It is said that next year will be a wet year in rural areas. What is the reason and meaning of sliding year?

Sliding year refers to the year when there is no beginning of spring in the lunar calendar. This is a traditional folk saying, also called "Widowhood Year". Folklore is not suitable for marriage this year, but this statement has no scientific basis, and a new generation of young people need not care.

There is no scientific basis for saying that "widow's year" is not suitable for marriage. "beginning of spring" is just a solar term, and it really has nothing to do with marriage. "The scientific name of Widowhood Year is Blind Year, also called Blind Spring, which is related to the international Gregorian calendar (solar calendar) and the traditional lunar calendar (lunar calendar).

Extended data:

The saying that "no beginning of spring is a widow's year" is purely a folk saying and has no scientific basis.

In the past ten years, the year of "the beginning of no spring" has appeared every few years. The lunar calendar in China is regular, because the solar calendar has many more days than the lunar calendar. In order to adjust this phenomenon, there will be 65,438+0 leap months every few years, otherwise there will be no beginning of spring. This is not unscientific, nor does it mean that the calendar of "ancestors" has no basis.

However, for thousands of years, there have been many customs, habits and beliefs, and some people have some "folk sayings". As long as the absence of beginning of spring and the appearance of leap month are regarded as normal calendar phenomena, their normal life will not be affected.
