Characteristics of the lunar calendar

The lunar calendar used in China was promulgated by Nanjing Purple Mountain Observatory and is customarily called Zijin Calendar. As far as the principle of calendar compilation is concerned, it continues the almanac thoughts of Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty and Shixian in the Qing Dynasty, but the prediction method has become a modern astronomical method. In terms of solar terms, several almanacs since the late Ming Dynasty have been continued. The Zijin Calendar was put into use in the 18th year of the Republic of China (1929) and has continued to this day. It was called the summer calendar at that time.
