Chinese to Hijri (Islamic) Date Converter

Enter a date in the Chinese calendar and the tool returns the equivalent date in the Hijri (Islamic) calendar using the standard relationship between the two systems.

1. 1

   Step 1

   Enter the complete Chinese date — day, month, and year.

2. 2

   Step 2

   We anchor each system's epoch, then convert day by day — Chinese: a 13th leap month lands 7 times in each 19-year cycle; Hijri (Islamic): epoch 622 CE (2026 CE ≈ AH 1447–1448).

3. 3

   Step 3

   Read the exact Hijri (Islamic) date: a year spanning 354–355 days, counted month by month.

• 1

  Chinese and Hijri (Islamic) dates do not map one-to-one — the two systems start from different epochs and count leap years differently, so enter the full Chinese date and read the Hijri (Islamic) equivalent instead of shifting the year by a fixed offset.

• 2

  Enter the Chinese–Hijri (Islamic) dates in YYYY-MM-DD format to avoid ambiguity — some conventions read 03/04 as March fourth and others as April third, and a swapped month and day silently shifts every result this page derives.

  Watch century boundaries and very old dates in the Chinese–Hijri (Islamic) system: historical calendars dropped or added days when they were adopted, which is invisible in daily use but material for long-range historical calculations here.

• Anniversaries do not survive conversion unchanged: a Chinese date maps to a fixed Hijri (Islamic) date, but next year's Chinese anniversary lands on a different Hijri (Islamic) date. Reconvert each occurrence instead of adding one year to the last result.

• Reversing the direction is a silent trap: converting from the Hijri (Islamic) calendar back to the Chinese calendar needs the inverse relation, and off-by-one errors cluster at month boundaries where the systems disagree. Verify the round trip returns your original date.
