Distinguish calculated calendar fields from traditional auspicious or inauspicious interpretation.
Use one lookup for cultural reference and low-stakes planning.
Best For
People checking a traditional Chinese almanac date and its calculation basis.
Readers comparing daily activities, hours, clashes, and solar terms.
Cultural reference and low-stakes planning—not safety, medical, financial, or legal decisions.
FAQ
Common questions about this OpenFate tool.
What does the Huangli lookup calculate?
It displays dated calendar fields such as solar terms, activity labels, hours, clashes, Tai positions, and annual directions under the basis selected on the page.
Why can Huangli results differ between tools?
Tools can use different date boundaries, timezones, local-versus-traditional bases, source tables, or interpretive rules. Compare the stated basis before comparing labels.
Does an auspicious date guarantee a good result?
No. Auspicious and inauspicious labels are traditional interpretations, not scientifically validated probabilities. Check weather, safety, schedules, health, finances, consent, and professional requirements.

Uses the selected China civil date. Annual Ganzhi and directions share the Li Chun boundary; hours use Shanghai time.
How this result is built
Lunar dates stay on the Chinese calendar; annual Huangli and Feng Shui fields use the Li Chun convention. Recommendations require direct task evidence, keep conflicts visible, and never use AI to calculate the result.

Direction Watch
The daily Sha is North; the annual San Sha is Due North; the annual Five Yellow is Due South. Apply them only when a real route, entrance, seat, or work direction points there—not as a blanket travel ban.

Recommended Next Step
Layout changes, entry direction, and movement paths can magnify this date’s directional risk.
Avoid delicate repair work, threading, or precision setup; effort can look busy but fail to hold. Avoid acts linked to dogs or agitation around the home; the image is restless domestic space.
