Lunar calendar is a traditional calendar in China, which is a combination of yin and yang. It takes the change period of the moon phase as the length of a month and the return year of the sun as the length of a year. By setting leap months, the average calendar year is adapted to the tropic year, instead of just taking the time of the earth's rotation as one year.

The lunar calendar consists of twelve elements, including rain, vernal equinox, Grain Rain, Xiaoman, Summer Solstice, Great Summer, Early Summer, Autumn Equinox, First Frost, Light Snow, Winter Solstice and Great Cold. The lunar calendar is divided into four seasons and twenty-four solar terms, and the fourth solar term-spring is divided into the beginning of a year. The calendar month of the lunar calendar is based on the first month of the lunar calendar and lasts for 29 or 30 days, that is, one month of the lunar calendar.
