How many days are there in the lunar calendar year?

The average lunar year is 354.3672 days. Therefore, the average number of days in a year is consistent with the number of days in the tropic of cancer. Therefore, this calendar conforms to both the moon and the periodic movement of the earth around the sun.

The lunar calendar is based on the lunar calendar (summer calendar) and the solar calendar, combining yin and yang. Taking the change period of the moon phase as the length of the month, plus the "24 solar terms" component of the dry calendar, and referring to the length of the tropical year of the sun as the year, the average calendar year is adapted to the tropical year by setting leap months. Therefore, the lunar calendar has both lunar and solar elements.
