The traditional calendar in our country is the lunar calendar. When did this begin to be implemented?

The traditional calendar used in China is the lunar calendar, and now the society is also using the solar calendar. China is one of the countries that use two calendars at the same time. In the past, many people in our country used to use the lunar calendar, also called the lunar calendar. Especially when people are born, they will habitually take the lunar calendar as their birthday.

The traditional calendar used in China, the lunar calendar, was implemented during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so it has been more than two thousand years. At present, many people think that the lunar calendar is the most scientific calendar in the world. In fact, the essence of the lunar calendar is a kind of lunar calendar, which is very different from the solar calendar. First of all, they are expressed in different ways. The lunar calendar is made by observing the moon. We know that the moon has a certain period. According to this cycle, a month is 29 days 12 hours and 44 minutes, so a year is 354 days, 8 hours and 48 minutes.

The solar calendar is based on the observation of the sun and the tropic of cancer in direct sunlight. A cycle is one year, so the time required is 365 days, 5 hours and 48 minutes. The solar calendar is the most widely used in modern society and also the most widely used. People all over the world are using the solar calendar.

Moreover, there is a special month in the lunar calendar, that is, leap month, because there will be a difference of 1 1 day between the solar calendar and the lunar calendar in a year. The ancients in China were very clever. They set up a leap month every two to three years to make up for the difference of 1 1 day. Therefore, in the ancient lunar calendar, besides the month, we can also look at the seasons. The 24 solar terms in China are also based on the lunar calendar.
