Chinese Date Comparison Tool

Compare practical candidate dates with simplified Chinese almanac vocabulary after the real requirements are already met.

First make a shortlist from consent, venue, contracts, budget, health advice, travel, and access. Enter one YYYY-MM-DD date per line or separated by commas; this tool compares calendar vocabulary only and does not recommend or rank dates.

Never use a date label to delay urgent care, legal action, travel safety measures, contract obligations, or necessary repairs. A traditional preference belongs only among dates that already meet real-world requirements.

Build the viable-date shortlist first

The original value of this tool is comparing dates you can already use - not replacing judgment with a score. For a wedding, move, opening, trip, or contract, confirm consent, eligibility, bookings, budget, rules, insurance, weather, and access first.

Chinese New Year Taboos: What Tradition Says Not to Do, When Each Rule Lifts, and What to Do Instead

Chinese New Year runs on a short list of prohibitions that nearly every celebrating family recognises: no sweeping on the first day, no washing or cutting hair, no knives or scissors, no porridge for breakfast, no crying or quarrelling, no black or white clothing, no lending or borrowing, and great care with anything breakable. This guide sets out the full list with the reason tradition gives for each rule, how long each one is observed, the recognised remedies when a rule gets broken anyway, a day-by-day view of the first five days, and the practical modern adaptations for apartment living, work, and travel. Every rule is framed as what it is, a tradition documented by sources such as Singapore's National Library Board and China Highlights, not a prediction.

Ghost Month and Property: Should You Buy, Move, or Renovate in the Seventh Lunar Month?

The seventh lunar month, Ghost Month, is the one stretch of the year when a large share of Chinese and Southeast Asian home buyers quietly put their plans on hold: tradition says no buying, no signing, no moving in, and no starting renovations while the gates of the spirit world stand open. This guide sets out exactly which property actions the tradition pauses and which it does not, the 2025 to 2028 dates, what market reporting actually shows about prices and volumes (a thinner crowd, not a cheaper market), the standard compromises households use to sign now and move later, and the etiquette that matters if you do move in while neighbours are making offerings. The tradition is reported as tradition, and the property decision is left where it belongs, with your numbers.
