Extended data

No spring year is a concept in the lunar calendar, which means that there is no "beginning of spring" year in the lunar calendar. This is because some years of the lunar calendar are shorter than the tropic year, and some years are older than the tropic year. For example, 20 16 Lunar Year of the Monkey is a year without spring, that is, there is no day in beginning of spring all the year round. There is no year without spring in the solar calendar, because every year begins with "beginning of spring", and Meng Chun begins as soon as the solar term in beginning of spring arrives, so there is spring every year.

The tropical year is 365.2422 days, which is the time interval between two adjacent solar terms in beginning of spring. The average length of the Gregorian calendar year is 365.2425 days, which is almost the same as the tropic year. Therefore, the date of beginning of spring in the Gregorian calendar year is basically fixed, most years are February 4th, and some years are February 3rd or February 5th. However, the lunar year is different. The year without leap month in the lunar calendar is 353 to 355 days, which is about 1 1 day less than the return. The leap month year is from 383 days to 385 days, which is 19 days more than the tropic year. Therefore, beginning of spring's position in the Lunar New Year presents four situations: at the beginning of the year; At the end of the year; The beginning and end of a year is spring; There is no beginning of spring all the year round.

There is a leap month in the lunar calendar (every 19 has seven years), so there are beginning of spring days at the beginning and end of a year, that is, "two spring days". In the year without leap month (12 in every 19 years), because the year is shorter than the tropic year, there are most "spring-free years", and the remaining beginning of spring days are about half at the beginning of the year and half at the end of the year. This law takes 19 as the cycle, and it goes on and on, with slight differences in individual years.

It is a normal calendar phenomenon to have beginning of spring, double beginning of spring or no beginning of spring in the Lunar New Year, which has nothing to do with luck. In the old society, people thought that "a year without beginning of spring is a widow's year" and it was not suitable for marriage. But this is a statement without scientific basis. ? [ 12]? [ 14]?

In 100 of this century, there are 37 years of spring, 37 years of no spring, beginning of spring at the beginning of the year is 12 years, and beginning of spring at the end of the year is 14 years.
