The Lunar Calendar is a calendar of the dry calendar, and the seasons are used to guide agricultural production. The dry calendar is not divided into seasons, either by traditional customs or by official calendars (for details, see the Universal Perpetual Calendar compiled by the Zijinshan Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences).

Therefore, it is based on the solar month, not on the lunar month, which is different from the common calendar, which is based on the lunar year. In fact, in recent years, the widely circulated stem and branch of the year from the spring of the year, is the point of view of numerology, not a common folk practice.
