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.

Avoid receiving land, property, or plots; ownership transfer is treated cautiously. Avoid forcing divination or over-asking for certainty; the act itself can invite anxiety and trouble.
