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
The Moon Main
Houses information on the moon phases, as well as moonrise and moonsite times.
It can be measured in the following three ways: Synodic Month 29.5 days This is the time between successive New Moons and is the basis for our calendar month
Moon Phases
Pictures, animations, and brief comments.
Because the cycle of the phases is shorter than most calendar months, the phase of the Moon at the very beginning of the month usually repeats at the very end of the month
The first time that the thin waxing crescent Moon is visible after New Moon (low in the evening sky just after sunset) marks the beginning of a month in the Islamic Calendar - see the FAQ
New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Last Quarter phases are considered to be primary phases and their dates and times are published in almanacs and on calendars
These definitions are used when the dates and times of the phases are computed for almanacs, calendars, etc

The Lunar Calendar of Shakespeare's King Lear

The Lunar Calendar of Shakespeare's King Lear Steve Sohmer Sohmer, Steve
"The Lunar Calendar of Shakespeare's King Lear ." Early Modern Literary Studies 5.2 (September, 1999): 2.1-17 URL:
In this essay, I suggest that the common denominator of the temporal allusions in Lear is a lunar calendar
I identify this calendar as a primitive pre-Roman (Etruscan) model and establish Shakespeare's ancient source for its form
Logically, Leir's early date would seem to preclude Shakespeare from applying to Lear the calendars of Pope Gregory XIII (1582), Julius Caesar (45 BC), the Roman Republic (153 BC), or even Numa Pompilius (c
Various calendars were operative during the historical Leir's era, among them the 355-day Babylonian and Hebrew lunar formulations and the solar 365-day Egyptian
But the invocation of Roman deities in Lear entails that Shakespeare imagined his ancient king and kingdom following some form of primitive Roman festal calendar
Plutarch, Shakespeare's favorite Roman source, provides a concise epitome of the form of the primitive calendar of Rome and its evolution from Etruscan antecedents
Chinese Lunar Calendar - Astronomical Programming
Discussion of the relationship between the Chinese and Western calendars, with
related data.
Chinese Lunar Calendar - Programming and Astronomical Data Theory, Leap Month, High-Precision Astronomical Data (1 to 2246 A.D.) and Conversion Programming Introduction Many people are looking for the formula to convert from the Gregorian Calendar to Chinese Lunar Calendar
Actually, there is no formula for the Chinese Lunar Calendar Conversion to satisfy me during my research from 1988 to 1992
Because the motion and rotation of moon are uneven, unstable and wobbling, it's very hard to have a accurate formula for Chinese Lunar Calendar over any century
Before learning how to do the Chinese Lunar Calendar conversion programming with high-precision astronomical data used in the, we have to know the theory and the imperfection of the Chinese Lunar Calendar system

Chinese Calendrics Software Software for the study of the Chinese Calendar 1
Introduction The Chinese Lunar Calendar is not only a lunar calendar but also a calendar (what some call a 'lunisolar' calendar), consisting of months corresponding exactly to lunar cycles and years which stay more-or-less in sync with seasonal years
Implicit in the construction of this calendar is a separate solar calendar, less well-known
Both calendars depend on the times of certain astronomical events, principally and winter solstices
BCE) the times of these events have been ascertained not by observation but rather by calculation, so these calendars can be classified as
The solar calendar consists of a series of seasonal years which are divided into 24 "solar terms"
The lunar calendar consists of a series of years which are divided into 12 or 13 lunar months
A solar year always begins at the (northern) winter solstice, on or around December 21st in the Common Era Calendar
Chinese Calendrics is a tool for the study of the Chinese Calendar
Chinese Calendrics can be used as follows: To convert between dates in the Chinese solar and lunar calendars and dates in the Common Era and Julian calendars

Blue Moon Myths Second
full moon in a month, or third
full moon in a single season?
According to the more recent definition, a blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month
Since the identity of the moons was important in the ecclesiastical calendar (the Paschal Moon, for example, used to be crucial for determining the date of ), a year with a thirteenth moon skewed the calendar, since there were names for only twelve moons
By identifying the extra, thirteenth moon as a blue moon, the ecclesiastical calendar was able to stay on track
The more recent phenomenon, where the blue moon is considered to be the second full moon in a calendar month, last occurred on July 31, 2004

Computer Game Chinese Lunar Calendar Used to Determine The Gender of Your Baby Click here for some from BabiesOnline.com Current Health News: The Chinese Gender Calendar was supposedly discovered by a Chinese Scientist who drew this chart which was buried in a Royal tomb about 700 years ago
Most of the Gender Calendars you find on the web tell you that it is based off the mother's lunar age, but do not tell you how to go about calculating it
The Baby Gender Predictor is based off the Chinese Lunar Calendar, and actually does the calculations to convert the mother's age to the proper format
If there is a bit of truth to the Chinese Lunar Calendar, we would expect for the first tool to have a higher percentage of correct predictions

It is Year 4703 by the Chinese calendar
[A few Chinese astrological/zodiac websites believe this year should be considered as Year 4704 for zodiac calculations.] What's special about the Chinese New Year in 2006? It was a Leap Year! Unlike the western calendar, where one extra day is added in February, one whole leap month is added in a Chinese Leap Year

THE CHURCH LUNAR CALENDAR It is generally held that the took place on the Jewish Feast of the Passover, which was always kept on the fourteenth day of the first month of the old
As in the Julian calendar the months had lost all their original reference to the moon, the early were compelled to use the Metonic Lunar Cycle of the Greeks to find the fourteenth day of the paschal moon
The Church claims no astronomical exactness for her lunar calendar; we shall show presently the confusion which would necessarily result from an extreme adherence to precise astronomical data in determining the date of
She wishes merely to ensure that the fourteenth day of the calendar moon shall fall on or shortly after the real fourteenth day but never before it, since it would be chronologically absurd to keep on or before the Passover
Otherwise, as plainly states (Romani Calendarii a Gregorio XIII P.M
It may be mentioned here that Clavius's estimate of the accuracy of the calendar, in the compilations of which he took such a leading part, is extremely modest, and the seats assigned by him to the new moons tally with strict astronomical findings in a degree which he seems never to have anticipated
