Chinese Lunar Calendar Converter: Gregorian to Lunar
Convert Gregorian dates to Chinese lunar calendar dates, or enter a lunar date and convert it back to Gregorian. Supports dates from 1900 to 2100.
Quick answer: Choose a Gregorian date to get its lunar year, lunar month, lunar day and zodiac animal. For reverse conversion, enter the lunar year, month, day and whether the month is a leap month.
Range: 1900-2100. Leap lunar months exist only in some years.
01 /How the lunar converter works
The Chinese lunar calendar is lunisolar. Months follow lunar phases, and leap months are inserted in some years to keep the calendar aligned with the solar year.
This tool uses the tested solarlunar conversion library for the 1900-2100 range and displays the result in English-friendly numeric format.
For source assumptions and range limits, see the conversion methodology. Dates outside 1900-2100 are intentionally not accepted by this calculator.
For leap-month checks, zodiac year boundaries and historical-date caveats, read the Chinese lunar calendar conversion limits guide.
