Introduction to Tibetan calendar:

Before 1000 BC, Tibetans had their own calendar, and the days, months and years were calculated according to the moon's profit and loss. Hundreds of years later, Yongzhongben (the primitive religion in Tibet) can accurately calculate the time to return to the sun from the winter solstice, and take this as the beginning of the year, forming festivals and various ceremonies. Many customs and lifestyles of modern Tibetans have also been handed down from the ancient Xiangxiong era.

During the Tubo period in the 7th century A.D., two princesses, Wencheng and Jincheng, entered Tibet to marry and form an alliance, bringing the calendar of the mainland. The Almanac of Democratic Forest was published in 1 1 century, and the Almanac of Tibet in 1206 was called the Almanac of Sakya.

The time-wheel calendar, which began in 1027, has been circulating in Tibet for more than 1000 years, and comes from the astronomical knowledge in the time-wheel classics.

It is roughly the same as the 60-year calendar of the mainland lunar calendar. For example, the calendar of 20 16 years is called the Year of the Fire Monkey. However, the lunar calendar of the time round calendar takes the full moon as 15, and the first day may be the same day or a different day from the mainland lunar calendar, and the setting of leap months is also different. In a year with leap months, the difference between two first days is one month or one month plus one day.

The Tibetan calendar proved by the existing history books first appeared in the13rd century (Yuan Dynasty), and by the19th century, the compilation of the Tibetan calendar had been perfected.
