The Tong Shu, also known as the Chinese almanac, serves as a traditional guide to divination and daily planning. It is predominantly organized around a calendar based on the Chinese lunar year, providing guidance on suitable activities for each day. Historically, many Chinese families have relied on it for determining auspicious dates for significant events such as weddings and funerals.

Originating from the Wong Lik tradition, the Tung Shing has a long-standing cultural heritage. Its primary application lies in selecting appropriate days for important occasions; for example, choosing an auspicious date for a wedding or engagement. The almanac includes detailed information on which days are considered favorable or unfavorable for specific activities, along with recommended timings for carrying them out.

Additionally, the Tung Shing offers conversions between lunar and solar dates, aiding in planning across different calendars. More comprehensive editions extend their scope to include astronomical phenomena like solar and lunar eclipses, seasonal transitions, and temperature forecasts indicating cold or hot days. Some versions also incorporate moral stories that promote ethics and values within cultural contexts.
