Chinese Almanac Date Explorer
A Tong Shu, also called a Chinese almanac or Huang Li, layers ordinary dates with traditional calendar vocabulary such as lunar dates, solar terms, zodiac relationships, and the 12 Day Officers. This tool presents a simplified model for learning those labels; it does not create a personal chart or forecast an outcome.
