Real-time countdown to the 15th day of the 10th lunar month to help you plan traditional festival activities.
Overview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
Xiayuan Festival (also rendered Xia Yuan) is observed on the fifteenth day of the tenth month in the Chinese lunar calendar. Its corresponding Gregorian date changes from year to year. This countdown displays the date calculated for the selected year, the lunar date, and the remaining days, hours, minutes, and seconds when the date is still ahead. A Guangdong provincial cultural-history article also identifies the observance with the tenth lunar month’s fifteenth day.
The calendar date shown is the Gregorian equivalent of the selected lunar-calendar date. The countdown is a time difference to midnight at the start of that displayed local calendar date; it is a planning aid rather than a claim that every community begins an observance at that exact moment. When the date has passed, the page identifies it as passed and offers a way to move to the following year. On the date itself, the countdown switches to an “is today” state.
Use the year control to view a different annual occurrence. The page includes a calendar-export control for the currently displayed date, so you can add a reminder to a compatible calendar. Check the event date and time zone after importing: the countdown follows your device’s local clock, while calendar applications may display saved events according to their own time-zone settings.

Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
Open the Xiayuan page and check the selected year. If you are planning ahead, change the year and confirm the Gregorian date shown.
Use the remaining-time display as a local-clock countdown. When the date has already passed, advance to the next year rather than treating a negative countdown as an event time.
Use the calendar control to add the listed event. Review the imported date, time, and time zone in your calendar app before sharing it with a group.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
A household keeping a note of traditional observances can check this year’s Gregorian date, then export it so family members have a reminder despite the date shifting annually.
An educator or event organizer can compare the selected year’s date with a venue or school calendar. The countdown helps with scheduling; the organizer still decides the local program and start time.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
No. The observance is tied to the 15th day of the 10th Chinese lunar month, so its Gregorian equivalent changes by year.
No. It counts to the displayed local calendar date, not to a universal ceremony or event start time. Follow the schedule of the community or event you plan to attend.
Yes. Use the calendar-export control, then inspect the imported event’s date and time-zone presentation in your calendar application.
Notes
Review scope, result limitations, and important precautions before use.
Xiayuan customs and observance can vary by community. The countdown supplies an annual date reference and reminder; it does not establish that the occasion is a public holiday, describe every local tradition, or set a required event time. Calendar conversion and countdown display can also depend on device-local time and the selected year, so verify the date against the needs of your own event.
