The 2007 lunar calendar one page pdf file showing the phases of the moon is now available. The graphic image here is its negative, what I call "white on black".I really like the way these calendars look, but they are a useful tool for explaining the Chinese calendar. It is easy to see where new moons, marking the start of the lunar month, fall throughout the year. I always carry more than one if I am going to show it in a classroom, as there are always a couple of people who really want a copy of their own.
I have a black on white copy in a pdf file that you can print using far less ink, for a copy of either, email me at mus-mandarin@wubison.com. If you don't say which copy you want, it will be the "black on white" pdf version, the opposite of what is displayed here. If you want a gif of this, just let me know in your mail. To make your own as we did or use any of the other display options, use Andrew W. Roberts' lcal program, now available at this postscript calendar site. You would need your own C compiler.
