The Year of the Tiger has only 355 days. Why?

Introduction: Time flies. In a few days, we will usher in the Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger. The upcoming Year of the Tiger of the Lunar New Year begins at 1 in February 2022 and ends at 1 in October 2023, with 355 days. Why is this? Because the China lunar calendar determines the date and month according to the cycle of the moon phase, and determines the length of a year according to the 24 solar terms. Because the lunar month1February is not as long as the twenty-four solar terms, and1March has passed, the method of adding leap months in time is adopted to adjust the length of a year. For example, in the lunar leap year, there are leap months, including 13 lunar months, and in the normal lunar year, there are no leap months, including 12 lunar months. Every two or three years, a leap month will be added and staggered. In other words, the missing 10 days in 2022 will be made up in the next lunar leap year.
