    The Western calendar is a Solar calendar based on the earth turning around the sun.  Chinese calendar is primarily a Lunar calendar based on the moon turning around the earth. It's actually a Lunisolar Calendar. Unlike the Greek or Islamic Lunar calendar, the MONTHS in the Chinese calendar are based on the moon ; but the YEAR in the Chinese calendar is based on the sun.

    西方日历是阳历, 根据地球围绕太阳转动。中国日历主要是阴历, 根据月亮围绕地球转动。这实际上是一本阴阳日历。不同于希腊或伊斯兰教的阴历, 月在中国日历是根据月亮围绕地球转动; 但年在中国日历根据地球围绕太阳转动。
