Chinese calendar

The Chinese calendar is like a regular calendar that people use in their day-to-day lives, except it follows the movements of the moon, stars, and planets. It is usually used for festivals and holidays. The Chinese calendar is divided into twelve months, just like the regular calendar, but each one has a different name and length. The Chinese calendar also has four different seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter. Different festivals and holidays happen during different times of the year.
