What does the lunar calendar mean?

China's traditional calendars also have names such as China calendar, Xia calendar, Zhong calendar and Lunar calendar. The lunar calendar is not a simple lunar calendar, but a combination of yin and yang. Taking the lunar month as the month length, plus the "24 solar terms" of the solar calendar, and referring to the length of the tropic year, the average calendar year is adapted to the tropic year by setting leap months.

The lunar calendar is based on the China calendar (lunar calendar) and combined with the solar calendar. So strictly speaking, the lunar calendar in China should not be called the lunar calendar, but the combined calendar of yin and yang.
