Vietnamese calendar

A calendar issued for the year Bảo Đại 19 (1944), entitled "Đại Nam Hiệp Kỷ Calendar of Giáp Thân (Wood Monkey) year Bảo Đại 19" (大南保大十九年歲次甲申協紀曆, Đại Nam Bảo Đại thập cửu niên tuế thứ Giáp Thân hiệp kỷ lịch) showing all the national holidays and observations of the Nguyễn dynasty.

The Vietnamese calendar (Vietnamese: âm lịch; chữ Hán: 陰曆) is a lunisolar calendar that is mostly based on the lunisolar Chinese calendar. As Vietnam's official calendar has been the Gregorian calendar since 1954,[1] the Vietnamese calendar is used mainly to observe lunisolar holidays and commemorations, such as Tết Nguyên Đán and Tết Trung Thu.
