Which is the lunar calendar and which is the lunar calendar?

Usually there are two dates on the calendar. Generally, only the big characters that can be seen are written on the solar calendar. The following fine print needs to be read carefully by yourself. If you can only see one date, it is the solar calendar.

Lunar calendar is a traditional calendar in China, also called lunar calendar, which is different from solar calendar at first glance. Although it is called the lunar calendar, it is not a lunar calendar, but a combination of yin and yang. It is so called because it combines the trajectories of the sun and the moon, and it is the most commonly used method to accurately calculate the available time period in China agriculture, which is of great help to China agriculture.

The solar calendar is based on the tropic year of the four seasons, which has nothing to do with the change of the moon, and the number of days and months in each year is determined by people.
