The basic calendar of the traditional lunar calendar

The lunar calendar, that is, the current traditional calendar in China, belongs to the yin-yang calendar, that is, the lunar calendar and the solar calendar. According to the change cycle of the moon phases, each moon phase changes to one month, taking the tropical year of the sun as the length of a year, and adding 24 solar terms and setting leap months to make the average calendar year adapt to the tropical year. The combination of lunar calendar and solar calendar in lunar calendar forms the method of combining yin and yang. Because of the use of "Xia Zheng", it was called Li Xia in ancient times.

The current lunar calendar was renamed as "Summer Calendar" after 1970. Calculated by Purple Mountain Observatory of China Academy of Sciences, the national standard "Compilation and Promulgation of Lunar Calendar" was promulgated in 20 17. Using the new calendar, the years are divided into flat year and leap year, flat year 12 months and leap year 13 months. Month is divided into big month and small month, with 30 days in big month and 29 days in small month, and the average calendar month is equal to the full moon.
