The origin of the first day of the first month:
The first day of the first lunar month usually refers to the first day of the lunar calendar, which is the beginning of the year. Lunar calendar is a kind of calendar formed on the basis of summer calendar combined with solar calendar elements. The summer calendar is based on the law that the moon revolves around the earth, and the moon revolves around the earth in January, that is, the moon is the basis for determining the calendar month.
The summer calendar only looks at the moon, regardless of the tropical year, so it has nothing to do with the four seasons. Therefore, it can not accurately reflect the changes of seasons to guide farming. Although the summer calendar can't accurately reflect the seasons and guide farming, it can reflect the tidal phenomenon.
In order to solve the problem that the lunar calendar does not reflect the seasons, the solar calendar is added to adapt it to the tropic year, which is used to guide farming and form a combined calendar of yin and yang. The lunar calendar is one of the calendars combining yin and yang.
