What it shows
A lunisolar label that uses lunar months but keeps seasonal alignment with leap-month rules.
Why it matters
It explains why lunar New Year moves within the solar year rather than staying on one Gregorian date.
Aha
Lunisolar calendars solve the lunar debt by occasionally adding a month, not by forcing months to match Gregorian months.

Limit
Chinese calendar labels depend on browser ICU/CLDR data. The synodic estimate is illustrative, not an official almanac.
