How about jumping into February and spring?

As the old saying goes, "it's hard to meet two spring days in a year, but it's hard to meet spring days in a hundred years." It is very rare that there are two solar terms in beginning of spring in a year. If the solar terms of beginning of spring and New Year's Day coincide, it will be a once-in-a-century event. (Of course, the centenarians here are imaginary numbers, and it is worth seeing once in many years. However, some people say that the double spring year has a bad meaning.

First of all, the double spring year has a beautiful moral:

1. In the past, many rural people deliberately chose the double spring year when they got married, because there was a saying among the people that "double spring is a leap in the moon, and it is auspicious", and even some areas thought that the crops in the double spring year were easy to harvest, such as the agricultural proverb "One winter and two springs, the loess turned into gold".

There are many folk sayings about "Double Spring Year" and "Widowhood Year". For example, some places say that "Double Spring Year" is a rare good year, suitable for new people to get married.

Second, the meaning of the double spring year is very poor:

1. In some places, there are different opinions, even completely opposite opinions. People think that beginning of spring twice a year means "second spring". This year is not suitable for marriage, and even if you get married, it is easy to divorce.

2. As the saying goes, "Widows are divided everywhere in spring", which means that marriage feelings are easy to break down in this year and may even lead to the death of one party. It's a little scary.

3. At the same time, for the "double spring year", the people also think that this year will not be too good, for example, "a bean is as expensive as gold in two spring years", saying that the grain harvest in the double spring year will not be too good.

4. In some places, there is a saying that "fur is as expensive as gold in two winters and one spring", which means that the winter in two spring years is particularly cold, which is not good for aquaculture, and these poultry and livestock are easy to freeze to death.

In addition, people think that "no spring year" is not very good, and many places think that "widowed year" is not suitable for getting married or dealing with some important things. Because this year is not good, it is easy for newcomers to become "widows" when they get married.
