Technical Notes & Usage TipsLunar calculations are based on the coordination of synodic months and solar terms. For example, the 2025 Chinese New Year falls on January 29 in the Gregorian calendar (Year of the Wood Snake). If used on October 1, 2024, it will show approximately 120 days until the Spring Festival (the exact value changes depending on the current date). We recommend that overseas users take time zone differences into account when viewing the countdown.
