Is there anything to say about leap June? What does leap month mean?

Introduction: leap month is a way to set leap in the calendar, especially a month added every leap year in the lunar calendar. Leap June is one of the leap months. As we all know, there are many customs and taboos when leap months appear. Do you know what leap month says? What does leap month mean? I want to know how many years leap June is.

What does leap month mean?

There are 24 solar terms in ancient Chinese calendar, which are divided into solar terms and neutral atmosphere. The second month of the lunar calendar is called the solar term at the beginning of the month and after the middle of the month. For example, beginning of spring is the solar term in the first month, and rain is the neutral word in the first month. However, in the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the two solar terms is 30.5 days, while the lunar calendar has only 29.5 days per month, with a difference of 1 day. So the monthly neutral atmosphere will be 1-2 days later than last month. In the long run, there will always be a month with only solar terms and no neutral atmosphere.

In this regard, the ancients in China adopted the method of setting leap months. If a lunar month has only solar terms and no neutral atmosphere, the calendar will take that month as the leap month of last month. The so-called leap June means that there is a month with only solar terms but no neutral atmosphere after June of the lunar calendar, so this month without neutral atmosphere is set as leap June to adjust the error.

In what year does leap month occur?

In a year, the distance between the earth and the sun is near or far. When the earth is far away from the sun, it moves slowly around June in Gregorian calendar, so the interval between the two gases is longer, exceeding 3 1 day at the longest. According to the average length of 30.5 days in the first two solar terms, there is a great possibility of non-neutrality in the middle of the month and leap month, so there are many opportunities in April, May and June.

By about 65438+February in the Gregorian calendar, the earth is close to the sun, moving at a fast speed, and the interval between two times is short, the shortest is only a little more than 29 days, which is shorter than one month in the lunar calendar. Therefore, the first month, November and twelfth month are unlikely to be neutral, and there are relatively few opportunities for leap months.
