The difference between the yellow calendar and the lunar calendar

Different definitions, different years, different months and so on.

1. Different definitions: Gregorian calendar is a calendar based on the sun. It takes the movement of the sun as the length of a year, and divides the year into 24 solar terms, each of which is separated by 15 days. Lunar calendar is a calendar based on the movement of the moon. According to the cycle of the moon, a year is divided into 12 months, and each month is marked by the change of the moon phase.

2. Different years: Gregorian calendar is based on Gregorian calendar year, that is, 65438+ 10/month 1 is the beginning of the new year. On the other hand, the Lunar New Year begins with the Spring Festival, and the starting and ending time of each year is different from the Gregorian calendar.

3. Different months: the months of the yellow calendar are based on the months of the Gregorian calendar, and the number of days in each month is also fixed. On the other hand, the months in the lunar calendar depend on the change of the lunar phase, and the number of days in each month is not fixed, usually 29 or 30 days, so the length of the months in the lunar calendar is changing.
