Are the lunar calendar and the lunar calendar the same day?

Lunar calendar and lunar calendar are not on the same day.

Lunar calendar and lunar calendar are not the same thing. Modern people generally refer to the lunar calendar as the lunar calendar. In fact, they are not the same. The traditional calendar we often use is actually a combination of lunar calendar and lunar calendar. Lunar calendar is one of the traditional calendars in China, also known as lunar calendar, ancient calendar, Han calendar, yellow calendar, summer calendar and old calendar. The lunar calendar, also called the lunar calendar, is based on the law that the moon revolves around the earth.

Because China's lunar calendar is not simply calculated according to the operating law of the moon, but a mixed calendar of Yin and Yang, that is, the length of each lunar month is determined according to the profit and loss of the moon phase, and the length of each tropic year is determined according to the apparent movement period of the sun, and the months are adjusted by leaps every year. Calendars in China since ancient times are a combination of yin and yang, commonly known as the "lunar calendar".

Nowadays, many people are confused about China calendar and lunar calendar. In fact, the difference between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar is about eleven days a year. According to the lunar calendar, within five years, it will take place in summer to celebrate the Spring Festival. In order to avoid this situation, "leap method" came into being. Every 19 year has 7 leap months, and a year with leap months has 383 or 384 days, which is called leap year.

In the process of calendar development and evolution, the emergence of 24 solar terms was used to guide agricultural production scientifically, and the lunar calendar (Han calendar) was formed. Although the lunar calendar and lunar calendar are commonly known as ancient calendar, Han calendar, summer calendar and old calendar, there are still differences between lunar calendar and lunar calendar (Han calendar). The traditional summer calendar (Han calendar) is actually a kind of yin-yang calendar. However, except Tomb-Sweeping Day, other traditional festivals in China are set according to the lunar calendar.
