Lunar calendar or solar calendar?

Which is more accurate and reliable, the lunar calendar or the solar calendar? Who is more scientific, the lunar calendar or the Gregorian calendar?

Most people will definitely say that the Gregorian calendar is more scientific, because what we are using now is the Gregorian calendar, which is definitely the most scientific. The geography teacher will say that the Gregorian calendar is more scientific, because one revolution of the earth is a little over 365 days and 5 hours. The solar calendar stipulates that a year is 365 days, which is close, and the lunar calendar stipulates that it is 354 days, which is far away.

I said, you are wrong. Do you think the ancients in China couldn't figure out how many days there were in a year? This is not high-tech, just stick a bamboo pole on the ground and observe the sun shadow every day.

Why is the lunar calendar more scientific? Because the lunar calendar is more difficult to arrange than the solar calendar and contains more information than the solar calendar. The Gregorian calendar only needs to coordinate two periods. One is the rotation period of the earth, which determines how long a day is, and the other is the period of revolution of the earth, which determines how long a year is. In the Gregorian calendar, months don't mean much. In the lunar calendar, it has to coordinate three cycles, one is the earth's rotation cycle, the other is the earth's period of revolution, and the other is the moon's period of revolution around the earth.

What is the use of the period of revolution on the moon? This is very useful. The period of the moon's revolution determines the visibility at night. There were not so many lighting devices in ancient times. If there is no moon at night, it will be dark everywhere. Hunting, walking and fighting at night are closely related to the brightness of the moon.

Since the lunar coordinate is the cycle of the moon's revolution, you can know the visibility of that night by looking at the calendar. The first day is a new moon, the moon has only a ray of light, the fifteenth is hope, the moon is the roundest, and the thirtieth is gloomy and dark. Gregorian calendar doesn't have this function at all. For example, on March 2 1 day of the Gregorian calendar, did you know that there was how bright on the moon that night? Go to Baidu and see how long it will take.

There are also 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar, and the first solar term of each month is "solar term", namely, beginning of spring, Jing Zhe, Qingming, Changxia, Mangzhong, Xiaoshu, beginning of autumn, Bailu, Hanlu, beginning of winter, Heavy Snow, Xiaohan, etc. 12 solar terms; The second solar term of each month is "Zhongqi", that is, there are 12 solar terms such as rain, vernal equinox, Grain Rain, Xiaoman, summer solstice, great heat, intense heat, autumnal equinox, first frost, light snow, winter solstice and great cold. This is arranged according to the period of revolution of the earth, so you can know at a glance what the climate conditions were at that time, which is convenient for arranging farming.

And the Gregorian calendar, to be honest, can also see what day it is today, whether to go to work or not, and nothing else. Therefore, the lunar calendar is much more scientific than the Gregorian calendar and can completely replace the Gregorian calendar.

After reading this post, you should understand that our education for fools is not limited to humanities, and natural science has not escaped.

Whether a person's birthday is a lunar calendar or a solar calendar is generally based on the lunar calendar. The Gregorian calendar is generally used in society, and managers generally have birthdays and the like.

Which is more accurate, the birthday lunar calendar or the solar calendar? The Gregorian calendar is more accurate, because it takes the sun as a reference, and the date it represents coincides with the date of the twenty-four solar terms. The lunar time difference is nearly 1 month. If someone was born on July 25th in the Gregorian calendar, if they celebrate their birthdays on this day every year, then they have already spent their summer vacation. If there is no holiday in some years of the lunar calendar, it will be difficult to celebrate. If a person celebrates his birthday on the 29th day of the lunar calendar, it may happen once every two or three years, but the solar calendar generally does not. Unless you were born on February 29th, it will happen every four years.

Which is more accurate, the lunar calendar or the solar calendar? Lunar calendar is a traditional calendar in China, which has been used in China for a long time. It emphasizes the division of the 24 solar terms, which is of great guiding significance to agricultural production. Some people also call them summer calendars and lunar calendars. Before 19 12, this calendar was used as an official calendar in various dynasties in China. The real lunar calendar is the oldest calendar, and the Gregorian calendar used in * * * countries and regions is one of the lunar calendars. Both the lunar calendar and the lunar calendar are the existing chronological calendars in China. On many occasions, many people confuse the two and think that the lunar calendar is the lunar calendar and the lunar calendar is the lunar calendar. In fact, there is a big difference between the two. The main differences are as follows:

1, and their leading ideas are different.

