Are the twelve constellations based on the lunar calendar or the Gregorian calendar?

The twelve constellations are based on the birthday of the Gregorian calendar.

The solar calendar takes one year as the time for the earth to go around the sun. Its length is 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds. Because it is not an integer, in order to balance the length, some years are 366 days, called "leap year"; Some years are 365 days and are called "average years".

The lunar calendar is based on the cycle of the moon, which is the new moon. The main characteristics of the lunar calendar are: the length of the calendar month is determined according to the astronomical phenomena, that is, the moon phase, with the big month on the 30th and the small month on the 29th.

The twelve constellations spread from the west to China, belonging to western culture, and calculated by the solar calendar (the world-recognized Gregorian calendar).
