About this almanac
Each day in the Tong Shu carries a pillar from the 60-day cycle, an animal it clashes with, and one of twelve Day Officers that marks what the day traditionally suits. Months begin at the solar terms, not the lunar new moon, which is why the year turns at Li Chun. Learn more in How to read a Tong Shu, Li Chun vs Chinese New Year, or browse this month's almanac.
