    History & info - the Chinese calendar
    Explains what the lunar calendar is, how it began, and how festival dates are
    determined.

  • The Chinese Calendar Chinese New Year is the main holiday of the year for more than one quarter of the world's population

  • Although the People's Republic of China uses the Gregorian calendar for civil purposes, a special Chinese calendar is used for determining festivals

  • Various Chinese communities around the world also use this calendar

  • The beginnings of the Chinese calendar can be traced back to the 14th century B.C.E

  • Legend has it that the Emperor Huangdi invented the calendar in 2637 B.C.E

  • The Chinese calendar is based on exact astronomical observations of the longitude of the sun and the phases of the moon

  • This means that principles of modern science have had an impact on the Chinese calendar

  • What Does the Chinese Year Look Like? The Chinese calendar - like the Hebrew - is a combined solar/lunar calendar in that it strives to have its years coincide with the tropical year and its months coincide with the synodic months

  • It is not surprising that a few similarities exist between the Chinese and the Hebrew calendar: An ordinary year has 12 months, a leap year has 13 months
