Chinese lunar month converter
Chinese lunar dates are organized by lunar month and lunar day. Leap lunar months can appear in some years.
Quick answer: Use the calendar converter to find the Chinese lunar month and day for a Gregorian date. Leap months only exist in certain years.
01 /Examples and fit notes
Date lookup

For historically sensitive dates, verify with authoritative calendar sources.
Note 2
The site uses a tested 1900-2100 lunar calendar library.
02 /How to use this lookup
This page targets one Chinese calendar search phrase. Use the main calendar converter for the actual date calculation, especially when leap lunar months or date-of-birth lookups are involved.
Chinese lunar conversion is date-specific and range-limited. Check the Gregorian date, lunar month, leap-month flag and weekday before using the result in a booking, form or family record.
03 /Calendar conversion context
Chinese lunar date conversion is not a simple month-name translation. The calendar is lunisolar, some years contain leap lunar months, and zodiac-year lookup depends on the Chinese New Year boundary rather than January 1.
The main converter supports practical modern lookups from 1900 to 2100. It is designed for birthdays, family notes, festival checks and cultural calendar lookup, not for ancient historical chronology or legal evidence.
For the full checklist, read the Chinese lunar calendar conversion limits guide. It explains leap-month status, supported range, zodiac boundaries and when a specialist calendar reference is safer.
