The first month of the lunar calendar is customarily called the first month. November and December of the lunar calendar are called winter and twelfth months respectively, but winter months are rarely used. This is the origin of the idiom "winter", which literally means that October, November and December are the coldest months of the year.
The first ten days of a month in the lunar calendar are customarily called the first day in turn, such as the second day of the first month called the second day of the first month; Days directly used from 11th to 20th and 30th, such as the 15th day of the first month (Lantern Festival), are called the 15th day of the first month; The 2nd1to 29th days are customarily called 20th days in sequence, and some of them are called anniversaries. For example, the 22nd day of the first month is called the 22nd day of the first month or the 2nd day of the first month. Every month of the lunar calendar has a different nickname.
