The lunar calendar is the crystallization of the traditional Chinese calendar and has a deep Chinese cultural origin. It is not only one of the calendars officially used in my country, but also widely used by overseas Chinese. Therefore, the lunar calendar has irreplaceable and important significance in inheriting Chinese culture and maintaining the Chinese world. At the same time, as a special lunisolar calendar, the lunar calendar can reflect the characteristics of seasons, farming time and phenology, as well as natural phenomena such as the change of moon phases and the size of tides, which makes it have a wide range of practical value in daily life, agricultural production, fishery production, flood prevention and control, and navigation practice. The basis for the compilation of the lunar calendar is the predicted position of the sun and the moon and certain date arrangement rules. Therefore, the difference in the accuracy of the sun and moon position forecast and the difference in the date arrangement rules will directly affect the arrangement results of the lunar calendar dates. The lack of the lunar calendar issuance standard will lead to the public issuance of non-standard lunar calendars, which will bring confusion to the use. In order to ensure the accuracy and authority of the lunar calendar, and effectively maintain the unity and seriousness of the lunar calendar as a national calendar, it is necessary to standardize the compilation and issuance of the lunar calendar and formulate national standards.

In ancient China, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches were paired with one character each in sequence to form a pair of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, forming a new system of sequential symbols consisting of 60 pairs of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, which were used in a cycle and usually used to record years and days. The order of the names of the 60 Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches is shown in Appendix C4 Rules for the arrangement of the lunar calendar
