    So if I got this right, instead of defining the number of days in a year like Julian calendar, the Chinese calendar goes off lunar cycles with extra months as necessary (according to lunar and solstice cycle). Thus it naturally didn’t run into the problem the Julian calendar had with defined number of days. Right?
