I believe that many of my friends have already used Microsoft's latest operating system: Windows Vista, then you should not miss the "Windows Calendar" component, which can be found under "All Programs" in the start menu. Simply put, the Windows Calendar is very similar to the calendar feature in Office Outlook, but it's more convenient to use because it integrates seamlessly with the operating system. If you just use Windows Calendar as a tool for scheduling appointments, it's a bit of a waste. Here are a few tips for using Windows Calendar.

Lunar Calendar for Windows if you pay attention, you will find Windows Calendar is not as Office Outlook calendar so you can switch at any time in the "Options → Calendar Options → Advanced options" for rich Chinese characteristics The date of the lunar calendar, so that we are somewhat inconvenient when viewing traditional festivals. In fact, we can use Apple's holiday database to add complete Chinese traditional festivals to the Windows calendar, such as the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Qingming, etc., which is much more convenient.
(1) Visit http://www.apple.com/Macosx/features/
ical/library/holidays.Html, this is Apple's World Festival page, which brings together almost all the countries in the world. The holiday database is more enticing to open the download to the public free of charge.

(2) Enter the main interface of Windows Calendar, select “Subscribe” from the “Share” menu, a dialog box will pop up, press “Ctrl+V” to paste the data in the clipboard. After confirmation, it will automatically link to the Apple server site to download the Chinese holiday database file.

It is recommended to name it "traditional festival". As for the update interval, of course, you don't need to set it. After all, these Chinese lunar holidays are unlikely to change.
After the above work is completed, we can see the "traditional festival" calendar just subscribed in the left pane of the Windows calendar, select a traditional festival, and then you can see the relevant information in the right pane. As shown in Figure 1, you can also set different colors here.
