Today, world history can be roughly divided into three categories: solar calendar, lunar calendar and yin-yang calendar. The solar calendar determines the months and seasons according to the full moon and the lack of the moon, and each full moon is defined as a month. The solar calendar sets the year and season according to the cycle of the sun's movement.

The use of the October solar calendar of the Yi people in the late Qin Dynasty and the early Han Dynasty originated from the western Qiang civilization before the Xia Dynasty. It divides a year into ten months, and each month is divided into 36 days, regardless of the big month and the small month. Ten months later, it is called New Year's Day. The new year is at the end of the year, and the new year will begin in a few days. The usual New Year's Day is five days, the fourth year of each year, and the New Year's Day is six days. With this calendar, the number of days in a month is stable at 36 days, leap year is usually 365 days, and the average number of days in four years is 365.25 days, which is easy to remember and highly consistent with the regression value. This was completely scientific and practical in ancient times. This is the October solar calendar of the Yi people.
