The new calendar is a universal calendar all over the world. The lunar calendar is a calendar used by successive dynasties in China, which began in the Xia Dynasty, so it is called the lunar calendar, and has been constantly revised by successive dynasties. Later, with the addition of 24 solar terms, it became a calendar of yin and yang.

The new calendar is 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds long. Sometimes a year is 366 days, which is called "leap year", and some years are 365 days, which is called "normal year". The lunar year is about 355 days, which is about 1 1 day different from the new calendar.

The new calendar takes the earth's orbit around the sun as a year, and the lunar calendar takes the moon's orbit around the earth as January.

Extended data:

The lunar calendar is called Xia calendar, Han calendar and Hua calendar, which is one of the traditional calendars in China. The main calendar rules have been gradually improved and formed through many dynasties, and their forms have continued to this day. The lunar calendar belongs to a kind of lunar calendar: its years are divided into flat years and leap years. An average year is twelve months; A leap year is thirteen months. A month is divided into a big month and a small month, with 30 days in the big month and 29 days in the small month, and its average calendar month is equal to the full moon. Which month is older and which month is younger in a year is determined by calculation.

According to the position of the sun, the lunar calendar divides a year into 24 solar terms to reflect the changes of seasons and guide agriculture and other things. Therefore, the lunar calendar has both lunar and solar elements.

The leap rule takes the winter solstice as the calculation starting point, from the calendar month of winter solstice in A year to the calendar month of winter solstice in B year (excluding). If there are only twelve moons, it is set as a normal year and there is no leap year. If there are thirteen new months, the first calendar month without neutral gas will be set as leap month, which is called leap month, counting from the calendar month in which the winter solstice of the first year is located.
