Tool Introduction

"Lunar-Solar Calendar Converter" is an efficient and convenient online date conversion tool designed to help users quickly and accurately convert between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar. Whether you want to know the lunar date corresponding to a specific solar date, or find the solar date corresponding to a lunar festival, this tool can easily meet your needs. It provides a concise input interface (`lunarsolarinput`), where users only need to enter any date format, and the powerful backend computing engine (`getLunarSolarDay`) will quickly provide accurate conversion results, displayed in a clear list format (`resultType: "list"`) showing both lunar and solar dates.

How to Use

In the date input box on the page, enter the date you need to convert. You can enter a solar date (e.g., "2023-01-22", "2023/1/22", "January 22, 2023") or a lunar date (e.g., "Lunar January 1, 2023", "2023 Lunar January 1"). This tool will automatically identify the type of date you entered.
Click the "Convert" button (or press Enter), and the system will immediately perform the date calculation.
The conversion results will be displayed at the bottom of the page, clearly showing the corresponding "Lunar Calendar" and "Solar Calendar" dates in a list format.

Lunar and Solar Calendar Knowledge Popularization

The lunar calendar, solar calendar, and agricultural calendar are important timekeeping systems in Chinese culture. The solar calendar, also known as the Gregorian calendar, is the universally used calendar, with a year based on the Earth's revolution around the sun, accurately reflecting seasonal changes. The lunar calendar, on the other hand, is based on the moon's periodic changes, where one synodic month is one month, mainly used for calculating tides and religious festivals.

The "agricultural calendar" (农历) that we commonly refer to is actually a "lunisolar calendar." It considers both the phases of the moon (lunar calendar feature) and coordinates with the Earth's revolution around the sun (solar calendar feature) by setting "leap months" to ensure that the total number of days in a lunar year is basically synchronized with the solar year. This ensures that agricultural solar terms align with the months, hence the name "agricultural calendar." This ingenious design allows the agricultural calendar to not only have moon phase indication functions but also accurately reflect seasonal changes, which has profound significance for guiding agricultural production, traditional festivals, and daily life.
