Is fortune telling based on the lunar calendar or the solar calendar?

Fortune tellers in China tell fortunes according to the lunar calendar.

The lunar calendar is not a lunar or solar calendar, but a combination of yin and yang.

The month of the lunar calendar belongs to the lunar calendar, because the number of days in a month is set according to the cycle of the moon's orbit around the earth.

The year of the lunar calendar belongs to the solar calendar, because the average number of days in a year is set according to the cycle of the earth's orbit around the sun. And the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar are also solar calendars.

Fortune tellers usually think that beginning of spring is the beginning of the first month, the fright is the beginning of February, and Qingming is the beginning of March ... This is according to the solar calendar. Sometimes, we also mention the moon's profit and loss and the date of the lunar month, which is also based on the lunar calendar.

So, this is according to the lunar calendar.

The solar calendar mentioned above has nothing to do with the Gregorian calendar.
