Features: Ancient Chinese classics contain a vast number of Geng-Zhi cycles. Geng-Zhi are abstract concepts, and only with the help of a calendar can one clarify the time they represent. This calendar combines the functions of an annual table, monthly table, daily table, weekly table, solar term table, and lunar eclipse table. It is currently the most scientifically arranged, comprehensive, and user-friendly calendar. Users can directly look up the corresponding Gregorian date by imperial era, year, month, and day in Geng-Zhi, or quickly find the corresponding Chinese lunar date by Gregorian date. Almost all time-related issues in Chinese history can be found answers to in this book. We believe this work will be very helpful to those engaged in historical research, literary research, and archaeological research. One of the purposes of compiling this book is to showcase China's unique calendar system, and the other is to help a broad range of literary and historical scholars correctly understand the time represented by Geng-Zhi in documents. Chinese traditional culture is profound and rich, possessing eternal charm. In the 21st century, people will undoubtedly continue to study Chinese history and culture and read Chinese literature and classics. As historical research deepens, the need to convert Geng-Zhi will become increasingly frequent. We hope this book becomes a valuable tool for everyone studying Chinese history and culture.
