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

Whether a person's birthday is based on the lunar calendar or the solar calendar is based on personal preference. Some people celebrate their birthdays in the solar calendar and some people celebrate their birthdays in the lunar calendar. Birthdays are to commemorate the birth of mothers and celebrate the birth of children. This meaning will not change because this day is a lunar calendar or a solar calendar.

Generally speaking, in China, we pay more attention to the birthdays of the elderly. Every birthday is a family gathering, so in China, birthdays can be regarded as a family holiday. In China, in the past, only children and old people usually celebrated their birthdays. However, influenced by cultural exchanges, many people in China have westernized their views on birthdays. Different countries and cultural traditions have different definitions of this. Therefore, people in the East and the West often have different interpretations of birthdays. This is one of the remarkable features brought about by cultural differences.

Extended data:

For thousands of years, the method of recording birthdays in China is completely different from that in the West. China people's new year begins on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which means that after New Year's Eve, everyone will be one year older. Therefore, there is a certain age meaning in the meaning of "saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new" in the New Year. However, it is customary to use the lunar calendar for birthdays.

So from the Republic of China, everyone can have two birthdays, one in the lunar calendar and the other in the Gregorian calendar. Because the China Lunar Chronology Law is a revised monthly calendar, which is related to the moon period of revolution, the corresponding Gregorian calendar date is different every year. Generally speaking, in everyone's birthdays of 19, 38, 57, 76 and 95, there are always several times when the solar calendar and the lunar calendar coincide with the year of birth, but not everyone's 19 birthdays are on the same day as the solar calendar and the lunar calendar, but on the day before and after, and it is more likely that they will not overlap in their lives.
