Most Chinese festivals follow the traditional lunar calendar (e.g. Spring Festival = lunar 1/1), so their Gregorian dates shift each year. Two listed here — Qingming and Dongzhi — are jiéqì (solar terms) tied to the sun, not the moon; their dates can shift by up to one day depending on the year. MoonCal computes all of them with the lunar-typescript library and pre-renders 20 years of occurrences into each ICS subscription.
