Lunar Calendar
The P802 has two calendars, one based on the Western solar calendar system and one based
on the Chinese lunar system. Before the solar calendar was adopted, China exclusively followed
a lunar to decide the times of planning, harvesting and festival occasions. Today the solar
calendar is used for most practical matters of daily life but the lunar calendar is still important
because it determines numerous seasonal holidays such as the Traditional New Year. When
Chinese is the selected language, the lunar calendar is the default.
Contacts
Chinese and English names are grouped separately. Chinese names may be sorted by Pinyin,
Stroke or BoPoMoFo (depending which two of these are present).
