Is birthday according to the lunar calendar or the solar calendar?

Traditionally, birthdays should be celebrated in the lunar calendar, but now most birthdays are celebrated in the solar calendar.

In fact, before western culture entered China, people's birthdays in China were always calculated according to the lunar calendar, because in traditional China culture, the New Year began on the first day of the lunar calendar, which means that everyone will grow one year after the New Year. However, since the Republic of China, the government of the Republic of China has adopted the Gregorian calendar as the national calendar, which leads to two birthdays for everyone, one is the traditional Chinese birthday, and the other is the Gregorian birthday.

In recent years, with the opening of the times, various western cultures have been introduced into China, which makes more and more young people follow the trend and follow foreigners in everything. It is also under the wanton abuse of western culture that family conflicts break out one after another. Influenced by traditional ideas, the elders in the family think that children should celebrate their birthdays in the lunar calendar, but young parents feel that their daily life is calculated according to the Gregorian calendar, and it is difficult to remember if they celebrate their birthdays in the lunar calendar.

In fact, we don't have to worry too much about the choice of birthday. Anyway, overdoing it is a kind of happiness. However, it should be noted that everyone's birthday habits are different, so when you surprise others, you must first ask others whether to celebrate their birthdays in the lunar calendar or the solar calendar.

The difference between solar calendar and lunar calendar:

1, Gregorian calendar, which is a common calendar method in the world now, also called "solar calendar" and "new calendar". It was invented by the Romans. They calculate according to the time that the earth goes around the sun once, and a month is about 30 days or 3 1 day. According to the recording method of the solar calendar, we can clearly feel the obvious temperature and warmth changes throughout the year. This method of chronology was not used in China until after the Revolution of 1911, so people in China also called it the "new calendar".

2. Lunar calendar is a traditional chronology method in China, also known as "ancient calendar", "yellow calendar" and "old calendar". It is calculated according to the law of the moon's revolution around the earth, that is, according to the ups and downs of the moon we see. Generally, a month is 29 or 30 days. People usually say the first day of a month, such as the tenth day of the first month.
