The monthly arrangement of 365 days in a normal year is completely in line with our thinking, that is, according to the big month, small month, big month, small month, small month, big month and small month, it happens to be six big months and six small months.

The solar calendar was made by Julius Caesar of Rome in 46 BC. At first, he stipulated 12 months per year, 3 1 day per month and 30 days per month, so there are 366 days per year. But at that time, Rome executed a number of prisoners every February, so February was considered an unlucky month. As a result, Caesar reduced February by one day, leaving 29 days.

Later, Caesar was killed and Augustus became emperor. He found that Caesar was born in July with 365,438+0 days, while he was born in August with only 30 days, so he subtracted one day from February and added it to August. So there are 28 days left in February, and it becomes 3 1 day in August.

At the same time, he changed the number of days in the next few months and became like this. But for this matter, there is no other historical evidence in history, and it is probably just a myth, although it is a very old myth.
