Korean calendar Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

The traditional Korean calendar had:

• The Chinese zodiac of 12 "Earthly Stems" (animals), which were used for counting hours and years;
• Ten Heavenly Stems, which were combined with the 12 Earthly Stems to form a sixty-year cycle;
• Twenty-four seasons (jeolgi) in the year, of roughly 15 days each in length;
• Lunar Months.

The lunar calendar was the timetable for the agrarian society in the past, but is vanishing in the modern Korean lifestyle, except for some common festivals. Older generations still celebrate their birthday after the lunar calendar. See also: Festivals of the Lunar Calendar.
