Why did the ancients distinguish the solar calendar from the lunar calendar?

Many people don't know the lunar calendar, solar calendar, lunar calendar and Gregorian calendar, so it's easy to get confused. Let me explain here that our lunar calendar is divided into lunar calendar and solar calendar, which originated in the period of the Yellow Emperor. The ancients distinguished the lunar calendar from the solar calendar in order to better observe the astronomical phenomena and guide daily farming, work and rest and life.

The Gregorian calendar used all over the world is also one of the Gregorian calendars, and there is also a name called "Gregorian calendar", which means the calendar transmitted from the west. The earliest western calendars were created by the ancient Egyptians and then improved by the Romans. With the strong rise of the Roman Empire, it influenced the whole world and was widely used by everyone.

The lunar calendar corresponds to the solar calendar and the lunar calendar corresponds to the solar calendar. This order cannot be confused. For convenience, you can remember that Gregorian calendar is fast time and lunar calendar is slow time. The Gregorian calendar was introduced from the west and officially implemented when the Republic of China was established. The lunar calendar is the crystallization of wealth and wisdom summed up by our ancestors for thousands of years. We can't ignore it.

Let's start with the lunar calendar. Many people mistakenly think that it is the lunar calendar, but it is not. It is not a pure lunar calendar, but a lunar calendar formed by combining the solar calendar with the "24 solar terms" of the dry calendar. This is a magical calendar summarized by the ancients by observing the changes of celestial bodies such as the sun and the moon. This is a great lunar calendar.

The lunar calendar is a calendar summed up by observing the tides and other activities of the moon. The time in the lunar calendar is less than that in the solar calendar every year 1 1 day. If it continues, we may welcome the Spring Festival in summer. In order to avoid this phenomenon, there is another "leap method" in the lunar calendar, which makes seven leap months appear every 19, which makes the lunar calendar more scientific. This also leads some people to celebrate the Lunar Birthday twice a month.

This calendar of combining Yin and Yang makes our farming and life more convenient, conforms to the natural world and is highly practical, which makes our farming experience far superior to other countries. It is not only a calendar, but also the accumulation of experience and wisdom of our people in China and the pride of our people in China.
