Count down to the tool’s Tiancang convention: day 25 of the first Chinese lunar month.
Overview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
This page counts toward Tiancang (填仓节), using one specific calendar convention: the 25th day of the first month in the Chinese lunar calendar. The Chinese characters 填仓节 are often rendered as Tiancang Festival or Fill-the-Granary Festival in English. This countdown identifies a date; it does not determine whether a local community observes the occasion on that day.
A lunar date does not fall on the same Gregorian date every year. For the selected lunar year, the page converts month 1, day 25 to its corresponding Gregorian calendar date, then compares that date with the current time on your device. For example, the Hong Kong Observatory’s 2026 Gregorian-Lunar conversion table maps lunar month 1, day 25 to March 13, 2026. Check the selected year’s displayed date instead of carrying a Gregorian date forward from another year.
Hong Kong Observatory, Gregorian-Lunar Calendar Conversion Table of 2026 — confirms March 13, 2026 corresponds to lunar month 1, day 25; checked 2026-09-29. View the official conversion table.
The Palace Museum, “Folk observances in the first lunar month” — notes Tiancang observances on either lunar day 20 or 25; checked 2026-09-29. Read the cultural reference.
Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
Make sure you are viewing the Tiancang page. Its target is lunar month 1, day 25, rather than a custom date or a general list of lunar festivals.
Use the year control near the date heading. The displayed Gregorian date and lunar date update for that selected year. The initial year is the current Gregorian year.
Before the target date, the display shows remaining days, hours, minutes, and seconds. On the date it shows its festival-day message; after the date it shows elapsed days and offers a control to switch to the next year.
The date and countdown use your device’s local clock and time zone. For an event planned in another location, check the date and time used by the people attending before sending invitations.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
If your household marks Tiancang, select the intended year and use the displayed Gregorian date to add a reminder. This helps with planning around the date without assuming every family follows the same local custom.
Organizers preparing a cultural calendar can check the selected year’s lunar-to-Gregorian mapping, then label the notice with the local observance convention and local event time they have confirmed.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
No. This page fixes the lunar date at month 1, day 25, and its Gregorian equivalent changes by year. Select the year you need and use the date shown there.
Tiancang customs vary by region and source; some describe observances on the 20th, while others use the 25th or distinguish separate observance days. This page follows only the 25th-day convention. Confirm the date followed by your community if that distinction matters.
No. The selected year remains in view. Once its target date has passed, the page shows elapsed days and provides a next-year switch; select it to see the next lunar date’s Gregorian equivalent.
Notes
Review scope, result limitations, and important precautions before use.
Tiancang (填仓节) is a folk observance, not a universal public holiday schedule. The Palace Museum describes the occasion on either the 20th or 25th day of the first lunar month, illustrating that conventions differ. This tool intentionally counts to the 25th only; it does not establish the date observed in every region or community, announce closures, or provide an event timetable. The countdown compares a calendar date with your device’s current time, so an incorrect device clock or a different time zone can affect the displayed status and remaining time. For a culturally specific event, verify the local convention and event details with its organizer.
