    no, 259 lunisolar calendar.

    ? Develop a new calendar based on the sun?  Li Chunfeng was a little puzzled. It was said that he was quite accustomed to using the current calendar. Why did Huang Junming suddenly think of formulating a new calendar based on the sun?  This made Li Chunfeng a little puzzled.

    "Master Immortal, why do you think of using the sun to make a new calendar?" Li Chunfeng asked Huang Junming doubtfully.

    "It is said that if there is yin, there must be yang. Isn't it the lunar calendar we practice? From a poor perspective, this lunar calendar is based on the lunar calendar, so it can be regarded as a lunar calendar. If this is the case, can it be formulated based on the sun?  Where is the Gregorian calendar?" Huang Junming thought that what he said was very accurate, and said to Li Chunfeng in a "comprehensive" manner.

    "Haha, Immortal Master, don't you understand this?" Li Chunfeng finally understood what Huang Junming wanted, and he laughed unconsciously, and then explained: "Immortal Master, our lunar calendar is not  That’s the lunar calendar, you’ve got it wrong!”

    Huang Junming was a little puzzled when he heard what Li Chunfeng said. It is a well-known fact to modern people that the lunar calendar is the lunar calendar.  The lunar calendar is a calendar based on the changes of the moon, so it is called the lunar calendar.  Why does Li Chunfeng say that the lunar calendar is not the lunar calendar?

    "Chunfeng, please tell Pindao, where did Pindao understand it wrong?" Huang Junming is not the kind of person who insists on having his own way.  He's not a sage.  Of course I can listen to the reasons.

    "Master Immortal, what we call the lunar calendar is not the lunar calendar, but the lunisolar calendar. It includes both the lunar calendar and the sun. Haven't you noticed, Master Immortal?" Li Chunfeng suggested.

    "Listen to what you said, Pindao really didn't notice much. Come, come, come. Chunfeng, sit down. Quickly tell Pindao a lesson." Huang Junming's interest was suddenly aroused.  Perhaps, as modern people, we have really misinterpreted many things passed down by the ancients.  Until the topic that the lunar calendar is equal to the lunar calendar is deeply rooted in everyone's mind, I am afraid that few people know the meaning of this ancient time.  And Huang Junming had the opportunity to hear the answer before it was misinterpreted.

    Li Chunfeng really didn’t take this seriously at first.  In his eyes, the lunar calendar and the lunar calendar are not the same, and the lunar calendar is a lunisolar calendar. Even if Huang Junming was a little confused and didn't remember it at the time, he should have realized it now.  But looking at Huang Junming's current state, he really doesn't seem to know.  This calendar thing is not a secret. Although Li Chunfeng didn't understand it, he still explained it.  "As early as the Huangdi era, our ancestors began to study the calendar. At that time, the emphasis was on guessing the sun. In the later Emperor Yao period, the method of setting leaps appeared. There is a very clear record in "Shang Shu. Yao Dian"  . Emperor Yao ordered Xihe, the official who observed the sky at that time, to "look like the sky, and the calendar resembles the sun, moon and stars. Respectfully teach people the time." "The star bird in the sun is in the middle of Yin Zhongchun" "The sun is everlasting in the star fire, in the middle of summer" "The night"  The middle star is empty, and it is in Zhongqiu of the Yin Dynasty. "The sun is short and the stars are high, and it is in the middle of winter." The emperor said: "Consult you and Xiji He. There are sixty days in the period of three hundred and six days, and the leap month determines the four o'clock to become a year." So it is said that since then  Since then, the calendar we use has been the lunisolar calendar."

    Huang Junming has never studied Shangshu.  In Huang Junming's heart, this book, a complete Confucian classic, would be more comfortable than reading a few Taoist scriptures if he had time.  Unexpectedly, this lunar calendar is really a lunisolar calendar.  Huang Junming was originally a Taoist priest, and his foundation in classical Chinese was much better than ordinary people in modern times. However, after arriving in the Tang Dynasty, he did not have the opportunity to "read" vernacular Chinese.  The understanding of ancient Chinese can be said to be further advanced.

    The two words "Rizhong" and "Zhongchun" refer to the equinox of day and night, while "Riyong" and "Zhongxia" refer to the longest day at the summer solstice.  "Short days" and "midwinter" also refer to the shortest days during the winter solstice.  However, these understandings are all based on the position of the direct point of the sun's rays on the earth.  Therefore, this solar term can be called the solar calendar.  When the ancients understood these solar terms, they basically taught people the time.  What is even more surprising is that the ancients discovered that there is an extra day every four years.  Therefore, every time there are 366 days in a year, a leap month is prepared to eliminate the time difference, and this day is mostly added to these solar terms.  This resulted in a new calendar, and after combining with the lunar calendar, it became the lunar calendar.  Therefore, it is true to say that this lunar calendar is a lunisolar calendar.

    You must know that although the ancient Chinese calendar has changed again and again, it has gradually changed from simple to more full and practical.  Just like the earliest four orders, and the later twelve orders.  and the twenty-four solar terms that have been passed down to modern times.  These are all manifestations of the Gregorian calendar in the Chinese calendar.  The role of the lunar calendar is to determine the day.  The solar calendar is in charge of farming and civil affairs, and the lunar calendar is in charge of recording days.  The two are interconnected.  There is some distance between them.  It can be said to be a pretty perfect calendar.  After Huang Junming figured it out, he began to wonder again why the lunar calendar was so good.  Why was it replaced by the Western Gregorian calendar in modern times?

      At least Huang Junming can be convinced.  Now in the first year of Zhenguan, except for the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that there is no complete and good calendar in the world. You must know that the Gregorian calendar used now is only the answer that was perfected after Europe entered the papal era and the telescope and heliocentric theory gradually formed.  This time, perfection.  None of them are as valuable as the current lunar calendar. Huang Junming really doesn't understand why.

    Huang Junming shouted in his heart for a while, then changed his face and said to Li Chunfeng: "Chunfeng, thank you very much. If you hadn't explained it to me, I'm afraid I would have underestimated this lunar calendar. And when I heard  After you do this, you understand everything in an instant. This lunar calendar is better than the single solar calendar. In fact, Pindao originally planned to let you find the solar calendar and then combine the solar calendar and the lunar calendar into one. As a result,  , or a poor miscalculation. Unexpectedly, the ancestors actually created this calendar a long time ago. How shameful." Huang Junming is like this, others often feel that Huang Junming is incomprehensible in appearance, and even some  At that time, many people didn't know the authenticity of each of Huang Junming's words, but later Huang Junming's reputation grew.  There is no need for others to doubt it.  No matter how much Huang Junming boasts or how much he talks, there are probably many people who are willing to believe him.
