A lunar calendar is a calendar that is based on cycles of the lunar phases. This can be contrasted with the Gregorian calendar, which is a solar calendar based on the revolution of the Earth around the sun. Because there are slightly more than twelve lunations (synodic months) in a solar year, the period of 12 lunar months (354.37 days) is sometimes referred to as a lunar year.
A common purely lunar calendar is the Islamic (or Hijri Qamari) calendar. A feature of the Islamic calendar is that a year is always 12 months, so the months are not linked with the seasons and drift each solar year by 11 to 12 days. It comes back to the position it had in relation to the solar year approximately every 33 Islamic years. It is used mainly for religious purposes, but in Saudi Arabia it is the official calendar. Other lunar calendars often include extra months added occasionally to synchronize it with the solar calendar.
The oldest known lunar calendar was found in Scotland at Warren Field and dates back to around 8,000 BC.Alexander Marshack, in a controversial reading, believed that marks on a bone baton (c. 25,000 BCE) represented a lunar calendar. Similarly, Michael Rappenglueck believes that marks on a 17,000-year-old cave painting in Lascaux represent a lunar calendar.

Why Do Some Countries Use Different Calendars?
▶ In this video I talk about the different calendars that exist throughout the world. I explain how, in general, calendars are categorized as either being Solar, Lunar, or Lunisolar; with the first being related to the position of the sun, the second related to the position of the moon, and the third related to both. I list some of the more well known calendars in each of these categories - such as the Chinese calendar, the Hebrew, the Islamic, or the Indian National Calendar - explaining in which circumstances they are used and understanding how most of the world, save a few exceptions, has adopted the Gregorian Calendar as its main civil calendar, using local ones for cultural and religious purposes only.

Why do Chinese use lunar calendar? | Let's Chinese
One reason for this is that the lunar calendar is closely connected to the agricultural cycle. The Chinese have always been an agricultural society, and the lunar calendar is closely tied to the planting and harvesting of crops. The lunar calendar is based on the cycles of the moon, and the Chinese farmers have long used it to plan their planting and harvesting.

Human cultures from our oldest records have used the moon phases to record time. Ancient societies across the world observed and measured the Lunar Calendar to understand its influence on their lives.
Why would they do so? Today we don’t appreciate or know how the moon phases affect us.
The Gregorian calendar is the most commonly used around the world. It is a solar calendar that was adapted from an earlier Lunisolar version. Today our months are roughly divided into moon cycles, but it doesn’t record exact moon phases. Hence, it doesn’t sync with the moon’s orbit.
If our daily calendar didn’t sync with the sun, would we use it?
Humans didn’t always live out of harmony with the moon. Evidence of the Lunar Calendar is found all over the world. Some are still in use today. The Islamic calendar is purely based on the moon cycle. The Chinese calendar is a Lunisolar calendar, which tracks both the sun and moon.
The Lunar Calendar may even be more accurate than the purely solar calendar that we use. There may be an argument to change the system we use.

The Lunar calendar illustration manuscript in Arabic with ink and paint, dated approximately 13th century.
The edges of the page are frayed. Jews and Muslims follow the lunar calendar for religious rituals. This fragment is simply line framed with a large almond-shaped eye, arched eyebrows and the Arabic style of personification of the planet Sun with a face placed at the centre of the frame. It is surrounded by descriptions of the months according to the phases of the moon in a one month-cycle. Each of the moons is coloured according to phases by using red colour.
A lunar calendar is a calendar that is based on cycles of the lunar phases. This can be contrasted with the Gregorian calendar, which is a solar calendar based on the revolution of the Earth around the sun. Because there are slightly more than twelve lunations (synodic months) in a solar year, the period of 12 lunar months (354.37 days) is sometimes referred to as a lunar year.
A common purely lunar calendar is the Islamic (or Hijri Qamari) calendar. A feature of the Islamic calendar is that a year is always 12 months, so the months are not linked with the seasons and drift each solar year by 11 to 12 days. It comes back to the position it had in relation to the solar year approximately every 33 Islamic years. It is used mainly for religious purposes, but in Saudi Arabia it is the official calendar. Other lunar calendars often include extra months added occasionally to synchronize it with the solar calendar.
The oldest known lunar calendar was found in Scotland at Warren Field and dates back to around 8,000 BC.Alexander Marshack, in a controversial reading, believed that marks on a bone baton (c. 25,000 BCE) represented a lunar calendar. Similarly, Michael Rappenglueck believes that marks on a 17,000-year-old cave painting in Lascaux represent a lunar calendar.
