Lunar New Year Countdown Screensaver
The Lunar New Year Countdown screensaver counts down to the next real Lunar New Year, using the real published dates of the Chinese lunisolar calendar. It is free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Lunar New Year Countdown screensaver works
The saver looks up the next real Lunar New Year date from a pre-loaded table of published lunisolar calendar dates.
A live countdown ticks down to that real date at local midnight.
The upcoming year's real zodiac animal is shown alongside the countdown.
The computation runs entirely in your browser — no network fetch is needed.
A worked example
As the countdown reaches zero on the real Lunar New Year's Eve, the display automatically advances to count down to the following year's real date.
