The Chinese Lunar Calendar is a solilunar calendar, consisting of months corresponding exactly to lunar cycles and years which stay more-or-less in sync with seasonal years. The structure of the calendar depends on the exact times of certain astronomical events, principally dark moons and winter solstices.
The solar calendar consists of a series of seasonal years which are divided into 24 "solar terms". The lunar calendar consists of a series of years which are divided into 12 or 13 lunar months. A solar year always begins at the (northern) winter solstice. A lunar month always begins on the day of a dark moon.
Chinese Calendrics is used to do the following:
To convert between dates in the Chinese solar and lunar calendars and dates in the Common Era and Julian calendars.
To calculate the date of New Year's Day in the Chinese lunar calendar.
To ascertain the Western dates of the starts of all lunar months in a year in the lunar calendar.
To find leap months in the lunar calendar.
To find the Western dates corresponding to Chinese anniversaries (e.g., birthdays).
To move forward or backward from a given date (and time) either by a period such as a month (Western or Chinese) or by any number of days.
To calculate the phase of the Moon for any time within a 6000-year period.
To search for the next or previous full moon, dark moon, lunar quarter, solar term or solstice or equinox of a certain type.
To search for a solstice or an equinox in combination with a dark moon or a full moon.
To search for the next or previous day, month or year with a certain element-animal correspondence (e.g., the next water-rabbit year or the next fire-chicken day).
To find days for which the element-animal is the same for day, month and year.

WHY SHOULD REPEAT WEB VISITORS REQUEST THE SAME CONTENT OVER AND OVER when it can be cached and accessed faster from a local browser or proxy cache? CacheRight for IIS 4/5/6 allows Web developers to easily craft and administer effective cache control policies for every Web site resource through a single rules file, freeing administrators from establishing rules in a one-off fashion and without requiring MMC access for developers.
CACHERIGHT WILL DRAMATICALLY SPEED UP PAGE LOADS FOR REPEAT VISITORS, reduce overall bandwidth consumption, and eliminate server strain caused by unnecessary validation requests. A faster site means happier customers and more productive corporate users.
CACHE CONTROL FOR MANY DEVELOPERS IS LIMITED TO USING THE META TAG. Unfortunately, this technique is time consuming, fails to leverage proxy caches, works poorly for HTML files, and does nothing at all for the most cache-worthy items in a site: images, PDFs, and other large media files.
WITH CACHERIGHT, A SIMPLE CONFIGURATION RULES FILE in the Web site's home directory enables developers to set up rules that control expiration by file location or file type. Unchanging images, PDFs, Flash, multimedia files, and other page elements are delivered crisply from the repeat user's browser cache. Meanwhile, dynamic content is served guaranteed fresh, without competing with validation requests and static content for precious server cycles and bandwidth.
CACHERIGHT IS FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH IIS 4/5/6 and Windows NT/2000/Server 2003 and is easy to implement as a low-impact ISAPI filter with intuitive, easy-to-master rule statements. As with all Port80 Software IIS Web server tools, CacheRight is available for a fully functional free 30-day trial and includes free support.
