sign, the traditional almanac 'favorable' and 'unfavorable' activities and the zodiac clash. You can move freely between years and months to find the lunar date of a day, the day a solar term falls on, or the date of Spring Festival in a given year. It is not an official holiday calendar: it does not show statutory days off or makeup workdays, and it is not meant for important date-picking decisions.
These results come from the same lunar-calendar library the page uses. 17 February 2026 is the first day of the first lunar month, Spring Festival, a Tuesday, with sexagenary day Ren-Xu, zodiac sign Aquarius, in a Bing-Wu (Horse) year, and the 48th day of the year. 25 September 2026 is the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, Mid-Autumn Festival, a Friday. 8 October 2026 is the Cold Dew solar term, the 28th day of the eighth lunar month. 22 December 2026 is the Winter Solstice. When you click a day, the card also lists that day's almanac 'favorable' and 'unfavorable' items (the first four of each) and the zodiac clash. For 2026-02-17, the first favorable items are sacrifice, sealing holes, weaving nets and breaking ground. This is traditional folk culture, offered for reference only.
The lunar calendar follows the moon's cycle and uses leap months and solar terms to stay in step with the solar year. Festival dates are fixed by lunar month and day, for example Spring Festival is the first day of the first lunar month and Mid-Autumn is the 15th day of the eighth. The page converts dates with a built-in lunar algorithm, so within the selectable years you can simply go to a year and see the corresponding Gregorian date.
A solar term is the moment the sun reaches a particular point on the ecliptic, and its Gregorian date drifts between two neighbouring days from year to year, for example the 8th in one year and the 9th in another. The page computes each year separately, so small differences between years are normal.
No. Holiday and makeup-day arrangements are published by the government each year and sometimes revised. The labels in the calendar are only calendar information and are not a basis for time off. To count working days between two dates, use this site's Workday Calculator and enter the officially announced holidays and makeup days.
The lunar zodiac animal changes at Spring Festival, the first day of the first lunar month. The label above the grid shows the lunar year and animal for the middle of the month (around the 15th), so when you look at January or February, remember that days before and after Spring Festival belong to different lunar years. Clicking a specific date and reading its lunar date makes this clearer.
The calendar runs entirely in your browser. Lunar and solar-term calculations are done locally with no network lookup, the code sends nothing about the dates you view to a server, and nothing is stored in local storage. After a refresh it goes back to the current month with today selected.
