Did the daughter or daughter-in-law buy the leap moon shoes?

Leap moon shoes can be bought by daughters and daughters-in-law.

There are no uniform requirements and regulations, and customs vary from place to place. Some places are bought by daughters, and some places are bought by daughters-in-law. Generally speaking, there are no clear rules, depending on local customs. In some places, children will buy a pair of shoes for their parents in leap months.

In some places, in leap months, married daughters buy a pair of shoes for their mothers. In some places, every leap month, daughters have to make a pair of shoes for their parents. Although it is just a pair of ordinary shoes, it expresses her daughter's wishes for a long life for the elderly. Therefore, the custom of leap moon shoes has been passed down from generation to generation.

It is a tradition of the Chinese nation to send leap moon shoes to honor the elderly. In the past, people were poor, had no shoes to wear and worked barefoot. A wanderer from a foreign land bought a pair of cloth shoes for the old man to show his filial piety when he went home for a reunion in leap month. In short, buying shoes for the elderly represents the filial piety of children.

Introduction to the origin of leap February;

In fact, in ancient times, before the Republic of China, there was no such thing as a leap month. At that time, our ancestors celebrated China New Year on the day when the solar term "beginning of spring" came.

Of course, since there is no leap in February, there will naturally be no "beginning of spring" twice a year, let alone 384 days. After Yuan Shikai became president, he changed the traditional calendar of his ancestors. He didn't spend the Spring Festival in beginning of spring, but took the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar as the Spring Festival, and used the "double calendar" of the lunar calendar and the solar calendar.

But there are 365 days in the solar calendar and 654 days in the lunar calendar, with a difference of 1 1 day. If the gap of 1 1 day is calculated according to this law, then the lunar new year will be "out of touch" with the 24 solar terms.
