The source lists in Yi: Set or move a bed (安床); Set up a horse frame (架马); Ancestral or ritual offerings (祭祀); Paint or shape sacred images (塑绘); Consecrate or open light (开光); Travel (出行); Haircut (理发); Cut timber (伐木); Make structural beams (作梁); Open pillar sockets (开柱眼); Build or open a toilet (开厕); Hunting (畋猎); Burial ground work (破土); Encoffining rites (入殓); End mourning garments (除服); Begin mourning garments (成服); Move a coffin (移柩); Open a burial site (启钻); Repair a tomb (修坟); Set a monument (立碑). It lists in Ji: Set up a stove (作灶); Install doors (安门); Build a bridge (造桥); Open business (开市); Burial (安葬). Each entry names a specific traditional activity: ritual offerings are not general reflection, and sealing holes is not cleaning or moving into a home. Related activities are not interchangeable.

Clash explanation (Chong / 冲)
The clash animal is Ox. In traditional almanac reading, people whose zodiac is Ox may treat this as a reminder to slow down around high-stakes plans, formal commitments, or conflict-prone conversations. The cue is clearest when it leads to calmer timing and better preparation.
Caution direction (Sha / 煞)
West is the day's caution direction. Traditionally, Sha direction is handled with extra care for major starts, movement, renovation, or ceremonial activity. For everyday plans, it works as a planning note: confirm the setting, reduce avoidable pressure, and keep ordinary life moving with awareness.

How to read a 2026 Chinese Almanac date
A Chinese almanac date brings together several records: Gregorian date, lunar date, day pillar, Yi and Ji actions, clash animal, caution direction, and seasonal markers when they appear. Read the whole record before turning it into a plan.
The date record is the base text. It identifies the lunar date, weekday, day pillar, zodiac year, solar term when present, and the original source terms listed under Yi and Ji. Without those fields, the page cannot explain why the day is being read in a particular way.
The activity gives the record scale. A wedding, a work opening, a home repair, a contract, a trip, and an ordinary errand do not carry the same weight. The almanac term has to be matched with the actual decision before the date can become practical.
| Date record | Lunar date, weekday, day pillar, zodiac year, solar term, Yi/Ji, Chong, and Sha. |
|---|---|
| Activity context | The same almanac term changes weight across marriage, travel, business, repair, signing, and daily errands. |
| Personal context | Optional birth-based reflections are shown separately; they do not change the public Yi/Ji record. |
