This Web site offers detailed information on the Chinese calendar with a clear explanation of the solar terms. There are also a number of links that lead to additional information. For consistency, I use this Web site’s translations for the names of each solar term and its dates for the year 2000.

This is a Chinese astrology Web site, but it’s written by a mathematician/computer scientist who has spent over a decade researching solar and lunar dates. His explanation of the Chinese solar terms is clear and simple, and the rest of his Web site is full of fascinating information.
