1The Chinese Lunar Calendar has intercalary months – i.e. additional months.  The year 2020 for example will have an intercalary 4th month.  The year 2020 therefore, will have an additional 4th month (the intercalary 4th month or 閏四月) as well as the regular 4th month.  Therefore, the Guanyin Bodhisattva Vegetarian Schedule for the 4th month of 2020 will be followed on the 22nd day of the 4th lunar month (western calendar May 14th) and the 22nd day of the intercalary 4th month (western calendar June 13th) respectively.
