Holiday file for P.R. China

(In reply to comment #2)
> - The lantern day seems to be missing (yuánxiāojié / xiaoguonian)

Oh, I forgot it, like some other lunar calendar holidays which are not free
days (and thus not indicated in
http://cnreviews.com/life/living-in-china/china_public_holiday_2009_20081210.html)...
I added the Lantern Festival with colour black (which I used for all the days
that are not free days).

> - "元旦 (New Year)" weekend on 1 january looks incorrect as this one is
> celebrated on the 1st of january only.

I think it's correct. "weekend" is the attribute which makes the day look like
a weekend day, without working hours being shown... according to the specs.

> - According to my sources, the spring festival is a 7 days off event.

It usually is - but only three days are really "fixed" public holidays, which I
indicate by
"春节 (Chinese New Year / Spring Festival)" weekend on 25 january 2009 length 3
days
then, there were three days off (but not real public holidays, so some
companies still let their employees work, AFAIK) in 2009, indicated by
yellow "节假日 (day off)" weekend on 28 january 2009 length 3 days
and the next day is a Saturday. Seven days off in a row.

> - Why do you mention the working days without mentioning why it is a special
> date ?

I don't quite understand. Do you mean I should add a note like "working day
because ... was a day off"? The problem is, I don't reliably know which days
are swapped for what days, I just know which are a day off and which are
working days (from
http://cnreviews.com/life/living-in-china/china_public_holiday_2009_20081210.html
- for this year). And since they are nearby the holidays which cause that
"disruption", I guess people will understand what they are about... if they
have lived in China for some time, anyway ;)

> I also don't see :
> - The love day (Qixijie)

Ok, added for 2009 - black "七夕节 Lover's Day" on 26 august 2009

> - the hungry ghost day (?) (Zhongyuanjie) 

This doesn't seem to be a widely known holiday - I asked three Chinese persons
whether they know what "中元节" is, and two of them never heard of it, one said
"yeah, something to do with ghosts". Maybe it's only relevant to Buddhists?
Anyway, added for 2009 - black "中元节 Ghost Festival" on 3 september 2009

I think there are a lot more holidays that fall into that category ;)

> - The elders day / double nine day (Chongyanjie)
Ok, added: black "重阳节 (Double Ninth Day / Elders' Day)" on 26 october 2009


On a side note: The colours don't seem to get shown, at least not in my KDE
4.3.0 korganizer or calendar plasmoid - they are all marked in red.
