Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional festival in China. Why do you have a holiday according to the new calendar instead of the lunar calendar?

The lunar calendar, also known as the lunar calendar, is a traditional method of calculating dates in China. In fact, there are many traditional festivals in the China lunar calendar based on the time of the lunar calendar. Although Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional festival in China, there is a custom of sweeping graves all over the world, so it is placed in the new calendar instead of the lunar calendar.

Although Tomb-Sweeping Day and Qingming have the same meaning, there are still differences. The reason why the legal holiday time is in accordance with the Gregorian calendar, that is, the new calendar, is because we are fulfilling the world standards. The lunar calendar is a tradition in China, so we can't lose it, so both calendars are used normally. We should understand that the new calendar was created to commemorate a great man, that is, Jesus Christ in Christianity.

All calendars are divided into BC and AD, because the year zero, that is, the day of the first year of AD, is the day when Jesus Christ was born. So from that day on, people implemented the method of calculating dates in the new calendar, and every country in the world followed the new calendar. Of course, we in China can't be too old-fashioned and conservative, because we want to be in line with the world, from which we can see how much influence Christianity has on the world.

Although most statutory festivals rely on the new calendar, most traditional festivals in China still rely on the lunar calendar, such as Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and our biggest festival, Spring Festival. In addition, in fact, every country has its own lunar calendar.
