What day is April 5, 2020?

Lunar calendar is a traditional calendar system in China, also called lunar calendar or old calendar, which is mainly used in East Asia such as China, Korean Peninsula and Viet Nam. It divides a year into 12 months according to the change of "moon phase". The first day of each month is called "New Moon" and the fifteenth day is called "Hope". Because it is marked by agricultural production and natural seasonal changes, it is called "Lunar Calendar". Unlike the Gregorian calendar, the year and month of the lunar calendar are floating, so the date of the lunar calendar will deviate from the Gregorian calendar every year.
