The lunar program performs date conversion between the Gregorian Solar
|
|
|
|
Calendar (SC) and the Chinese Lunar Calendar (LC).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Given a date in either calendar, the program also outputs the corresponding
|
|
|
|
"shengxiao" (animal of the year) and "ganzhi" characters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The date range currently covered is from about 1900 A.D. to 2049 A.D.
|

|
The standard time of the Lunar Calendar is Beijing (Hong Kong) Standard Time,
|
