What is Yan February's pressure?

Send parents leap moon shoes, and women drink leap moon tea.

There are various folk sayings in leap February, such as "leap month shoes, leap month shoes, leap month old people live 1000". In some local folk customs, every leap year and leap month, children should buy a pair of shoes for their parents to repay their parenting and pray for their parents' health and safety. In some areas, every leap month, married daughters should buy shoes for their mothers and wish their parents a long life. Therefore, for a married daughter, she can choose to buy a pair of shoes for her mother and father in February, in order to better repay her parents' kindness.

Through long-term practice, our ancestors divided a year into 24 solar terms, which were placed in 12 months, and each month had two fixed solar terms: the former was called "Festival" and the latter was called "Zhong". Such as "beginning of spring" and "Rain" in the first month. The former is "frugality" and the latter is "moderation". Solar terms and neutral gas are alternately arranged in monthly order. The average interval between two adjacent solar terms and neutral gas is 30 and a half days. However, the average lunar month (the first lunar month) is only 29 and a half days. In this way, next month's solar terms or gas will be delayed by one or two days from the previous month's solar terms and gas. At a certain point in time, "Zhong Qi" was not in the middle of the month and then moved to the end of the month. Next month, there will be only one kind of "frugality" and no "moderation".

According to the lunar calendar, any month with only solar terms and no neutral atmosphere can not be regarded as a month independently, but only as a subsidiary (sub-month) of a month-leap month.
