Old people often say, leap in April, what is leap method?

Old people often say that leap April means that there are two April in the lunar calendar, which means that the lunar calendar will be one month longer than in previous years. In the past, old people used to say? Leap in April, a sign of famine? This means that if it falls in April this year, the grain output this year will not be too high. It sounds a bit feudal and superstitious, but it's not all like this. This is actually the experience summed up by the old people according to their past lives, but it is not suitable now. In ancient times, agriculture was the mainstay, and in ancient times, the lunar calendar was also the mainstay. Different from the Gregorian calendar we use now, farming time is also based on the lunar calendar.

Why do you say that? Leap in April, a sign of famine? It is because it is easy to have late spring cold in leap April, which has a great impact on crops. In the event of a cold spring, the output will inevitably decrease, and this year is a leap in April, and it did happen this year, so the old people's statement still has some truth, but it is not absolute. Cold spring doesn't necessarily happen in leap April. There is another saying? Eat leaves in leap April? This is because in the past, people needed to be self-sufficient in food. Suddenly an extra month, food is definitely not enough, but eating leaves is not enough.

There are also some customs about leap month, that is, parents should be given a pair of shoes in leap month. There's an old saying? Leap-moon shoes, leap-moon wear, leap-moon elderly live 1000? I mainly want to pray for the health of my parents. My married daughter wants to buy her mother two pig's trotters with six faces tied with red lines and spring flowers, and women want to drink tea in leap months. This is a custom in Wuyishan area, and men are not allowed to participate. In fact, it is mainly to exchange feelings.

Jumping in April does have some impact on our lives, but we are now so technologically advanced that we can take some measures in time to avoid reducing production even if there is late spring cold.
