What is the China Gregorian calendar?

The yellow calendar, or imperial calendar, is based on the lunar calendar in China, and many calendars indicate the good or bad luck of this day.

According to legend, the Huangli calendar was created by Emperor Xuanyuan, so it is called the Huangli calendar, which is also commonly known as the "general book" among the people. However, because the word "book" and "lose" in Tongshu are homophonic, it is also called "Tong Sheng" because of taboo.

The main contents of the Gregorian calendar are the schedule of the twenty-four solar terms, the good and bad luck of each day, the luck of the zodiac and so on.
