Is Qingming Festival on the Gregorian calendar or the lunar calendar? How to determine the date of Qingming Festival?

Qingming Festival is a solar calendar date in the Gregorian calendar, fixed between April 4 and April 6 of the Gregorian calendar every year. The earth revolves around the sun once in 360 degrees of ecliptic longitude. When the earth reaches zero degrees of ecliptic longitude, it is the vernal equinox. Thereafter, there is a solar term every 15 degrees, for a total of 24 solar terms. Therefore, the dates of the solar terms in the Gregorian calendar are fixed, and due to leap years, they may differ by a maximum of two days. From an astronomical perspective, when the apparent sun (the apparent sun is the position of the sun on the ecliptic) reaches 15 degrees of ecliptic longitude on April 5 or 6, it can be designated as Qingming Festival.
