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.
