Are the twelve constellations based on the lunar calendar or the Gregorian calendar?

The twelve constellations are birthdays according to the Gregorian calendar.

The solar calendar takes one year as the time for the earth to go around the sun. Its length is 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds. Because it is not an integer, in order to balance the length, some years are 366 days, called "leap year"; Some years are 365 days and are called "average years".

The lunar calendar is based on the cycle of the moon, which is the new moon. The main feature of the lunar calendar is that the length of the calendar month is determined according to the astronomical phenomena, that is, the phase of the moon, with the big moon on the 30th and the small moon on the 29th.

The twelve constellations were introduced into China from the west, belonging to western culture, and are calculated by the solar calendar (the internationally recognized Gregorian calendar).
