| Oct 6, 2017 at 20:16 | comment | added | J Asia | How about trying to explain it as a cultural preference, that East Asians (Japan and China in the question) prefer the lunisolar calendar? The "Western calendar" is based on solar calendar -- again, because of preference of Western cultures. That's all -- there is no necessity to argue this point. (OP assumption is also incorrect, Japanese Year has their own non-Western customs, e.g. tsukiokure). | |
