I had thought the some (in China) advance there age by the Chinese New Year. Hence the 3rd birthday? Maybe? :huh:

Forgot about that one...Ren Ri. "Common Man's birthday". 7th day of the lunar new year.

The time [ and day ] that you're born also determines which 'date' is good for your marriage celebration ... in accordance with your future wife's.

Almost every calendar I have seen in China has both the Lunar date and Gregorian date. You will see that their calendar does not line up with ours. Chinese New Years, hence, is a different date on the Gregorian calendar each year. This year it is on Saint Valentine's Day, 14 February. As said above, there are many reasons that when born in different years, one may share the same birth date on one calendar, but but on the other.

Why don't you make things easier on yourselves, check the date of birth in her passport, That's her birthday thereafter. Forget all this twaddle and confusion with lunar this, and lunar that!!!
This is what we both do, and there is no problems whatsoever knowing when her CORRECT and OFFICIAL birthday is!!!!

My wife's birthday was recorded on the Lunar date in her village, so it does not match up to the date she was born on the Gregorian date. So how do I fix this? I celebrate it on September 10th on both calendars!
