中国人用的日历不仅有国际上通用的公历（阳历），还有中国传统的历法--农历（阴阳历）. 农历的“月”每个月29天或30天，全年354或355天，每隔一定的年数就有一个闰年，闰年13个月，全年384或385天. 所以，中国传统的新年——春节，虽总是在农历的一月一号，但在公历里却不是固定在某一天. 另外根据太阳在地球上的活动周期定有二十四节气，人们依此来安排农业生产. 这也是将中国传统历法称为“农历”的缘故. 农历是用传统的天干、地支来表示年的顺序，今年是丙寅年. 每六十年一个循环. 需要注意的是：汉语中对公历“年”的读法和英语不一样，例如“1998年”读作“一九九八年”，不是“十九 九十八年”. 而且年月日的排列顺序是从大到小：1998年1月28日星期三. In China, both the Gregorian Calendar and the traditional Chinese calendar are used. According to the Chinese calendar, there are 29 or 30 days in a month and 354 or 355 days in a year and there is a leap year after a certain number of years (seven leap years in nineteen years). There are 13 months or 384 or 385 days in a leap year. The Spring Festival or the Chinese New Year always falls on the first day of the first month by the Chinese calendar, but on different days by the Gregorian calendar. A Chinese year is divided into 24 solar terms according to which peasants arrange their farming. That is why the traditional Chinese calendar is also known as the Farming Calendar. The 10 Tiangan (Heavenly Stems) and 12 Dizhi (Earthly Branches) are combined into 60 pairs to designate years, e.g. 1998 is the Bing Yin year. Every 60 years is a cycle. Note that the way to tell the year in Chinese is different from that in English, for instance, 1998 is read in Chinese “一九九八年”，rather than in the English way as 'nineteen ninety eight'. To tell the date and the day of the week with the month and year, the order is Year-Month-Date-Day of the Week, e.g. 1998 nian 1 Yue 28 hao xingqisan.
