Is 65438+ 10 the first month or the twelfth month?

65438+ October is the first month.

65438+ 10 is the first day of the lunar new year, which is called the first day of the first month. The first month of the lunar calendar is usually called "the first month", not January. In ancient China, the first month of each year sometimes changed with the change of dynasties. Before the Han dynasty, the order of months often changed every time the dynasty changed.

There are two introductions in the first month:

1, the first month refers to the first month of the solar calendar:

The first month of the summer calendar is in Meng Chun, which is equivalent to the first month of the official calendar. The earliest first month was "December Construction". Therefore, the earliest January is the first month of the solar calendar, and the establishment of Yin in history began in the beginning of spring.

2. After the first lunar month:

Later, the relevant month of the lunar calendar was called the first month of the lunar calendar, and the first month of the official calendar was silver moon, including beginning of spring and rainfall in the 24 solar terms. The lunar month in which the main time of 15 or 16 days after beginning of spring is located is determined. If you come late, you should add a lunar month as a leap month in the year before the lunar calendar, otherwise it will not match.
