Standard formulation background and technical evolution analysis
As the traditional Chinese calendar, the standardization of its compilation and promulgation is directly related to the accuracy of social production and life. In the past, due to the lack of a unified standard, the lunar calendars used in different regions were different, which brought many inconveniences to people's daily lives.
Technological Evolution
With the development of astronomy, the calculation method of the lunar calendar has undergone a transformation from empirical rules to precise models. Modern calculations are based on the International Earth Rotation and Reference System Service (IERS) specifications, ensuring the accuracy of the forecast of the position of the sun and the moon.
Professional Terminology Explanation and Application Cases
