Are there any black rabbits coming out during the Spring Festival?

In 2023, there are many sayings that it is not only the year of double spring, but also the year of black rabbit (the year of water rabbit). The old man thinks that the "water" in the water rabbit represents wealth, and next year is also a year of making a fortune. Let's talk about the meanings of double spring, leap month and black rabbit year respectively.

Shuangchun:

Speaking of double spring, it is also easy to understand, that is to say, there are two beginning of spring in a year. In the year of Guimao Rabbit in 2023, there happened to be two beginning of spring, one year and the end of one year, which were the 14th day of the first month and the 25th day of the twelfth month.

As for why there are double spring years, it is also caused by the calculation gap between the solar calendar and the lunar calendar. After all, a year in the solar calendar is about 1 1 day longer than a year in the lunar calendar, so these three years are nothing special in the case of leap years.

However, there are many proverbs about the double spring year, such as "beans are as expensive as gold in two spring years" and "fur is as expensive as gold in two spring years". From the proverb, this is also a good moral for spring.

Leap month:

In 2023, the Year of the Rabbit leap in February. As for the leap month, there is also a folk saying "once every three years, once every five years and once every nineteen years", and this year coincides with the leap month.

Why leap in February next year? In fact, the solar calendar (also known as the solar calendar) is fixed, but the earth revolves around the sun for one year, with 365 days.

Lunar calendar (lunar calendar) is that the moon orbits the earth for one month, with a time of 29.52 days, while the ancestors took 12 months as a year, accounting for 354 days.

In this way, the difference between the solar calendar and the lunar calendar is 1 1 day, and in order to keep the solar calendar consistent with the seasons, the ancestors adopted the method of "leap month" to adjust it, so the saying of "leap in three years, leap in five years and leap in nineteen years" came from this. The leap February in 2023 is just 19, so if you want to wait for the next leap February, you have to wait until 2042.

As for the leap month, there are many folk sayings, such as "double spring leap month, good marriage year" and "double spring leap February, cold spring and dry autumn". In fact, the meanings of these proverbs are not bad, but there are some bad proverbs.

Year of the Black Rabbit:

Speaking of the black rabbit, the ancients calculated it by the way of "the calendar year of the dry branch". In addition to black rabbits, there are four kinds of rabbits, namely Mao Yi rabbit, Ding Mao rabbit, Ji Mao rabbit, Xin Mao rabbit and five kinds of rabbits.

These five kinds of rabbits correspond to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and also to the five colors of blue, red, yellow, white and black.

Therefore, we calculate according to the method of "trunk and branch calendar year", and in 2023, the trunk of heaven will be the decyl and the branch of earth will be the base. Because the Chinese zodiac signs correspond to the twelve earthly branches, the hair belongs to rabbits, so 2023 is the year of the rabbit. As for cassia, it belongs to water in the ten-day dry period, and its representative color is black, so 2023 is the year of the black rabbit.
