“Dragon” refers to the Chen day. From the first to the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the day that is Chen day determines how many dragons govern water. As the saying goes, 'Too many dragons don't govern water,' which may indicate drought or uneven rainfall.
“Ox” refers to the Chou day. From the first to the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the day that is Chou day determines how many oxen plow fields. Many oxen plowing fields indicates easy farm work, while few oxen indicate hard labor.
“Person” refers to the Bing day. From the first to the tenth day of the first lunar month, the day that is Bing day determines how many people share cakes. Fewer people and more cakes indicate a good harvest, while more people and fewer cakes indicate an average year.
“Gold” refers to the Geng day. From the first to the tenth day of the first lunar month, the day that is Geng day determines how many days to get gold. The earlier the day to get gold, the better the financial fortune is predicted to be.
“Xin” refers to the Xin day. From the first to the tenth day of the first lunar month, the day that is Xin day determines how many days to get Xin. Xin day signifies hardship, so the later Xin is obtained, the better.
When you need to check traditional festivals, solar terms, or lunar dates, the Zaomatou converter provides accurate lunar calendar conversion services. Based on the Chinese lunar calendar algorithm, this tool converts Gregorian dates to lunar dates and outputs the corresponding Chinese zodiac, stem-branch cycle, solar terms, and festivals. The Chinese lunar calendar is a lunisolar calendar system based on moon phase cycles, widely used for traditional Chinese festivals and agricultural activities.
Does it support converting Lunar dates to Gregorian dates?
Yes. The tool provides two-way conversion between Gregorian and Lunar calendars. You can switch modes to convert back and forth.
How are leap months indicated?
Leap months are clearly marked in the monthly view as "Leap Month X" (e.g., "Leap 5th Month") to ensure the accuracy of lunar calculations.
This tool is based on standard lunar calendar algorithms, and the results are for reference only. It does not support folk customs such as the Chinese almanac (Huangli) auspicious/inauspicious days, nor does it include official statutory holiday adjustment information. The date query range is limited by the years supported by the algorithm; extreme historical dates may not be converted accurately.
For users requiring precise lunar calculations, it is recommended to understand the complexity of the lunar calendar algorithm: the length of a lunar month is not fixed (29 or 30 days), and the arrangement of leap months follows the rule of 7 leap months every 19 years. For example, January 22, 2023 (Gregorian) corresponds to the 1st day of the 1st month in the Renyin year (Lunar), while February 10, 2024 (Gregorian) corresponds to the 1st day of the 1st month in the Jiachen year (Lunar). This conversion requires considering moon phase cycles and leap month adjustments, rather than a simple date offset.
