Question lunar date
Need to get some knowledge about how to express lunar dates. If it's solar date, it is very simple. But, how to say like Jan. 1 when it is a lunar date? Thanks!

Emily

Same. Month/Day/Year.

Here's a site you might like. Enter the date and it gives you the Chinese lunar date. Click here.

Thanks! I would like to know whether is correct to say "January 1st in lunar calendar", or "January 1st of lunar calendar", or "January 1st in Chinese lunar calendar", or "January 1st in Chinese farmer's calendar".
