It encodes the official holiday schedules published by China's State Council, covering 2004 through 2026, and includes special handling for adjustments like the 2020 Spring Festival extension. The library provides three main functions: checking if a date is a holiday or workday, retrieving the holiday name when applicable, and identifying whether a holiday falls on a makeup workday (\u8c03\u4f11).\n\nThe package has no external runtime dependencies and installs as a pure Python wheel. It is actively maintained and typically receives updates around November each year to incorporate the next year's official holiday schedule. With 1366 GitHub stars, it serves developers building Chinese business applications, scheduling systems, and calendar tools that need to respect China's official working calendar.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package solves a specific, well-defined problem for any application serving Chinese users or businesses. It has no dependencies, installs instantly, carries a permissive license, and is actively maintained with a clear update cadence tied to official announcements. Install it if you need to check Chinese holidays; skip it if your application has no China-specific calendar logic."},"id":"chinese-calendar","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/chinese-calendar","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/chinese-calendar.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/chinese-calendar/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-11-04","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"chinese-calendar","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"check if some day is holiday in China"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":85092,"position":13951,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.11.0"}
