Why is the origin of the names of the lunar calendar and the solar calendar a bit ridiculous?

Because the Gregorian calendar was originally called the Gregorian calendar, it later became the Gregorian calendar, so it is very funny. In fact, the so-called lunar calendar is our traditional calculation method, while the solar calendar is an international common name. Some major festivals in our country are basically calculated according to the lunar calendar, such as Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. Some festivals abroad are calculated according to the solar calendar, such as Halloween or Christmas. In ancient China, everyone calculated according to the lunar calendar, but later, in order to connect with the world, foreigners' algorithms were adopted. It was called "foreign calendar" at that time, and it became "solar calendar" over time.

In fact, farming pays the most attention to the calendar, because the crops planted all year round are different, and what kind of crops are suitable for planting in any season is very particular, so in ancient times, our ancestors had already worked out a set of calendars themselves, which is what we now call the lunar calendar. The earliest lunar calendar was also called the solar calendar by the ancients, because this calendar was calculated completely according to the law of sunrise or sunset.

The solar calendar mainly comes from Christianity. Now most western countries actually calculate according to the solar calendar. Generally, the difference between the solar calendar and the lunar calendar is about 50 to 65 days. Therefore, the Spring Festival in China is usually in February of the solar calendar. The biggest difference between the solar calendar and the lunar calendar is that the lunar calendar has leap months, but the solar calendar does not.

During the feudal rule of China, the lunar calendar was also called the imperial calendar. With the geological end of 19 12, the imperial calendar became the old one. Now people usually call the lunar calendar the lunar calendar. In fact, it is remarkable that our ancestors were able to calculate these calendars, which contained the wisdom of ancient people.
