今日通书 · The almanac today
The Chinese calendar today
Today in the Chinese calendar: the almanac (通书) gives the day its lunar date, pillar, solar term and day officer, and lists what the day favours (宜) and what it avoids (忌). This page shows the date where you are and turns over at midnight; every day also has a page of its own.
