The difference between that yellow calendar and the peasant calendar

Gregorian calendar:

In ancient times, it was calculated and published by Qin Tian Jian, so it was also called the imperial calendar. According to legend, the yellow calendar was created by the yellow emperor, so it is called the yellow calendar. It is also called the farmer's calendar because it guides farmers' farming opportunities. Folk commonly known as the general book. However, because the word "book" and "lose" in Tongshu are homophonic, it is also called "Tong Sheng" because of taboo. The solar calendar is based on the lunar calendar in China, and there are many calendars indicating the good or bad of a day. The main contents of the Gregorian calendar are the schedule of the 24 solar terms, the good and bad luck of each day, and the luck of the zodiac.

Farmer calendar:

Peasant calendar, also known as lunar calendar, summer calendar, lunar calendar and old calendar, is one of the traditional calendars in China. The lunar calendar belongs to a kind of lunar calendar, and an average calendar month is equal to a new moon. However, the leap month is set to make the average calendar year a tropic year, and the 24 solar terms are set to reflect the changing characteristics of the seasons (the annual movement of the direct point of the sun), so there is also a solar calendar. Today, almost all Chinese in the world, as well as countries such as North Korea, South Korea, Vietnam and early Japan still use the lunar calendar to calculate traditional festivals such as Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival.
