The traditional Chinese calendar is not a pure lunar calendar (the Islamic calendar is a typical lunar one) but a comination of lunar and solar one (in Chinese Yin Yang He Li).

Hi. I just noticed that your site looks like it has a few code errors at the very top of your website’s page. I’m not sure if everybody is getting this same bugginess when browsing your blog? I am employing a totally different browser than most people, referred to as Opera, so that is what might be causing it? I just wanted to make sure you know.
