In 223, double spring year meets leap February. What does the saying mean, "double spring leap February, cold spring meets autumn drought"?

the leap month is to coordinate the number of days between the lunar year and the solar year, and adjust it by "setting leap method" to adapt the total number of days of the two years.

"Double Spring Year" refers to a year in which there are two solar terms in beginning of spring according to the lunar calendar.

if the two meet, what's the argument?

223 is the year of Guimao Rabbit. According to the leap method, that year was leap February.

combined with the 24 solar terms, 223 is still a "double spring year", that is to say, 223 is a double spring year with a leap in February. According to the old saying in rural areas, it is cold in spring and drought in autumn. From the perspective of agricultural planting, it is not good weather, and farmers' friends are afraid to worry. Will it be a "famine year"?

In this article, the author talks about the above questions in detail about leap month and double spring year, and whether it has an impact on agriculture, and whether 223 is a "famine year" after reading it, everyone will have an answer.

the origin of leap February in 223 is that after February, under normal circumstances, the next month should contain a "solar term" and a "neutral atmosphere", while in 223, after February, the next month only has a "solar term" but no "neutral atmosphere". According to the calendar, there is no "neutral atmosphere" in that month.

here is to explain what are "solar terms" and "neutral qi". According to the previous statement, the twenty-four solar terms are actually divided into "solar terms" and "neutral qi", with odd solar terms called "solar terms" and even solar terms called "neutral qi". For example, the first solar term is beginning of spring, the second solar term is rain, followed by the fright and vernal equinox, and beginning of spring and the fright belong to it.

The origin of the "Double Spring Year" in 223 is well explained. Just look at the days of the lunar calendar in beginning of spring in a year. By looking at the calendar, we know that the 14th day of the first lunar month in 223 is the solar term in beginning of spring in 223, and the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month in 223 is also the solar term in beginning of spring, but it is only the solar term in beginning of spring in 224.

According to the lunar calendar time, there are two solar terms in beginning of spring in a year, so it is called "Double Spring Year".

On the contrary, it is a year without spring, that is, a year without beginning of spring.

after reading this, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the double spring year meeting with leap February in 223.

Let me tell you something here. The last year of leap February was in 24. After 19 years' interval, leap February came again in 223.

The year of the next leap in February will be 242, with an interval of 19 years.

However, the next year of leap February will wait until 299.

The year of "Double Spring Year" is relatively frequent. In the first decade, 212, 214, 217 and 22 were all "Double Spring Years", followed by 223, 225, 228 and 231.

"Double spring leap in February, spring cold meets autumn drought"

There is an agricultural proverb among the people that "Double spring leap in February, spring cold meets autumn drought". Regarding leap February and double spring year, literally, if it is a double spring year and a leap year in February, then it will be cold in spring and dry in autumn.

from the cognitive point of view, spring is the season when flowers bloom, the temperature gradually warms up, and everything recovers. If it is cold in spring, which does not conform to the common sense of nature, there will be one kind or another of problems.

For example, the "cold spring" that people often say belongs to a low-temperature weather phenomenon in spring.

in terms of agricultural cultivation, it will bring certain harm to agricultural production.

For example, wheat is in the jointing stage of turning green. If the temperature is too low, it will delay the turning green and jointing time of wheat. In severe cases, it will lead to freezing injury of wheat, which will further affect the subsequent flowering and filling, resulting in the increase of grains and the decrease of 1-grain weight, which will eventually lead to a reduction in production. This is what farmers and friends are afraid of.

Autumn is the key period for the growth of summer-sown crops, which requires sufficient water to maintain normal growth, and if it encounters long-term dry weather, it will also have a certain impact on the yield.

For summer-sown corn, the whole autumn occupies most of the growth period of corn. If there is a long-term drought and water shortage, the corn will grow short and prone to lodging, and the corn cob will be short of grains, which is also a normal phenomenon.

if you go to irrigate and water, on the one hand, it will increase the planting cost; on the other hand, by the middle and late stage of corn growth, the corn plants will grow high and it is inconvenient to water, so few farmers will water them again.

Therefore, if we follow the saying that "double spring is in February, cold spring is in autumn", the growth of crops next year (223) will not be very good, which belongs to the category of "famine year".

However, such terms as leap month and double spring year are all artificially set. For example, leap month is a way to coordinate the lunar year with the solar year, while "double spring year" is a folk term.

and was it cold that year? Is there enough rainfall? Will there be drought? It is a natural phenomenon, and there is no connection between them.

in addition, with the climate change for so many years, some of the previous folk sayings are not applicable to today's society.

As for whether the crops are high-yielding, it depends on a series of management by farmers from planting to harvesting. I hope that next year will be a "bumper year" instead of a "barren year", and all farmers and friends will have a bumper harvest.

what do you think of this?
