Is there more beginning of spring before or after the Spring Festival?

Beginning of spring is one of the 24 solar terms. Twenty-four solar terms are divided according to the solar year. A year is divided into four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each season has three months, namely, beginning of spring, beginning of autumn, Changchun and beginning of winter. The solar year is 365 and a quarter days. The calendar year takes the solar year as an integer.

The lunar calendar is a combination of yin and yang, and the first day of the first month is the beginning of a year, New Year's Day. The solar term in beginning of spring is about the first day of the first month. After the adoption of the Gregorian calendar in the Republic of China, Gregorian calendar 65438+ 10/became New Year's Day, and the first day of the Lunar New Year became the Spring Festival.

The calendar of our country is a kind of yin-yang calendar, which is formulated in combination with the sun-moon cycle. A year is divided into 24 solar terms according to the movement of the sun, and months according to the movement of the moon, and a leap month is added to solve the time difference between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar. As a result, some years have thirteen months in a year. In this way, the solar terms in beginning of spring may appear in the twelfth month of last year or the first month of next year, resulting in "no spring" years (few years) and "double spring" years.
