What calendars are based off the sun and moon?

Most calendars are in some way based on either the solar (Sun) or the lunar (Moon) cycle; some are based on both.

That is, the length of the year is based on the Sun; but the start of the year and the months is not related to any particular astronomical event.* The Jewish calendar is based on both the Moon and the Sun.
