About these calendars
Gregorian
The Gregorian calendar is the most widely used civil calendar in the world. Introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 as a reform of the Julian calendar, it corrected the drift in the date of Easter by refining the leap year rule. It is a solar calendar with 365 days in a common year and 366 in a leap year.

Chinese
The Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar that combines lunar months with a solar year through the use of intercalary (leap) months. It has been used for thousands of years to determine traditional Chinese holidays like Lunar New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival. Each year is associated with one of 12 zodiac animals in a repeating 12-year cycle.
