The lunar calendar is a traditional Chinese calendar, a time-keeping system deeply rooted in ancient Chinese astronomy and agriculture.

It is based on the cycles of the moon phases. According to Chinese lunar calendar, the crescent appears on the first day of each month and full moon comes out at the middle of the month.
From the middle of the month to the end of the month, it is the waning phase of the moon.
This cycle takes about 30 days.

The lunar calendar also sets 24 solar terms according to the position of the sun.

Year after year, people observe the world according to the lunar calendar and experience the mysteries and beauty of nature.
Since China has long been an agricultural society, and the lunar calendar can reflect the seasons, climate changes, and has important guiding significance for agricultural production, so the lunar calendar is still used today.
