I want to buy shoes for my parents in February.

In leap month, children should buy a pair of leap month shoes for their parents to wear. As the saying goes, "The old man will live for a thousand years with shoes on the leap moon", on the one hand, it means that children should not forget the kindness of their parents, on the other hand, they should pray for their parents and wish them good health, peace and longevity. Don't forget your parents, whether they fly to the moon or not. Home is where your parents are. No matter how busy they are, children should always go home to see their parents and give them more company.

It is said that sending leap moon shoes is a tradition of the Chinese nation to honor the elderly. In the past, people were poor and had no shoes. They worked barefoot, which led to bleeding feet. A wanderer from a foreign land bought a pair of cloth shoes for the old man to show his filial piety when he went home for reunion in leap month.

Introduction of leap February

There are two February in the lunar calendar year, and the second February is a leap February. The frequency of leap February is second only to leap March, and it appears moderately around the 265,438+0th century, generally once every 65,438+09 years. Since then, the frequency of leap February has gradually decreased, becoming a rare leap month, which appeared once every century from the 25th to the 28th century, and there was no leap February in the 29th to the 30th century, the 36th to the 38th century and the 40th to the 44th century. Spring Festival and Dragon Head Festival are the earliest, and the latest year of Shangsi Festival is usually in February.

Leap February appears because only the solar terms are clear in the month after February of the lunar calendar, while Grain Rain is neutral after Qingming and falls in the next month, so there will be a month after February without neutrality. Therefore, the month after non-neutral February is named "leap February" after February, which is the reason for leap February. It should be pointed out that the setting of the lunar leap month is an artificial measure that conforms to the laws of nature and has nothing to do with superstitious ghosts and gods.
