I have a few people around me who use Lunar Calendar instead of Gregorian one, so my current set up:

*** Birthdays
:PROPERTIES:
:CATEGORY: Birthday
:END:
**** NAME <1980-09-09 Thu +1y>

fails to show up at the right time on org-agenda.

I know that there is calendar-chinese-date-string function that changes the Gregorian date to a Chinese one, but I don't know how that would work within .org file.

Any help?

  • Would it be acceptable to convert the date into Gregorian? Or do you want to keep the date in Lunar but have it show up up in `org-agenda` as Gregorian? – Brian Malehorn Apr 14 '16 at 00:09
  • @Brian Malehorn To be honest, the only way I would ever encounter the birthday would be through org-agenda, so as long as the birthday gets displayed on the agenda at the right time, then I don't really care how the original is kept. – THIS USER NEEDS HELP Apr 14 '16 at 09:13

If You just want to display important dates on lunar calendar, you can try following: 

**** TODO Mother's birthday  
   <%%(diary-chinese-anniversary 1 1)>

This will show up on lunar calendar's 1st day of 1st month every year.
