Our current calendar is divided into which and which of these two folk traditional festivals are related to what?

China's current calendar:

One is the Gregorian calendar (also known as the Gregorian calendar, the terminology used by most countries internationally), which is a purely solar calendar.

One is the traditional Chinese calendar, now known as the Lunar Calendar, which is a lunisolar calendar.

Because the traditional Chinese calendar is a yin-yang combined calendar, there are traditional Chinese festivals, both in the yin part of the calendar and in the yang part of the calendar.

For example, the Dragon Boat Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Lantern Festival, the Chung Yeung Festival, and the Spring Festival (known as New Year's Day in ancient times) ------ are all related to the moon in the lunar calendar. Because each month in ancient times, is the time of the moon around the earth, and these festivals are fixed on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, August 15, the first month of the fifteenth day of the first month, the first nine days of September, the first day of the first month of the year. So all these festivals are related to the moon.

And like Qingming Festival, Spring Festival (in ancient times, Spring Festival was on the day of the first day of spring), Winter Festival (winter solstice), etc., they are the Yang Festival of the traditional Chinese calendar, which in the ancient traditional calendar, which is based on the date of the month, the days of the year are not fixed, but now in the calendar based on the Gregorian calendar, the days of the year are basically fixed! In the current Gregorian calendar, however, the dates are fixed on April 5th, March 21st, and December 22nd. These holidays are all related to the movement of the sun and belong to the solar part of the traditional calendar.

In addition to the traditional festivals of New Year's Day (the first day of the first month of the New Year, belonging to the lunar calendar), the Spring Festival (the Spring Festival, belonging to the solar calendar) is due to the country's choice of calendar reasons, the date of the change, the ancient New Year's Day, now become the solar year on January 1, and the ancient Spring Festival into the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar.
