How many months is a quarter? ~

A quarter is three months, and a year is twelve months, divided into four quarters.

The current quarterly division is based on Gregorian calendar months:

The first quarter: 65438+ 10, February and March;

The second quarter: April, May and June;

The third quarter: July, August and September;

The fourth quarter: 65438+ 10 month, 165438+ 10 month, 65438+February.

There were four seasons in ancient China: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Seasons are also divided according to months. However, months are divided according to 24 solar terms. The twenty-four solar terms are more troublesome to remember, so you can remember them simply.

Simple method of dividing the month: according to the current Gregorian calendar (solar calendar), every month has two solar terms, the first one is "Festival" and the last one is "Zhong Qi and Qi". The months are divided according to the previous "festivals". The number of months is equal to the number of months in the Gregorian calendar minus one. For example, the fourth day of the solar calendar is beginning of spring, and beginning of spring is the first "festival" in February of the solar calendar. Therefore, beginning of spring is the symbol of dividing months. The number of months in the solar calendar is 2. 2- 1= 1. Therefore, it is the first month after beginning of spring. Beginning of spring is not only a symbol of dividing years, but also a symbol of dividing the first month. The relationship between seasons and months is as follows:

Spring: January, February and March;

Summer: April, May and June;

Autumn: July, August and September;

Winter: October, November and December.
