*the traditional chinese calendar is a ‘luni-solar calendar’ which reckons [‘years’ / ‘months’ / ‘days’] according to ‘astronomical phenomena’*
.
(it is used for traditional activities in ‘china’ + ‘overseas chinese communities’)
.
(it determines the dates of ‘traditional chinese holidays’, and guides chinese people in selecting the ‘luckiest days’ for ‘weddings’, ‘funerals’, ‘moving’, or beginning a ‘business’)
(in the ‘chinese calendar’, the days begin and end at ‘midnight’)
(the months begin on the day with the ‘dark’ (or ‘new’) moon)
(the years begin with the ‘dark moon’ near the midpoint between ‘winter solstice’ and ‘spring equinox’)
(the ‘solar terms’ are the most important components of the ‘chinese calendar’)
(there are 1 to 3 ‘solar terms’ within a ‘month’)
(the ‘present traditional chinese calendar’ is the product of centuries of ‘evolution’)
(many ‘astronomical’ and ‘seasonal’ factors were added by ‘ancient scientists’, and people can reckon the date of ‘natural phenomena’ such as the ‘moon phase’ and ‘tide’ upon the ‘chinese calendar’)
(the ‘chinese calendar’ has over 100 variants, whose characteristics reflect the calendar’s ‘evolutionary path’)
(as with ‘chinese characters’, different variants are used in different parts of the ‘chinese cultural sphere’)
(in ‘korea’, ‘vietnam’, and the ‘ryukyu islands’, the ‘chinese calendar’ was adopted completely)
(in ‘japan’, the ‘chinese calendar’ was used before the ‘edo period’, and the later ‘japanese calendar’ used the algorithm of the ‘chinese calendar’)
(the official calendar in ‘china’ is the ‘gregorian calendar’, but the traditional chinese calendar still plays an important role there)
.
(the ‘chinese calendar’ is known officially as
the Farming Calendar
(traditional chinese: 農曆;
simplified chinese: 农历;
pinyin: Nónglì),
but is often referred to by other names, such as
the Former Calendar (traditional Chinese: 舊曆; simplified Chinese: 旧历; pinyin: Jiùlì), the Traditional Calendar (traditional Chinese: 老曆; simplified Chinese: 老历; pinyin: Lǎolì), or the Lunar Calendar (traditional Chinese: 陰曆;
simplified Chinese: 阴历;
pinyin: yīnlì)
