Is the yellow calendar the lunar calendar?

Lunar calendar.

The lunar calendar is a traditional calendar in China, also called Xia calendar, Hua calendar, Han calendar and Zhong calendar. The lunar calendar is not a simple lunar calendar, but a combination of yin and yang. It takes the change period of the moon phase, that is, the length of the lunar month, plus the "twenty-four solar terms" component of the calendar, and refers to the length of the tropical year of the sun. By setting leap months, the average calendar year adapts to the tropic year. Therefore, the lunar calendar is a calendar based on the summer calendar and integrated with the solar calendar.
