2026年1月黄历

What these words mean

• Pillar: a pair of symbols: a stem written on top and a branch below it. Your year pillar is the pair for your year of birth, and your day pillar the pair for your day of birth. Four pillars make eight symbols, which is what BaZi means: "eight characters".
• Branch (地支, Earthly Branch): the bottom symbol of a pillar. There are twelve, each with an animal sign. The branch of your year pillar is your zodiac animal.
• Clashing sign: each day's branch clashes with one animal sign, the one directly opposite it. The almanac names that sign for every day.
• Solar terms (节气): 24 fixed points in the sun's yearly path, about 15 days apart. A BaZi month starts at a month-opening term (节), and the year starts at the Start of Spring (立春), around February 4.
• Lunar date: the date in the traditional Chinese calendar, whose months follow the moon.

为什么这里没有“宜忌”？市面上的黄历用建除十二神、二十八宿等一整套表来定宜忌。那几张表我们还没有逐条核对过，所以不印。本站的规矩是：能推算、能验证的才写出来，其余留白。日柱、日冲、节气是可以推算的，宜忌不是我们现在能负责的。

Why is there no list of what to do and what to avoid? Printed almanacs set each day's do and avoid lists (宜 and 忌) from a whole system of traditional tables, such as the twelve day officers (建除十二神) and the 28 lunar mansions (二十八宿). We have not yet checked those tables entry by entry, so we do not print the lists. This site's rule is to publish only what can be calculated and verified, and to leave the rest blank. Day pillars, clashes and solar terms can be calculated. The do and avoid lists are not something we can stand behind yet.