Both the lunar calendar and the lunar calendar in China refer to the movement of the moon, and the number of days in each month is approximately equal to the change period of the moon phase-29.5306 days. In the arrangement of months, there are generally 30 days in the big month and 29 days in the small month. After two months, the average number of days in each month is 29.5 days, which is basically equivalent to the length of Wang Shuoyue. This is the homology of the two. Therefore, both of them can accurately reflect the profit and loss of the moon phase: the full moon in the middle of the month and the new moon at the beginning of the month. However, the solar terms in the China lunar calendar can also reflect the temperature changes in the four seasons, such as "May and June" and "Winter Month", indicating that May and June in the lunar calendar are the season when wheat is ripe and the temperature is high. "twelfth lunar month" is the middle of winter with low temperature; February and March, and July and August are the transitional seasons of temperature. Because the time period in the 24 solar terms is determined by the position of the sun on the orbit of revolution, which is the ecliptic. Therefore, the lunar calendar in China has some characteristics of the solar calendar, which can be used to guide agricultural time and arrange crop rotation. The lunar calendar, which is often said, can only reflect the change of the moon phase, but not the change of temperature, so it is a pure "lunar calendar" and cannot guide agricultural activities.

2. The arrangement for the first month is different.

The China lunar calendar sets the day when the sun and the moon meet at the beginning of the month, that is, the first day. Pingshuo was used before the Tang Dynasty, but it was changed to Dingshuo in the early Tang Dynasty, that is, the first day was set on the true Shuori, and there was definitely no "moon" that night. The first day of the lunar calendar used in the solar calendar is based on the new moon, that is, after the sun meets the moon, it is equivalent to the second or third day of the lunar calendar, and the "new moon" can be seen that night.

3. The "year" of the two is different.

The Chinese lunar calendar adopts the appropriate principle of "leap", so that the approximate length of the average calendar year is equal to the length of the tropic year (365.2422 days). Therefore, the lunar year is basically synchronized with the solar year, but the lunar year is only a simple accumulation of 12 lunar months, with a length of 29.5 × 12 = 354 days, which is about 165438+ with the solar year. Therefore, after the length is accumulated, there will be an inversion between the month and the cold and heat. The Lunar New Year is usually in winter, but it may come in summer.

4, the use of different regions

China lunar calendar is widely used in China and Southeast Asia, because it can reflect the alternation of cold and summer and the change of moon phase, so it is widely used in mid-latitude areas of the northern hemisphere, especially in China. However, the use of the lunar calendar is mainly limited to * * * countries, and it is only used when celebrating religious festivals.

In a word, the lunar calendar in China contains much richer geographical significance, which is a kind of lunar calendar and different from the lunar calendar. China people are fatalists, who think that the lunar calendar is accurate (birthdays and constellations are based on the lunar calendar), while westerners are materialists, so they think that the solar calendar is accurate (constellations and festivals are based on the solar calendar).

Which is more accurate, scientific and credible, the lunar calendar or the Gregorian calendar? The solar calendar, also called the Gregorian calendar, comes from the west. For example, when calculating the constellation, it is calculated according to the solar calendar (Gregorian calendar).

The lunar calendar, also called the lunar calendar, comes from China.

For example, the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Chinese Valentine's Day and Spring Festival are all counted according to the lunar calendar. New Year's Day, Valentine's Day (2. 14), Christmas, National Day, Army Day and the birthday of the Party are all calculated according to the Gregorian calendar.

Their main difference is that the solar calendar is international, while the lunar calendar is unique to China.

The solar calendar takes one year for the earth to make a circle around the sun. A total of 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 minutes. An average year is only an integer of 365 days, not a mantissa. The solar calendar is divided into 12 months, 3 1 day for the big month, 30 days for the small month, and only 28 days in February. It is also stipulated that before July, a single month is a big month and a double month is a small month; After August, two months are big months and one month is small months. The remaining 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds each year, there is only one day in about four years, and this day is added in February of the fourth year. This year is called leap year, so February in leap year has 29 days.

