What does the Gregorian calendar mean?

The yellow calendar, or imperial calendar, is based on the lunar calendar in China, and many calendars indicate the good or bad luck of this day.

According to legend, the yellow calendar was created by Xuanyuan Huangdi, so it is called the yellow calendar. It came into being on the basis of the China lunar calendar, and is mainly used to guide farmers' farming season, so it is also called "lunar calendar". Its main contents are the schedule of the 24 solar terms, the good and bad luck of each day, the luck of the zodiac and so on.
