Are there two first months in a year? Ant manor.

The problem with Ant Manor 65438+ 10/8 is that this year is the Year of the Rabbit, which means there are two.

Because of the leap month, this year is a leap year, and there will be two solar terms in beginning of spring in a year, namely "the end of the year in spring". In 2023, 65438+1October 22nd entered the year of Guimao, and in February 2024 10 will usher in the next Lunar New Year-Chen Jianian. Careful public will find that the year of Guimao in the lunar calendar includes two solar terms in beginning of spring, namely, beginning of spring on the 14th day of the first month of Guimao (February 4, 2023) and beginning of spring on December 25, 2024. Folk call this phenomenon "two springs a year", also known as "two spring years".

"Spring at both ends of the year" is a phenomenon of leap year in China lunar calendar. Yang Jing, a member of the Chinese Astronomical Society and director of the Tianjin Astronomical Society, explained that at present, the international Gregorian calendar and the 24 solar terms in China are compiled according to the law of the sun's operation, that is, the tropic year, so the solar terms in beginning of spring are basically fixed in the Gregorian calendar year, most of which is February 4th, and individual years are February 3rd or 5th.

Therefore, from the Gregorian calendar, whether it is 365 days in a normal year or 366 days in a leap year, beginning of spring solar terms will appear once a year, and the 24 solar terms will only appear once.
