How to read the almanac
The Huangli page is best for first reading the lunar date, ganzhi and zodiac for a given day, then using the solar term to understand that day's traditional context. If you also need to convert between solar and lunar dates, take a look at Solar to Lunar and Perpetual Calendar.
