When does the lunar calendar coincide with the solar calendar?

Accurately speaking, every 19 years, there are basically close to 1 times, which is not absolute, and sometimes there is an error of 1 day. For example: Gregorian calendar: 65438+20091Monday, October 26th Aquarius Lunar Calendar: Gregorian calendar in the first month of the Year of the Ox:1990 65438+1Saturday, October 27th Aquarius Lunar Calendar: Gregorian calendar in the first month of the Year of the Horse:1978 655. 1Sunday, October 5th Capricorn Lunar Calendar: On the 26th of the winter month in the Year of the Rat, the earth's orbit around the sun is elliptical, and it moves slowly at the perihelion (vernal equinox and autumnal equinox), and the interval between the two solar terms can reach 3 1.45 days. On the other hand, the average lunar new moon is only 29.5306 days, including 29 days in the first lunar month and 30 days in the second lunar month. In the China lunar calendar, 24 solar terms are divided into 12 solar terms and 12 neutral terms. In this way, there will be such a situation: in some months (usually abortion), the last breath has passed at the beginning, and the next breath has not come at the end. Why is a lunar month not neutral? The results show that the average interval between two neutral gases is 365.2422÷ 12=30.4368 days, then 30 or 3 1 day. The lunar calendar adopts the method of 19 plus 7 leap months, that is, the "19 year 7 leap method", which well coordinates the return year and the lunar year, so that the New Year's Day (Spring Festival) of the lunar calendar is always kept in late winter and early spring. The ancients called 235 new moons "leap weeks". For example, 200 1 (New Year's Eve) is May 21(April 29), and the first day of the next lunar month is May 23. However, this lunar month ends on June 20, and the summer solstice is June 2 1, so this lunar month is not "neutral", it falls in the fourth month of the lunar calendar. This year's vernal equinox is on March 20th (February 30th), the first day of the next lunar month is on March 2nd1,and ends on April18th, and the third day is in Grain Rain on April 20th. In this way, the month after February of this year's lunar calendar without "neutral gas" is designated as leap February. According to this leap rule, it will leap in July 2006, May 2009, April 20 12, September 20 14, June 20 17 and April 2020. There are 24 solar terms in a year, which is just a traditional saying. In detail, it should be said that there are twelve solar terms and twelve neutral terms in a year. Which of the twelve qi belongs to which month is regular: rain is the qi of the first month; The vernal equinox is in mid-February; Grain Rain is the spirit of March; Xiaoman is the spirit of April; The solstice in summer is mid-air in May; The summer heat is in mid-June; Summer heat is the qi of July; The autumnal equinox is in mid-August; The first frost is the breath of September; Light snow is the neutral atmosphere in October; The winter solstice is 1 1 mid-month; It's freezing in mid-air in December. As for which month the twelve solar terms are in, it is not necessarily so. A month in the lunar calendar averages a little more than 29 and a half days, but the average interval from one breath to the next is less than 30 and a half days. In this way, the monthly air in the lunar month will be delayed by 1 day. At a certain time, qi is not in the middle of the month but moved to the end of the month. If next month is a miscarriage, there will probably be no gas in this month, because the gas will be moved to the beginning of the third month. The middle month is not neutral, even if last month was a leap month. Take 1998 as an example: June 2 1 day in the solar calendar is May 27th of the lunar calendar, which is the summer solstice (mid-May); But July 23rd in the solar calendar is the first day of June in the lunar calendar, and this day is the summer heat (the qi of June). From June 24th to July 22nd of the Gregorian calendar (one month after the end of May of the lunar calendar), there is only one solar term, and this month is leap May. Therefore, leap month is determined by people according to certain laws, which is not mysterious. Calculation of leap month in lunar leap year, three-year leap, five-year leap, 19 leap; The lunar calendar basically takes 19 as a cycle, corresponding to the same time in the Gregorian calendar. For example, in the Gregorian calendar, May 27th, 2006, 5438+0, May 27th 1982 and May 27th 1963 are the fifth day of leap April.
