Many people have misunderstandings about the Chinese lunar calendar (actually it should be called the Han calendar), and often confuse the lunar calendar with the lunar calendar.
There are three types of calendars in the world: one is the solar calendar, which takes the time it takes the earth to orbit the sun as one year, and the number of months and days in a month can be determined artificially; one is the lunar calendar, which takes the time it takes the moon to orbit the earth as one month, and only the number of months in a year can be determined artificially; the third is the lunisolar calendar, which takes the average time it takes the moon to orbit the earth as one month, but by setting a leap month, the average number of days in a year is equal to the average time it takes the earth to orbit the sun, such as China's Han calendar and Tibetan calendar.
Therefore, China's Han calendar is not a lunar calendar, but a lunisolar calendar.
The lunar and solar components of the Chinese calendar each have their own uses. The lunar calendar indicates the waxing and waning of the moon and can also predict the tides.
The lunar and solar calendar is more useful. The 24 solar terms are a major invention of ancient China. It indicates the position of the earth in its orbit and reflects the annual apparent motion of the sun. It is most suitable for guiding agricultural activities. Therefore, the traditional Chinese calendar, which is a combination of the lunar and solar calendars, is called the lunar calendar. Therefore, the lunar calendar is not the same as the lunar calendar, and it would be inappropriate to call the lunar calendar the lunar calendar.
The sun and the moon are calendars that people hang in the sky. Year after year, the earth revolves around the sun, and all things on earth live and multiply in the cycle of the sun and the moon.
