The two beginning of spring will appear on February 4th, 2023 (the 14th day of the first lunar month) and February 4th, 2024 (the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month).

2023 is a special year for double spring rabbits. We all know that the beginning of spring is around February 4th every year. In some years, the Spring Festival of that year is before beginning of spring, and the Spring Festival of the following year is after February 4th, thus forming two solar terms in beginning of spring every year, which is the double Spring Festival in folklore. The double spring year is usually 12, and it also appears in leap month year, so it is still very precious.

There is a folk saying of "double happiness in spring", which means "double spring year" is auspicious, and people often choose to marry and have children in this year.

"Double spring and leap moon, good years of marriage."

"After two springs a year, loess turns into gold."

The spirit of the rising sun in early spring symbolizes vitality and indicates a bumper harvest year.

As the saying goes:

"Two spring and one winter, ten cowsheds are nine empty." In the two solar terms of the year, the weather is fine and there is a lot of farm work in the field, so all the cows go to work. The cowshed is naturally empty.

Detailed explanation of double spring year:

The double spring year means that there are two solar terms in beginning of spring in a year. The double spring year is a unique phenomenon in Chinese calendar, which is actually caused by the "wrong balance" between the solar calendar and the lunar calendar.

The solar calendar is based on the law that the earth revolves around the sun. The revolution of the earth 1 is 1 year, divided into 12 months, and counted as 365 days (366 days in leap years). The lunar calendar is based on the law of the moon's profit and loss. The orbit of the moon around the earth is 1 month, and a year is 12 months. The actual number of days is 354 days.

China's calendar is based on the cycles of the sun and the moon. In this way, there is a deviation of 1 1 day between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar, so the lunar calendar has a "leap month" to solve the time difference problem of the lunar calendar.
