【Being under a starlit sky】

We adopt the solar calendar.The earth circles around the sun in 365days.365 divided by 12 equal 12,with 5 left over. Except for February,a month has 30 or 31days.☀

Contrary to it,we make 29.5days of waxing and waning 満ち欠け of the moon a month in the lunar calendar.🌙

As a result,as for the number of the days,there is difference between the the two calendars.The solar calendar has more 11days than the lunar one.😚

Compendium of seasonal words 歳時記 which has sense of season is expressed in the lunar calendar.There is also difference between the solar and lunar calendar in relation to the sense of the season.☀

However,the lunar calendar has been used in Islamic world,Chinese bloc,and Japanese farming village.🌙

The moon changes its shape everyday.If seeing the moon,we can recognize what date it is.It takes about a week from a half moon to the full moon.If remembering the date of the shape of the moon,it'll be convenient for us.👍
