The order of the changes of the moon was the new moon (New Moon), crescent moon, first quarter moon, full moon (Full Moon), waning crescent moon, last quarter moon, waning moon, and then the new moon cycle. At the new moon, the moon was in the middle of the earth and the sun, and the moon could not be seen on the earth. At the first quarter of the moon, the moon was half bright. At the full moon, the earth was between the moon and the sun, and the moon was completely illuminated by the sun. At the last quarter of the moon, the bright part of the moon was halved again.

The changes of the moon were generally divided into new moon (the first day of the lunar calendar), crescent moon (the third and fourth days of the lunar calendar), first quarter moon (the seventh and eighth days of the lunar calendar), full and protruding moon (the eleventh and twelfth days of the lunar calendar), full moon (the fifteenth and sixteenth days of the lunar calendar), waning and protruding moon (the eighteenth and nineteenth days of the lunar calendar), last quarter moon (the twenty-second and twenty-third days of the lunar calendar), and waning moon (the end of the lunar calendar). A cycle was completed from the first to the thirtieth day of the lunar calendar. The novel New Moon is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

|Moon phase name| epoch| characteristic| |--|--|--| |New Moon (New Moon)| first day of the lunar calendar| The moon moved between the earth and the sun. The back of the moon was illuminated by the sun and could not be seen on earth. It rose and set almost at the same time as the sun.| |Crescent| After the first day of the lunar calendar, not long after sunset| In the western sky, a crescent moon shaped like an eyebrow could be seen. The protruding part of the moon was facing west, forming an inverted C shape.| |first quarter| Around the seventh day of the lunar calendar| Appears in the southwest sky in the early middle of the night. From the northern hemisphere, the right half of the moon is illuminated in a semicircle.| |Full moon| (The reference material did not mention the specific time range, between New Moon and Wangwang)| The surface of the moon gradually increases and tends to be round.| |Hope (Full Moon)| 15th and 16th of the lunar calendar| The earth is located between the sun and the moon. The side of the moon facing the earth is illuminated and visible all night.| |Waning gibbous moon| (The reference materials did not mention the specific time range, between Wangwang and New Moon)| The surface of the moon gradually decreases and tends to be round.| |last quarter| Around the 22nd of the lunar calendar| In the southeastern sky in the second half of the night, the left half of the moon was illuminated from the northern hemisphere, almost in a semicircle.| |waning moon| The end of the lunar month| It can be seen in the eastern sky at dawn, with the protruding part of the moon facing east, like the letter "C".| The novel New Moon is equally exciting.

The animated demonstration of the changes in the moon phase helped to better understand the changes in the moon phase. In the moon phase animation, a fixed space background would usually be displayed. The moon would move in the background as the date changed, and bright colors would be used to represent different moon phase states. For example, a full circle represented a full moon, and a full black represented a new moon. The moon phase changes can be divided into eight different states, including the new moon.(The sun shines on the dark side of the moon, and the moon is completely unlit and appears black), Emei Moon (the moon begins to be illuminated by the sun's rays, and the moon appears a slender arc), Second, Third, Fourth, First Quarter Moon (the left edge of the moon is strongly illuminated, and the moon moves the fastest during the change of the moon's phase), Reunion Moon (also known as the full moon, and the moon appears to be completely round), and Last Quarter Moon (the right hemisphere is illuminated by the sun's rays). Every month, there were four distinct changes in the moon's phase: the moon was completely covered by the sun at the new moon, and the moon could not be seen. At the first quarter of the moon, only half of the moon was illuminated by the sun, forming a semicircle. At the full moon, the moon was completely illuminated by the sun, forming a circle. At the last quarter of the moon, only half of the moon was illuminated by the sun, forming a reverse semicircle. In addition, the change of the moon's phase was affected by the position of the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon. It was also affected by the shape and surface of the moon itself. For example, the pits on the surface of the moon would make the moon appear irregular. Observing in the northern hemisphere, the moon was below the sun at the new moon, west of the sun at the first quarter and full moon, and east of the sun at the last quarter. Observing in the southern hemisphere, the position and appearance were opposite. The novel New Moon is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

The changes of the moon were generally divided into the stages of the new moon, crescent moon, first quarter moon, full moon, moon, waning moon, last quarter moon, waning moon, and so on. The first day of the lunar calendar was the new moon. The moon was located between the earth and the sun. The back of the moon was illuminated by the sun. The moon could not be seen on earth. The moon and the sun rose and set almost at the same time. Soon after the sun set, a crescent moon could be seen in the western sky. The protruding part of the moon was facing west, forming an inverted C shape. The first quarter moon was around the seventh day of the lunar calendar. It appeared in the southwest sky in the first half of the night. From the northern hemisphere, the right half of the moon was illuminated, forming a semicircle. The 15th and 16th of the lunar calendar was the full moon. The Earth was located between the sun and the moon. The side of the moon facing the Earth was illuminated and could be seen all night. The last quarter of the moon was around the 22nd of the lunar calendar. It could be seen in the southeast sky in the second half of the night. From the northern hemisphere, the left half of the moon was illuminated. At the end of the lunar month, it was a waning moon. At dawn, it could be seen in the eastern sky. The protruding part of the moon faced east, like the letter "C". The moon's phase returned from the waning moon to the new moon and began a new cycle of changes. You can draw a picture of the moon's phase changes according to these descriptions or search for the moon's phase changes on the Internet to view it directly. The novel New Moon is equally exciting.

The incantation of the moon's phase change was 'up, west, west, down, down, east.' The understanding of "Shang Xi Xi" was as follows: the first "Shang" meant the first quarter of the moon, the second "Shang" meant the first half of the moon, and the third "Shang" meant the first half of the night. "Xixi" meant that the crescent moon appeared in the western half of the sky, and the moon was facing west (that is, the western half of the moon was bright, and the concave side was facing east). The first "Xia" referred to the last quarter of the moon, the second "Xia" referred to the second half of the moon, and the third "Xia" referred to the second half of the night. "Dongdong" meant that the last quarter of the moon appeared in the eastern half of the sky, and the moon faced east (that is, the eastern half of the moon was bright, and the concave side faced west). The moon's phase change was due to the moon's movement around the earth, causing the relative positions of the sun, the earth, and the moon to change regularly throughout the month. Because the moon itself does not emit light and is not transparent, only the part of the moon that is directly illuminated by the sun can reflect sunlight. We can see the different conditions of the part of the moon that is directly illuminated by the sun from Earth, which forms the change of the moon phase. This formula helps to determine the date, time and position of the moon phase according to the moon phase. The novel New Moon is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
