&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203; In China, everyone has two birthday dates, one is the lunar calendar and the other is the Gregorian calendar. Some people are used to having a Gregorian birthday, while others like to have a Lunar birthday. So is it better to have a Lunar birthday or a Gregorian birthday? What's the difference between Lunar birthday and Gregorian birthday? This article introduces the difference between Lunar birthday and Gregorian birthday, and analyzes the quality of Lunar birthday and Gregorian birthday.
The difference between the lunar calendar and the Gregorian calendar
Lunar birthday, also known as virtual birthday, calculates the virtual age, which is a commonly used age calculation method in China. It is calculated according to the calendar years experienced after birth, that is, one year after birth, and one year after each new year.
The age calculated according to the Lunar birthday is generally calculated according to the lunar new year, but also according to the Gregorian calendar. For example, a baby born at the end of December is one year old after birth, and one year old after January 1 of the Gregorian calendar or the local lunar new year. In this way, the baby is only a few days old and is two years old. This calculation method is a more practical age calculation method used by Chinese people.
The Gregorian calendar birthday refers to the date of someone's birth in the Gregorian calendar in the year of AD. The age calculated by the Gregorian birthday is the first year of age, also known as the full age, which refers to the number of anniversaries or birthdays from birth to the time of calculation.
For example, the census registration was conducted at 0:00 on July 1, 1990. A baby born on December 15, 1989 is 2 years old according to the imaginary age. In fact, it has only been more than six months and has not had a birthday. According to the age, it should be less than 1 year old, that is, 0 years old. The age of one year is often 1 to 2 years younger than the virtual age. It is a commonly used age calculation method in demography.
