The Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar, meaning it is based on both the moon's phases and the sun's position, resulting in months that alternate between 29 and 30 days, with an extra month added every few years to keep it aligned with the solar year. In contrast, the Western calendar, primarily the Gregorian calendar, is a solar calendar with 12 months of fixed lengths that total 365 days in a common year and 366 in a leap year. The Chinese calendar also emphasizes traditional festivals and events tied to its lunar months, while the Western calendar is primarily used for civil purposes and has a different set of holidays. Additionally, the Chinese New Year varies each year, while the Western New Year is consistently celebrated on January 1st.