In the lunar calendar, the moon wanes once a month for 29 and a half days. For the convenience of calculation, the big moon is customized for 30 days and the small moon is customized for 29 days. During the period of 65438+mid-February of a year, generally, large and small months are arranged alternately. There are about 365 days in the lunar calendar year, and there is no difference between a normal year and a leap year. The lunar calendar does not consider the movement of the earth around the sun, so the changes of the four seasons in the lunar calendar have no fixed time and cannot reflect the seasons, which is a great shortcoming. In order to overcome this shortcoming, people later decided on a new calendar, which is the so-called yin-yang desk calendar. The summer calendar (also called lunar calendar or lunar calendar) still in use in China is this kind of lunar calendar. Like the lunar calendar, it customizes a month according to the time when the moon wanes, that is, 30 days in the big month and 29 days in the small month, but it also adopts the method of adding leap months to make the average number of days in a year close to that in the solar calendar to adjust the four seasons. The lunar calendar has a leap month every two or three years.

Is the birthday accurate in the solar calendar or the lunar calendar? 1. Gregorian birthday is more accurate. This is because the Gregorian calendar is twelve months every year, and there is no such thing as a leap month. But there are leap months in the lunar calendar, so there are three years and thirteen months every eight years, and there are twelve months in a year in general. In this case, according to the lunar calendar, there is actually a difference of several days between last year and next year. Especially for people born in leap month, should the lunar birthday be celebrated in leap month year or one month before leap month? It's a very tangled problem. For example, if you were born on the first day of leap May, should you wait until leap May finally appears to celebrate your birthday? Or do you celebrate your birthday on May 1st every year? But if the birthday is celebrated in the solar calendar, this year is May 1 day, next year is May 1 day, and every year is May 1 day, there will be no such problem.

2. No matter the date of birth recorded in the lunar calendar or the solar calendar, as long as you know which calendar it is, some friends will think that the date of birth depends on the time of the lunar calendar and the constellation depends on the time of the solar calendar. There is a big difference between the two, there is nothing wrong. In fact, whether it's a birthday prediction or a constellation prediction, as long as you know your date of birth and whether it's the lunar calendar or the solar calendar. After that, you can find the time of the year through the perpetual calendar, and you can determine your date of birth or constellation after conversion. This is naturally easy for professionals. Now with the popularity of the Internet, this seemingly professional problem can be solved directly through some software on the Internet.

Third, whether to celebrate the lunar birthday or the solar birthday can be decided according to preferences. Some friends may say, in order to be accurate, should we celebrate the birthday of the solar calendar? It doesn't need to be too deliberate. Birthdays are to commemorate the birth of mothers and celebrate the birth of children. This meaning will not change because this day is a lunar calendar or a solar calendar. So there is no need to celebrate your birthday in the solar calendar or the lunar calendar. Especially for the elderly, they are used to celebrating their birthdays in the lunar calendar, and there is no need to celebrate their birthdays in the solar calendar.

What date is the constellation based on? Lunar calendar or solar calendar? Constellations are queried according to the date of birth in the solar calendar. You have to convert the date of birth into the solar calendar time, which means that your constellation is queried according to the solar calendar date of the year in which you were born. No matter how the solar calendar time changes in the future, your constellation will not change. Sun constellation, the core monument of life, query date list Aquarius: people born between 065438+1October 21-February 19 in Gregorian calendar.

Pisces: People born between February 20th and March 20th in the solar calendar.

Aries: People born between March 2 1 and April 20 in the solar calendar.

Taurus: People born between April 2 1 and May 2 1 in the solar calendar.

Gemini: People born between May 22nd and June 2nd1in Gregorian calendar.

Cancer: People born between June 22nd and July 22nd in the solar calendar.

Leo: People born between July 23rd and August 23rd in the solar calendar.

Virgo: A person born between August 24th and September 23rd in the solar calendar.

Libra: People born between September 24th and1October 23rd in Gregorian calendar.

Scorpio: People born between 65438+1October 24th-165438+1October 22nd.

Sagittarius: People born between the solar calendar165438+1October 23rd-65438+February 2nd1.

Capricorn: People born between 65438+February 22nd-065438+1October 20th in the solar calendar.

Which is more accurate, the lunar calendar or the solar calendar? The solar calendar, also called the Gregorian calendar, comes from the west. For example, when calculating the constellation, it is calculated according to the solar calendar (Gregorian calendar).

The lunar calendar, also called the lunar calendar, comes from China.

For example, the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Chinese Valentine's Day and Spring Festival are all counted according to the lunar calendar. New Year's Day, Valentine's Day (2. 14), Christmas, National Day, Army Day and the birthday of the Party are all calculated according to the Gregorian calendar.

The lunar calendar has a leap month every two or three years.

Should the five elements and eight characters be based on the Gregorian calendar? Or the lunar calendar? Change the solar calendar into the lunar calendar and look at the eight characters.
