The influence of the lunar calendar
First of all, the lunar calendar plays a key role in agricultural production. As an agricultural country, China's agricultural production is greatly influenced by climate. The lunar calendar accurately reflects the seasonal changes and provides farmers with the best planting and harvesting time. This has enabled agricultural production to proceed in an orderly manner and made great contributions to the prosperity and stability of the country.
Secondly, the lunar calendar is also an important carrier of Chinese traditional festivals. Important festivals such as Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are calculated according to the lunar calendar. These festivals are a time for family reunion and friends gathering, and also a time to inherit and carry forward China culture. In these festivals, people express their thoughts for their families and good wishes for the future through various traditional customs such as enjoying the moon, eating moon cakes and pasting Spring Festival couplets.
