When is the next run in February?

The next operation in February is expected to occur in 2053. "Leap February" refers to the double "leap February" when February of the lunar calendar is a leap month. In the traditional calendar of China, a year usually has 12 months, and each month has 30 days or 29 days.

However, due to the inconsistency between the period of revolution of the Earth and the period of revolution of the Moon, it is easy to make mistakes when calculating the time according to the motion of the Moon. In order to solve this problem, China adopted the leap month method, that is, adding a leap month when necessary to balance the time difference.

According to the provisions of the calendar, leap February will only appear in one case, that is, when there are two solar terms between the 1 1 new moon in the first lunar month of that year and the 1 new moon in the first lunar month of the following year. This will prevent the Lunar New Year from coming forward to the twelfth lunar month in the coming year, thus maintaining the integrity and accuracy of the lunar calendar.

Specifically, there are two solar terms between the first month of the lunar calendar. The scene is as follows:

The last month of the previous year is a big month, and the first month of the next year is less than or equal to 29 days; The first month of next year is also a big month, but the beginning of February is not a twenty-four solar terms, but a slight cold or a severe cold; Next year, the first month will be a small moon, and the Great Cold Festival will be in 1, 2 1 or earlier.

The final decision on whether to leap in February must be calculated and approved by experts. Generally speaking, the appearance of RunFebruary is relatively rare, and it has been a long time since the last RunFebruary.

According to historical statistics, the last "leap February" appeared in 2033, that is, there were two solar terms between the first lunar month in 2032 and the first lunar month in 2033. At this time, a leap month appeared in the lunar calendar, that is, "leap February". The next "run in February" will take 20 years, that is, 2053.

In short, the appearance of leap February depends on whether there are two solar terms between the first month of the lunar calendar and the first month of the following year. The next operation in February is expected to occur in 2053.
