mimosa08/28/02 at 21:54:02#1Lunar calendar is NOT correct. The Chinese calendar is Not a lunar calendar, it's precisely called the Solar-Lunar Calendar. The system is calculated based on the position of both the sun and the moon. Besides Solar-Lunar Calendar, it is also referred to as the Chinese Agricultural Calendar (¹A¥Á¾ú). The lunar calendar was originated in India, then it was spread to the Arabian worlds. It's system was calculated solely on the position of the moon and so it is different from our Chinese Agricultural Calendar.

I think that I will standardize the term to be (case-senstive)
Chinese lunar calendar, solar-lunar calendar, Chinese agricultural calendar
order shows the preference

instead of molding yourself to the calender, have the calendar mold to you...
