Its earliest origin can be traced back to ancient Egypt and ancient Babylonian civilization. In ancient times, people made various calendars according to the astronomical phenomena, such as yin and yang calendars, solar calendars and monthly calendars. Among them, the solar calendar is the most widely used calendar form at present.

In China, the Xia Dynasty had a solar calendar, and after continuous improvement and perfection, it formed a calendar system with China characteristics, including the lunar calendar, the lunar calendar and the zodiac. Now, the lunar calendar and the Gregorian calendar are used equally in China, and people will use them in festivals, sacrifices and company management.
