To be precise, this calendar should be called the Chinese lunar calendar. The Chinese lunar calendar is currently the most scientific calendar in the world. Its essence is neither a pure lunar calendar nor a pure solar calendar, but a combined lunar and solar calendar.

The Chinese lunar calendar generally adopts the method of setting seven leaps every 19 years, which successfully takes into account the visual cycles of the sun and the moon. The law is therefore a luni-solar calendar. Currently, the only such calendar in the world that is formulated and implemented by official governments for a long time is the Chinese lunar calendar. The Chinese lunar calendar was shaped by the Taichu calendar of the Western Han Dynasty, which was derived from the Zhuanxu calendar used by the Qin Dynasty. The Chinese lunar calendar has been improved many times in later generations, mainly related to the setting of solar terms and the insertion of leap months, but the basic idea has not changed.
The first month of the lunar calendar is usually around the beginning of spring. The modern Beginning of Spring is the day when the sun reaches 315 degrees longitude. However, the moon phase changes in the monthly cycle of this day every year are inconsistent, so the interval between the first day of the first lunar month and the Beginning of Spring in each lunar year is different. Fixed.
