Is the lunar calendar or the solar calendar in China?

The lunar calendar in China is the lunar calendar. The lunar calendar is a traditional calendar in China, with Chinese calendar, summer calendar and Chinese calendar. The lunar calendar takes the change cycle of the moon phase, that is, the length of the moon is one month, plus the "24 solar terms" of the elephant calendar, and takes the length of the tropical year of the sun as the year. By setting leap months, the average calendar year adapts to the tropic year.

In fact, strictly speaking, the lunar calendar is not a lunar calendar or a solar calendar, but a lunar calendar. Therefore, as for whether the lunar calendar refers to the lunar calendar or the solar calendar, it can only be said that everyone is used to calling it the lunar calendar, but the essence is the lunar calendar.

Introduction to the use of the lunar calendar.

Lunar calendar is a calendar used in parallel with Gregorian calendar in China at present. People are used to calling it the lunar calendar, but it is actually a kind of lunar calendar, that is, the summer calendar, not the real lunar calendar. Because the twenty-four solar terms are of great significance to agricultural production, people often refer to the summer calendar as the lunar calendar, but the twenty-four solar terms are determined according to the position of the sun on the ecliptic and belong to the solar calendar. Up to now, almost all Chinese in the world, as well as North Korea, South Korea, Vietnam and other countries and early Japan still use the lunar calendar to calculate traditional festivals.
