Chinese Lunisolar Calendar

A traditional East Asian calendar combining lunar months with solar terms to align the year with agricultural seasons. The calendar uses a 60-year cycle based on the interaction of 12 zodiac animals and 5 elements, making each year unique. Chinese New Year, the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Dragon Boat Festival are all determined by this calendar.
