Yi (宜) and Ji (忌) in the Chinese almanac
The traditional Chinese almanac (通胜 / 黄历) labels each day with activities that are considered favourable (宜) or best avoided (忌). This finder scans a six-month window and lists days whose 宜 terms match the event you selected — wedding, moving, renovation, and so on.
How to use this date finder
Choose a start month. The calendar shows the next six months and highlights matching auspicious days. Then enter your zodiac animal or birth year to hide days that clash with your sign (Liu Chong). Leap months are included when they fall in range. Export the filtered dates as a calendar file, or share the link with family. Switch to another event type below if you are planning a different ceremony or project.
Personal clash (Liu Chong, 六冲)
A printed almanac lists the same lucky days for everyone. In traditional practice you also avoid days whose earthly branch clashes with your year animal — the six opposing pairs (Rat–Horse, Ox–Goat, Tiger–Monkey, Rabbit–Rooster, Dragon–Dog, Snake–Pig). A day that is 宜 for your event can still be a personal clash. The filter on this page applies that check so the highlighted dates are both almanac-favourable and compatible with your sign.

Cultural guidance, not a guarantee
Almanac dates are a folk tradition for choosing ceremony and project days. They are not medical, legal, or financial advice. Always confirm practical constraints — venue, weather, local holidays — independently.
History of the Imperial Chinese Almanac (Tong Sing)
The Chinese Almanac (黄历 / 通胜, Huangli or Tong Sing) has been compiled by imperial astronomical boards for over 2,000 years. Originally restricted to royal court astrologers during the Han and Tang dynasties to guide imperial sacrifices and agricultural labor, block-printed almanacs became widely distributed among the public during the Song and Ming dynasties to select auspicious dates for weddings, groundbreaking, travel, and major life endeavors.
